Why It’s Time to Redefine Performance: Giving Rise to a New Lifestyle

6/26/2025

Picture
By John Allen Mollenhauer, Performany, ​Performance Lifestyle, Regenus Center
For decades, the term “performance” has been narrowly defined. In business, it’s been equated with productivity, output, and hustle. In athletics, it’s meant pushing limits, optimizing physical output, or winning at all costs. In personal development, it’s often framed as grinding harder, staying motivated, or hacking discipline. But let’s be honest: Those definitions of performance are breaking people.

By Cal Thomas, Sandler Training Morristown
Are your personal goals guiding your daily actions—or just sitting on a list? Too many sales professionals fall into the trap of chasing quotas or putting out fires without ever asking, “Is this helping me reach my goals?” According to Sandler’s Success Triangle, behavior is a foundational piece of long-term success. But behavior without context—without a clear goal—can lead to wasted effort, burnout, and stagnation.​

Lately, it feels like every headline about the housing market comes with a side of doubt. Are prices going up or down? Are we headed for a crash? Will rates ever come down? And all the media noise may leave you wondering: does it really make sense to buy a home right now? But here’s one thing that doesn’t get enough airtime. Real estate has always been about the long game. And when you look at the big picture, not just the latest clickbait headlines, it’s easy to see why so many people say it’s still the best investment you can make – even now. ​

5/22/2025

By Gennifer Biggs, Exigent Technologies
​​In a business climate defined by complexity and constant change, technology is both a powerful tool and a potential bottleneck. That’s why it’s common for growth-minded small and midsize businesses to explore the advantages of partnering with a managed services provider (MSP). Whether you’re wrestling with recurring IT issues, overwhelmed by cybersecurity, or simply seeking alignment between technology and your strategic goals, managed services can be a transformative solution.

Transform Your CRM From a Frustration Into a Sales-Driving Asset
Are you frustrated with your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system? Does it feel more like a digital paperweight than a productivity tool? If your team dreads CRM data entry or your sales forecasts miss the mark, you’re not alone. Sales leaders everywhere face the same challenge: CRM systems are often underutilized, poorly adopted, and disconnected from real-world selling. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

In today’s workplace five generations often work side by side. That creates a dynamic environment with diverse perspectives and talents, yet it also comes with challenges. One of the most common questions we hear from clients is, “How do we motivate and engage our younger employees?” The answer lies in thoughtful development. The younger generation isn’t lacking drive, they’re looking for direction.

The Fountain of Youth Starts Here

By Lois Manzella-Marchitto, Fitness Knocking 
When people think about having longevity and a long health span, the first things that come to mind are usually diet and exercise. This is true and behind every new habit, food choice, or fitness goal is something even more important—your mindset.  Ideally one that’s healthy. As I love to say, “Put your workout gear on and get started, your mind will follow.” Our desire to be perfect often sidelines us from what we really want to achieve and starting. But the truth is, we just need to get up and do something.

PERFORMANY: A New Word for a New Way to Live—That Busts the 4 Biggest Myths of Human Performance

5/22/2025

 
Picture
By John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM”, Founder, Performany Inc | Creator of the ​Performance Lifestyle®
“PERFORMANY” is not just a name. It’s a mission, a movement, and a message whose time has come—because human performance should never be reserved for the elite few. It’s for all of us. It’s for the many. We Don’t Need More Hustle. We Need People Who Can Perform—and Still Thrive. In a culture obsessed with doing, hustle for periods of time is good, but we’ve created a warped idea of what “performance” actually means.

Is Co-Managed IT Right for Your Business? Key Tips to Decide

5/19/2025

 
Picture
By Gennifer Biggs, Exigent Technologies
As technology becomes more critical—and more complex—many organizations find themselves at a crossroads as their business expands. Perhaps they have outgrown fully managed IT services [https://www.exigent.net/assurance] and have decided to hire an internal IT person, but can’t afford a large enough internal team to handle all the company’s tech needs. Or, they have in-house IT staff, but the team is overwhelmed and needs help. That’s where co-managed IT services come into play.

As we head into summer vacation season, let’s talk about the hidden dangers of “juice jacking,” a silly name for stealing data from a device such as a laptop or mobile phone while it’s being charged using a public USB or USB-C charging station. Cybercriminals load malware onto those public USB ports, turning a charging stop in an airport, hotel room, or restaurant into an opportunity for hackers to lock your device or steal personal data!

In today’s performance-obsessed world, the demand to show up at your best is no longer a luxury—it’s a baseline expectation. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, executive, parent, athlete, or student, you’re expected to bring it—every day, all day—without pause. But here’s the problem: we’ve normalized output without ever addressing input. We measure success by what gets done, but rarely ask: at what cost?

​​ “The manager is the single most important person in your organization.” – Gallup, It’s the Manager 
When it comes to leadership development, most organizations are investing in classroom-style workshops, daylong seminars, or one-size-fits-all programs that check the training box.

Managers Don’t Make Sales

3/27/2025

 
Picture
By Cal Thomas, Sandler Training Morristown
Many sales managers earn their promotions from within the sales team—not necessarily as the top performer, but as someone consistently among the best. They’re also often proficient in handling weekly administrative tasks. These are valuable traits, but they aren’t the primary measure of a manager’s success. A sales manager’s main role isn’t to make sales but to develop their team’s ability to sell—including taking over the deals they once closed themselves.  For many, this shift is challenging.

Lead to Win: Strengthening Your Market Position with Stronger Leadership

3/27/2025

By Laura Crothers, Crothers Consulting
“Your collective leadership is only as good as your weakest leader."  I heard this statement over 15 years ago at a leadership development conference, and it hit me like a brick. At the time, I was part of a small leadership team. One leader stood out—not for the right reasons. He was technically brilliant but struggled as a people leader; high turnover in his department, micromanaged employees afraid to speak up and peers who dreaded meetings with him because of his argumentative nature. Yet, we tolerated it because of the “value” he brought and the results he delivered.

How Different Would Your Life Be If Change Wasn’t So Hard?

Every day I meet the most amazing people. What makes me sad is how few believe that about themselves. It can be tough to feel good about yourself these days. The demands on your time usually mean that in any given moment you are disappointing somebody. When you are at work you worry that you are not spending enough time with your family. When you are with your family you are thinking of all the things you haven’t done at work. It’s hard to feel satisfied with your life when your to-do list is longer than the day.

I could have titled this “The Science Behind Why You Get Tired…” one of the primary questions I asked when I began developing the Performance Lifestyle®.  One of the top two identifiers of someone living a balanced and healthy “performance lifestyle” is that they regularly and systemically recharge and restore or “revitalize” their body to maintain energy balance at a minimum, meaning they are not spending more energy than they are recuperating every day.
