Giving Up the Fight Hey guys, and gals, can we talk? You know, I appreciate and respect the interest you have in transformation. Of course, you wouldn’t be here, reading these words right now, if you weren’t at least somewhat interested in transforming your physical health and spiritual well-being. You should feel really good about the fact that you’re even taking an interest in this; the vast majority of people on the planet to...
Reflect and ReviewOkay, today’s assignment is to take a good look at how we’re doing so far. If you’ve been doing the Transformation homework you might be surprised at how far along you’ve come already. What I’m going to do is give a review of all we’ve covered so far. In the narrative that follows, I wrote it so you could read it in the first person and see how it resonates with you. (When I say “I&...
Hey Transformers, Just stopping by to share something NEW! What I've got for you today is the inspiring and fun Transformation Story of Joe Pimental, a 38-year-old businessman and father of two from Colorado. Joe accepted a Challenge I issued at a seminar and started his program earlier this year. The result? See for yourself in this new Transformation Success Story. Go Joe Go!!! Wishing you Success too! Bill...
The Willingness to Learn Dear Friends,Today’s lesson is about learning – specifically, how much we can learn from each other. And that is something that this transformation community offers all of us right here and now. For example, Marty Goldman, the first 2008 Transformation Champion, is online here just about every day and is happy to answer people’s questions about how he accomplished such extraordinary results. And, Marty&...
Hey Team...I've been getting a lot of requests for previews of the new TRANSFORMATION book (which will be "hot off the press" and available in the 3rd week of October), so I decided to share the Foreword of the book with you now. By reading it, I'm sure you'll get a good feel for the intention of the book and perhaps you'll even see the direction of the new transformation path.Oh, and hey... I want to also take this opportunity to give ...
Transforming Your Lowest-Level HabitDear Friends,The whole process of transformation is one where we’re pushing ourselves to become more authentic, truthful, courageous, and aware. Assignment #1 (the before photo and inner reflection) was a big step in that direction. And now, with this exercise, we are going to courageously confront ourselves again. Here’s the way I see it: When it comes to Transformation, you can only rise as high a...
Dear Friends,Hey… A few weeks ago I posted a blog about the SUCCESS Symposium which was held at the Anaheim Convention Center in mid July. Since then I’ve received a lot of emails from people who weren’t able to make it to the event… many asked if a DVD of the seminar would be available. I looked into that and the answer is YES. The complete DVD set is available from Success Magazine. It’s quite a collection of ...
THE POWER OF RIGHT ENVIRONMENTS Dear Friends, Make no mistake, the type of change that we’re looking to make isn’t easy. However, if we stay on course with our healthy eating, consistent and intense exercise, and if we focus on our vision and our purpose, this transformation becomes an absolutely stunning and life-changing experience. Yet staying on course is easier said than done. Most struggle with it, a littl...
Now it's time for some INSPIRATION. As I see it, few things are more inspiring than success stories about people who've made a transformation in their lives. These stories help us in so many ways -- they can lift our spirits, help us break through limiting beliefs, strengthen our faith and open our hearts. And that’s what today's story’s all about -- it's the transformation of Sharen Martin, whom I had the opportunity to share ...
Transforming What you See Dear Friends,Today I want to talk to you about something which is very important at this point in your transformation journey. It's time to begin to transform our mindset -- to begin to change the way we see. One of the ways we do that is to consciously focus on progress not perfection. By focusing on progress -- by seeing what is going right -- we can stay positive, confident, and motivated. And, seeing progress even he...
A big congratulations and THANK YOU to all of you who started your transformation challenge today!! I am proud of you!! I have something I believe will help your inspiration as you get started. It's a remarkable success story and if you have a few minutes, please watch this video featuring Richard Brown, a father of 5 and HERO of mine who underwent a total Transformation in his life 4 years ago. Today, he is still going strong and helping other...
The Power of Positive Pressure All right Transformers…. here’s today’s lesson... One of the most powerful ways to accelerate your transformation is by setting a strict deadline for when you’ll achieve certain results. And, to add even more fuel to the fire, it helps to have both a prize and penalty.This is one of the reasons that the Challenge model I started back in the 90’s has worked so well for so many over...
This past Saturday I had the special opportunity to give a Transformation presentation to a fantastic group of 3,700+ motivated goal setters and achievers who were attending the second annual Success Symposium at the Anaheim Convention Center. The energy there was electric! It’s so exciting to talk to people who are open and eager to learn about meaningful ways which they can improve their lives and become successful so this event was a lot...
The Power of PurposeWhat’s the point?I remember catching a reflection of myself sitting on an exercise bench back in 1992, trying to get motivated for another workout. I looked in the mirror, shook my head, and mumbled, “What’s the point?” I was totally indifferent about the whole thing. I realized I didn’t even know why I was in the gym that day, or any day for that matter. I didn’t have any focus, no reason f...
Well, it’s been just about a week now since I got back from the Champion’s Cruise to Cabo and I’m still smiling from ear to ear! =)
As I mentioned in my blog a few days ago, I don’t know if I’ve ever been around more winners in one group as long as I can remember. Everyone from the "Inspired for Life" Jerry Braam, who helped organize this event to veteran Champions like Jeffrey "Strong for" Life MD, and "Star Jump's" Diane Robertson,...
