Creating Your M.V.P. Process Doesn’t Happen By Accident. It Happens By Intent.

ZEROING IN ON IT

I’ve mentioned it already, but creating your M.V.P. Process doesn’t happen by accident. Within this process, we will discuss how once you create your Mission, plan out your Vision, and identify and define the core Principles you want to shrink that down into your QUARTERLY WINDSHIELD. This is where you take your long term (HELICOPTER) vision/goals and break them down into bite size chunks of “Yes or No— Did you do it?” visions/goals for the next 90 days.

THE WINDSHIELD

When creating these windshields, I like to focus on

3 key areas:

Personal
Career
Energy

I focus on these three areas because they make up about 100% of what we do each day.

We are always working/investing into our personal lives, work lives, or our energy (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual).

I then take each of those categories and break them into subcategories.

For the Personal Windshield, I break this into the subcategories of:

Family Finance Charity Friends

For the Career Windshield, I break this into the subcategories of:

Professional Education
Income Stream Areas: “Consulting Business”
Income Stream Area: “Investments”

*Note: When working on the MVP Process with my athletes,

I have them create a category here for their sport.

When I work with a client of mine who is a financial markets trader, I have her create a category for “Trading“.

These subcategories are personal and customizable to you.

For the ENERGY Windshield, I break this into the subcategories of:

Physical
Mental
Emotional
Spiritual

For the ENERGY Windshield, I break this into the subcategories of:

I make sure that my clients (myself included) are setting 1-3 Quarterly goals for each subcategory.

When setting these goals they must follow the SMART Process:

S = Specific – Can you clearly see the vision being achieved and is it easily answered with a YES or NO in regards to achievement it at the end of the quarter.
M = Measurable – is the vision clearly measurable?
A = Attainable and within reach – is the vision attainable in the next 90 days? Or, is it more of a life vision that will take more time than the current quarter?
R = Relentless – is this a vision that I am ultra motivated to achieve and will relentlessly attack? If not, don’t set the vision.
T = Time Driven – Do I have a specific date and time I will get this vision accomplished? (More on this in another article as I explain developing a “168 plan”).

If you set SMART goals and visions, you give yourself the best chance to achieve them.

The more specific you are, the more meaning your goals and vision will have to you. And when adversity strikes and you want to give up, having deeply meaningful goals is incredibly important.

In my online courses, I teach athletes and corporate warriors how to create more intention in their lives. The courses are designed to help them figure out more of who they are, what they want, and identify where they are investing their time.

Coach P’s Insights

Creating Your M.V.P. Process doesn’t happen by accident.

Usually after I cover with my clients the importance of having an MVP Process they usually ask,

“Coach P, how do I go about creating my MVP Process?”

Because creating your M.V.P. Process doesn’t happen by accident, in this series, we will cover the steps it takes to create an intentional M.V.P. Process.

STEP #1: IDENTIFY YOUR “MVP”

M = Mission

I define mission as the eulogy process or banquet process. “What do you want people to say about you at a banquet being held in your honor? or “What you want to be written on your tombstone?”. A great mission has NO FINISH LINE.

Example:

Live a life that impacts others to be the best version of themselves.

V = Vision

I define vision as what you want to achieve, get done, and have on your life resume.

For something to be a vision, it MUST HAVE CLEAR FINISH LINES.

I also set two types of visions:

#1 Helicopter visions for my life. In a helicopter you can see the landscape from above.

The big picture view. I want to look out into the future beyond 90 days.

#2 Windshield visions for what I want to accomplish this quarter (3 month period) and this day

(More on this in another article as I explain developing a “168 plan”).

Example:

Live debt free.
Go through Coach P’s online program.
Travel to all 50 US States.
Weigh 195 lbs. with 10% body fat.
Run a 6-minute mile.
Make $100K a year.
Retire and live off interest at 50 years old.

P = Core Principles

I define core principles similar to how you might think of a set of core values or character traits.

These core principles define how you want to behave from moment-to-moment basis. You must define your core principles in your own words so that you bring more clarity to them.

You and I may both have the core principle of family or discipline and we could have completely different definitions.

Example: Discipline – Doing what I know I should do regardless of how I feel.

Creating Your M.V.P. Process

It doesn’t happen by accident.

It happens by intent

I am often asked, “Coach P, what is the number one thing I can do in my craft to take my performance to the next level?

The Beginning

Most people are looking for hacks, tricks, and tips for making their journey of peak performance sexier and more appealing.

My response to these individuals is usually the same:

“Be intentional in who you are, what you want, and where you invest your time.”

For most people that answer doesn’t work for them. They want the quick fix. However, the process doesn’t have to be hard, so don’t make it out to be harder than it needs to be. I can’t blame people for asking. When I was younger, I looked for shortcuts as well. We all look for shortcuts.

