The Healthy, High-Achiever℠

Performance Lifestyles So You and Your Team Can Achieve Ambitious Goals, Full Out, Without Burning 🔥 Out or Trading Your Health and Well Being For Success.​
I want to introduce you to an approach to goal achievement and an ever-better quality of life, even as you age. I’m borrowing a page from the world of athletics, but for his article, understand that the term “athlete,” which goes back to Bible (2 Timothy2:5 and Psalms19:5) and beyond, does not need to evoke visions of grueling preparation for a sporting event.  Bill Bowerman of Nike said, “if you have a body, you are an athlete.”  So how I would like you to interpret my use of the term “athlete” is as someone who has a lifestyle that enables them to manage their energy, stay healthy and both function and perform at higher levels in life—family, career/business, art, sport, ministry etc. 
Ok, let’s get into it. 
As a Professional Lifestyle Coach, I help people optimize the way they live so they can achieve their God-inspired dreams and goals. In other words, I help people become healthy, high achieving people who thrive.  Which means, I want people, including myself, to have health and wealth, not one or the other and of course cultivated happiness. And for that outcome, one needs to have a lifestyle that creates those successful outcomes. And the way best way I’ve found to do that, to help people become healthy, high achieving people who thrive, is to develop healthy High-Performance Lifestyles.

People who achieve their ambitious goals with vibrant health and peace of mind, all have high performance lifestyles; lifestyles that support them and what they are up to in the world.  Do you want to spend the next 20 years just learning how to sleep, eat and exercise for example, when there is so much more to how you live and what you are living for?  Probably not. 

So, I am here to say changing, improving, and now “optimizing” the way you live do not need to be the struggle it used to be, particularly for fully engaged people. If you can see yourself as an athlete in your own life, or simply someone who achieves their goals with their health and wellbeing intact and, more importantly, lives like that consistently, you will experience both transformation and development far easier.  It does not matter if you are into sports or even a fitness enthusiast; step by step, to be a healthy high achiever who thrives, someone who leverages the power of their own lifestyle to achieve their goals; you "turn pro" or “live your life like a pro” and leave "amateur" behind in your one precious life...

So I ask you:
  1. What if you truly treated yourself as if the game, you're playing in life is at least as compelling as any sports athlete's game or sport?
  2. What if you believed this so absolutely that you resolutely cared for your spirit, mind, body, and whole life following that truth, no matter how challenging your circumstances or busy your schedule is.
  3. AND, what if you were to superbly educate yourself on how-to live-in balance—intentional about what you do, and why, how to do it, and when at the right level, intensity, and consistency for you to accomplish and achieve the desired results you want in your life?" 

You'd be living a high-performance lifestyle and well on your way to becoming a healthy high achiever who thrives, that's what.  

Who are the Healthy, High achievers, you ask? 

It's driven people up to big things in their lives. Of course, athletes, but now entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals—who are likely working parents.  It’s people who are learning how to achieve their goals not only "while" living in balance (for starters, recuperating at least as much energy as they spend) with vibrant health and peace of mind but "by" living that way. No longer waiting until they're completely and utterly successful to live a better lifestyle, healthy high achievers are those who understand you need to live a better lifestyle to achieve your desired goals. They wake up to be successful, but know, that living unhealthy and then trying to get a little more sleep, eat better, and exercise more from time to time, when symptoms arise, never works. 

Athletes for example know they have to manage their energy and stay healthy, or they won’t be able to perform well; if they don't perform well, they won't achieve their goals.  Healthy High Achieving people act in the same way as they align with Performance Lifestyle® principles, and take charge of the practices, and strategies influencing their capabilities and quality of life. They learn and live the full spectrum of an energy-managed, spirit-driven, healthy, and therefore performance-promoting lifestyle; and as a result, they achieve at a higher level; and then live even better! 

How EXACTLY do you get into a HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIFESTYLE®?
Step by step, that's how.

First, you can go to my website LifestyleCoachJAM.com and assess your lifestyle against The 5 Core Essentials of Human Performance© and determine, of each essential, what:
a) You are just waking up to?
b) Needs work? (maybe a lot?)
c) Is status quo? (meaning, a passing grade but not improving?),
d) Is Working for you, not against you most of the time?   
e) Is Optimal, 90% of the time or more?  

I've then highlighted the five achiever types— Potentialite, Striver, Overachieving Underperformer, High Achiever, and Healthy High Achiever. 
Picture
The reason you want to know where you are on the path because each stage or phase of becoming a healthy high achieving person who thrives depends on having more of The 5 Core Essentials of Human Performance©, and the lifestyle they translate to, working for you in your approach.  For example, how a striver achieves their goals is very different than how a high achiever or healthy high achiever fulfills theirs with a higher level of mindset development, and more lifestyle skillsets in play.

Each achiever type is a stage or phase of mindset development and lifestyle optimization. This could not be more important for you to know because your ‘personal or professional growth’ while important is not the primary determinant of your performance in life; your mindset and lifestyle are. 

Personal and professional development, while of course important, doesn't do it alone because if your lifestyle is not supporting and serving you, you’ll be distracted and held back by hidden lifestyle challenges such as fatigue, health issues, and an inability to function at full capacity.

Have you ever noticed that you can still struggle no matter how personally developed you are?  Have you also noticed that person who probably hasn’t picked up a book in a long time, or ever gone to a seminar, yet crushes it in their career?  It's likely because they have a high-performance mindset, even if they don’t have the lifestyle yet. It doesn’t mean they are “healthy” high achievers who thrive, they could be just high achievers, and still trading their health for success, but it’s still their mindset and lifestyle (including their workstyle) to some degree which is driving their success; all other development depends on your mindset and lifestyle.   

You see it doesn't matter if you've already achieved some of your biggest goals and are a financial success; it's still hard to “live your best self or life” if you are tired, coping with poor health habits, and unable to perform at full capacity.  There are nuances around this, that I simply can’t get into fully in this article, but suffice it to say for now, that people who resoundingly and dramatically succeed in life—and yet maintain vibrant (meaning energy-abundant) health while doing it—know and live by The 5 Core Essentials of Human Performance© and all their requisite skills for wellbeing in their physical, psychological, social, community and financial lives.

Either naturally or through training, healthy, high-achieving people who thrive have built in these crucial practices and perspectives.  They live what has proven elusive for most would-be high achievers: and that is a balanced, fully engaged lifestyle, regardless of how ambitious their goals, with a fully alive existence and grace as their new normal.  Sure, they have challenging periods, but because they have the mindset and skillset for high performance—with proper recovery and flow, and an optimal lifestyle, they have miraculously low distress in facing those challenges.  

I want that for you, to learn more go to LifestyleCoachJAM.com and take The 5 Core Essentials of Human Performance Assessment.

Nothing will inspire you to live better, than knowing how you’re living is fulfilling the vision you have for your life!  ~ JAM