Hey friends! Just thought I'd share some photos from last weekend's incredibly fun and inspiring 'Champions for Life Cruise.' I don't know if I have ever been surrounded by more winners in one group than this. I look forward to sharing three of the most powerful lessons learned from this group--lessons which I feel can help all of us lift our transformation efforts to the next level. Right now I am doing some final prep work for a Transformation ...
Okay… now it’s time to make another step in the right direction. It’s time that we focus on one of the most important aspects of being healthy: How to feed our bodies the right way, so we enjoy great health and abundant energy.No matter what your transformation goal -- whether your aim is to successfully complete a Body-for-LIFE program or simply let go of some unhealthy body fat or if, like me, you're training for an endurance...
Dear Friends,A few days ago I let you know what the first assignment is in this Transformation Challenge. It was a pretty simple one. But not at all an easy one. I asked that you take a before photo – a picture of how you look now – wearing a pair of workout shorts (for the guys), and for the gals, a sports bra or tight-fitting tank top and a pair of workout shorts. Then I ask that you attach that photo to a blank sheet of paper and w...
This Challenge to ‘Be the Change’ is about becoming a part of the solution (rather than part of the problem) to the ill health so many millions of men, women and now, even children, are suffering from at this very moment. I believe that we can each make a difference in this mission to transform the nation from worst to first. We do that by being the change. Only then can we authentically inspire others to transform. Over the ye...
Here we go… Are you up for a challenge? If so, please read this message carefully…Okay, as you may know by now, the new Transformation Community is all about helping each other make healthy changes across the board: body, mind, heart and soul. For some this means breaking free from a lifetime of suffering from poor health and low energy. For others, it’s making the leap from a good life to a GREAT life! And for ALL it’s ...
All right, here’s my report for today… You know Marty Goldman? The 55-year-old grandfather and small business owner from Waukegan, Illinois, who’s featured in our first TTV video series? Well, I went to see him early last week, and when I walked in the door, I did not even recognize him! I’ve seen a lot (thousands and thousands and thousands) of transformations over the last decade, and I’ll tell you what, Marty&rsq...
Today our community is grieving for Denise and the Taylor family with the loss of Jonnae just yesterday morning. The outpouring of compassion, kindness and love from all of you here in the community has been incredible to witness.I’m just really proud, not only of Denise, but all of you as well. I’m really beginning to see your true character… the practice of the Universal Law of Reciprocation here is very authentic and from th...
From Denise this morning:It is finished. Her battle is over. Her heavenly birth happened around 4am this morning. I will provide you with Mass details as we have arranged them.Live your life fully. Not only today, but everday. It is merely one of the many precious gifts she has provided us.Bless you for making this such a beautiful experience for us. The love that's been poured all over us during this most exhausting war is something that has for...
Dear Friends, As you may know, this past Sunday I had the privilege of joining Transformation Champion Denise Taylor for an inspiring celebration of her daughter Jonnae's life, at the Grand Theatre in New Albany, Indiana. Hundreds of the most caring and kind folks I've ever met were there to pay tribute to this beautiful young woman; to celebrate her life and thank her for all that she has given to others throughout her 15-years here. W...
Here's today's news...I just got back to LA from Chicago where we did another few days of filming for the new Transformation TV show. I'll continue to share previews of the show here on the TTV section of the site. The full program is scheduled to begin airing in a few months (Oct. 21) on national TV. I'll keep you posted on when and where to tune in.I can't quite tell you everything that went on in Chicago just yet. I can say that the events of ...
Dear Friends,I just sat down in my hotel room in downtown Chicago and I'm looking out at the city lights, the river, and the Navy Pier. It's serene. Just after midnight. Today has been extraordinary. Incredible actually. I started the day off in Austin, TX. I spoke there Friday night, sharing my vision for the Transformation. And I was scheduled to talk again today at 3:00. But when I woke up this morning, it was so clear that my heart wasn't th...
It’s time for another update… Last week I flew out to Colorado to meet two more of our 2008 Transformation All-Stars. The first was Joe Pimental, a 38-year-old businessman and father of two. Joe accepted the challenge I issued late last year when I was speaking at a Peak Potentials event in Palm Springs. Joe started transforming his body and life shortly thereafter. His results by April were very impressive -- he got rid of 36 lbs of...
I have some important news to share today... and I need to ask for your help. As you may know, I recently flew out to Sellersburg, Indiana to pay a visit to our new Transformation Champion and inspirational hero, Denise Taylor. She made the change from unhealthy to healthy, completing her first challenge in 2003; and since then, she's taken transformation to a whole new level... beyond the physical, and into the spiritual. Her faith and inner str...
Dear Friends, I'm back from Boca. I flew from LA to Miami last week and then headed up to the Boca Raton Resort to give a Transformation Talk Friday to a few hundred doctors who were attending a 4-day medical conference. My discussion was about specifically how doctors can help motivate people to make healthy changes in their lives. And it's a subject of great interest to many doctors who are on the leading edge of a paradigm shift which is begin...
Dear Friends,Okay, here's what's happening...I just now got back to Los Angeles after a whirlwind flight to Sellersburg, Indiana where last evening, I made a surprise visit to our new Transformation Champion, Denise Taylor. What I love about Denise is that she started with a 12-week Transformation back in 2003, and she has continued to transform ever since. Once she got her body in great shape, she moved on to transforming her emotional and spiri...