We see it all the time…

I totally understand where the question stems from. There are so-called “experts” touting “shortcuts” all the time. Most of the time, it’s all smoke and mirrors rhetoric.

Nothing ever replaces the brutally honest hard work of getting REAL and RAW with yourself in order to figure out who you are and what you’re about. GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT, and ultimately, your definition of SUCCESS only happens by living a life of intent. It doesn’t happen by accident.

This is the way…

The only way to live with intent is to have a plan. You don’t need a plan all the way to the “finish line”, but rather a plan to get you out of the “starting gate”. There are too many variables in our lives to have a blueprint that maps out our lives perfectly.

In my work with athletes and corporate warriors, I teach them how to create more intention in their lives. My work with them is designed to help them figure out more of who they are, what they want, and identify where they are investing their time.

In this M.V.P. series, I will walk you through the PROCESS of how you can become more INTENTIONAL about who your are, what you want, and here you are investing your time.

Three Keys To Mental Performance

Question Of The Day –

“Coach P, I understand in order to perform at my best I need a routine, but how do I create one?”

If I ask multiple high-level performers about what the best of the best that I work with what they do to achieve peak mental performance, the consensus would be that they follow the build routines around the following three keys to mental performance in their preparation. By creating routines, they are effectively able to put them into action each and every day.

CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES TO CHANGE YOUR MENTALITY

When you show up to the locker room, the office, or the gym have a routine that you go through to shift your mindset from outside life to that of the athlete or business professional you want to be, so that you can be more present in order to separate the pressures of your daily life in order to create enjoyment around your craft.

When you change from your street clothes, leave the stress of life behind. Give yourself permission to be present and free to train and compete in your craft.

GO RADIO SILENT

Yes, I know…you can’t remember the last time you turned your phone off.

Well…if you want to be great, you must be present and a big part of your routines must be invested into getting your mind into the moment. As soon as that phone buzzes, it rips us out of the present-moment. Be abnormal in your approach.

Turning off your phone or app notifications while you are training/competing or working on that project will help you shut off the outside world and say “Hello, present-moment focus!”

RELAX, BREATHE, AND VISUALIZE

Taking two or three minutes to find a quiet place on your own to close your eyes, focus on your breathing and visualize your best performance of you in your craft will give you the presence of mind and body.

Remember that with visualization everything happens twice. First, in your mind, then in reality. It creates the confidence you need to get the most out of your day and your potential for that rep, set, training session, business meeting, practice, game, time with family, and, ultimately, your day.

If you get the most out of each day, you will get the most out of your career.

Today + Today + Today = your athletic and/or business career.

Make the destination where you are at today. Treat today like that championship or that dream job you want.

The Five Paths of Peak Performance

Posted on November 20, 2021November 20, 2021 by Coach P

The Five Paths of Peak Performance

Mental Toughness, Peak Performance…If I ask ten people what it is, I will probably get ten different answers. In my two-plus decades of working with athletes and business professionals of all levels, I have witnessed the best, most consistent, mentally-tough, rock-solid individuals in the athletic and business worlds. I have summarized these traits in what I call “The Five Paths of Peak Performance”. It’s a simple framework to help you start developing your own peak performance mentality.

STAY PRESENT

Mentally tough athletes and business professionals win more by not focusing on winning. They win more by focusing on the process of what it takes to win. It’s an often used saying – “Focus on the process” Well, do you have a process? If so, can you articulate it when asked.

STAY PROCESS-FOCUSED

Being an athlete and high-performing business professional is suppose to be tough. You are going to enjoy some major wins and will get to embrace some tough losses. Mental toughness is about choosing to look at the wins and the losses as a learning experience with positive feedback for you to get better. Failure is positive feedback, winning is positive. In life, we are all learners! The only time you a loser is when you choose to stop learning.

rEMAIN POSITIVE

KEEP IT IN PERSPECTIVE

Keeping the right perspective is critical to your success in life. Do you keep a “have to” or a “get to” perspective when it comes to doing the things that will create success? High-performers realize that effort is part of the process in reaching their potential. They keep a “get to” mindset when it comes to their craft. If you have to be reminded about your effort, you should probably go find something else to do. Why? Your effort is controllable. You must maximize all aspects of your performance that you can control – and all you can control is yourself and your A.P.E.

– Attitude, Appearance (your body language), Perspective, Preparation, Performance, Effort, Energy, and Emotions.

Keep your perspective in a place of “get to” and never a “have to”.

PREPARATION ROUTINES

Former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden said it best: “Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.” Creating routines that get you prepared are an essential part of consistent high-level performance.
