The very best way to learn something is to teach it to someone. When you commit to another, you become a champion.
One of the greatest rewards of being a champion is the sense of commitment. When we give of ourselves, we grow and so do the people we are working with. In Life Success's Basic seminar, we teach about the concept of responsibility: "I am responsible for myself and to others."
Being responsible is being committed not only to our growth but to the important people in our life. Who are you committed to? How can you better champion them?

Instant Replay
By Mike Monahan, executive director and CEO of Life Success Seminars Inc.
With all of the cameras used in sports broadcasts, every play can be reviewed from several different angles. In football, the replay can be so quick that if the coaches don't trust the call, they can throw a red flag and challenge the call. In many cases, the original decision is overturned and a new ruling dictates a different set of actions.
In today's world, with all the technology breakthroughs we're experiencing, we may see a time when all of our decisions will be up for review--and possibly overturned. If we don't trust what the boss says, we throw a red flag and ask for an instant replay!
What do you think? Let's hope our children don't get red flags until they are 18!

Plan Your Commitments
By Mike Monahan, executive director and CEO of Life Success Seminars Inc.
The top 10% of people, those who are the most successful, have written plans. Do you have a written plan for the most important areas of your life? When 2010 ends, will you wish that you had taken action instead of just talking about what you want?
If you want to be successful, your success rate will improve if your plan is written and includes the following:
1. Know what you want.
2. Believe you deserve it.
3. Communicate what you want.
4. Take action in the direction of your goal.
When will you be in the top 10%? And why not get started now?

Time to Celebrate
By Mike Monahan, executive director and CEO of Life Success Seminars Inc.
At the end of each of Life Success's Basic and IPI seminars, we celebrate. In fact, we call this time "Celebration." Celebration honors the hard work and achievements of the seminar participants. The participants share their successes with the friends and family who they invite to Celebration.
We are so busy with our lives that we seldom take time to celebrate our achievements. If you don't honor your accomplishments, you'll probably think that you aren't making progress. When you feel like you aren't making progress, it's easy to feel disappointed. Disappointment then becomes a replacement for celebration.
What have you accomplished that needs to be celebrated?
