Dedication

My Parents and Brothers

My parents are my heroes! From birth, I believe my parents were on a relentless journey to instill a spirit of excellence in me. They pressed, pushed, and challenged me never to quit, to keep trying, and get back up when I fall. My parents exhibited a high-performance model, making them tremendous role models for me. My brothers are both over-achievers and inspire me always to keep striving to do my best.

My Husband

My knight in shining armor—the love of my life and my best friend. Our life journey has provided me with the platform to obtain a positive growth mindset and achieve a high-performance life.

My Son

I want to thank my son for his love, for being the apple of my eye, and for encouraging me to dream bigger. He inspires me to improve, become a better role model, and live my best life.

Why I Am Writing This Book

One day, while scrolling through my Kindle library, I reflected on all my book mentors, whose insights, teachings, and training have profoundly impacted my life. I realized that the insights I have gained from my life experiences and my high-performance personal transformation might bring value to the lives of others.

In this book, I will share the insights I have gathered from my mentors and the high-performance systems and methodologies I have developed based on my experiences. I have used these systems and processes to heal emotionally, repair and build stronger relationships, increase my mental acuity, and achieve optimal physical fitness.

In this book, you will discover a high-performance growth roadmap that will provide the missing structure in your life, help you heal emotionally, enhance your relationships, improve physical fitness, and grow spiritually.

Furthermore, I will help you develop and nurture a high-performance mindset. The contents and exercises in this book will help you identify your life purpose and values, create your life vision, and build your high-performance growth plan.

It is my goal that through the assessments and the bonus resources included in this book, you will be able to identify the gaps and blind spots that are keeping you from reaching your full potential and living a high-performance life. By the end of this book, you will have all the tools and resources to help you develop a High-Performance Growth Plan.

Since you are reading this book, I believe that you desire to heal emotionally, repair broken relationships, build stronger relationships, achieve optimal mental and physical performance, enhance your character, build leadership skills, and become a better friend, spouse, or parent. You are either a student of high-performance growth development or want to become a student of high-performance growth. So, my plan is to answer your question, how do I do that?

To reach your maximum potential, you will need to determine your current baseline across all your environments, acquire a high-performance growth mindset, create a High-Performance Growth Plan, and, most importantly, you will need to acquire the sustained desire to become a consistent high performer in all seven core areas of your life.

By reading this book, you will gain mastery of the following:

Understanding your current environmental baseline.

Acquiring and maintaining a positive mindset.

Acquiring clarity around your life vision and purpose.

Obtaining a relentless focus on your mindset and growth goals.

Overcoming complacency in your mind and body.

Leveraging your high-performance growth support system

Deciding to act and practice a high-performance life.

Starting your high-performance growth transformation journey.

Designing a High-Performance Personal Growth Plan.

Developing and mastering a high-performance personal growth mindset.

Learning how to experience consistent and permanent personal growth transformation.

Establishing or restructuring your core emotional, relational, and physical/spatial environmental value or belief set.

Defining your life purpose, vision, growth goals, and strategic action plans.

Identifying and eradicating emotional, relational, and physical barriers prohibiting high-performance growth.

Accelerating your high-performance personal growth through time blocking, daily reflection, plan recalibration and establishing a high-performance personal accountability system.

Maintaining your high performance through measuring your daily, weekly, quarterly, and yearly growth plan progress.

One of my favorite sayings is the Latin proverb, fortes Fortuna adiuvat which means fortune favors the brave in English. It takes courage to make a change, it takes courage to search deep inside yourself, it takes courage to make hard decisions, and it takes courage to rise out of complacency and mediocrity, take action to fulfill your life potential, and build a high-performance life.

The invitation to begin this journey of high-performance growth transformation is a defining moment in your life. This opportunity may not present itself again, so be courageous and resolve today to develop a positive growth mindset, heal emotionally, enjoy strong, fruitful relationships, and create an ideal physical environment by building a High-Performance Growth Plan. Don’t wait. Start your journey now! Architect your high-performance life today!

Chapter one

The High-Performance Growth Mindset

A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, and it sparks extraordinary results.

~ Wade Boggs

High-Performance Transformational Moment

It is never too late to embark on the journey of personal development. Our personal development journey is a lifelong process of cultivating a high-performance growth mindset and striving for high-performance for the benefit of making life better for humanity.

~ Kirsten Oelrich

Merriam-Webster defines on-purpose as something set up as an object or end to be obtained with intention. Merriam-Webster defines high-performance as being better, faster, or more efficient than others.(Merriam-Webster, n.d.).

Suppose you were to interview the elite performers living today─the top 1% of authentic high performers. You would find that they would have all or most of these characteristics or traits. As you read this book, I would encourage you to note these traits and compare them against your current state. None of us are perfect, but there is a way to accelerate our growth and performance, which I plan to demonstrate throughout this book.

We will look at high performance in the context of seven core pillars that will be discussed in detail in a chapter later in this book. Take a moment to examine the following traits of high-performers and make a mental note of which characteristics you currently exhibit and the traits you desire to assimilate into your behavior set.

You will deliver high-performance results by the measure that you acquire a high-performance growth mindset and develop and assimilate the traits of the top 1% of high performers. Will you accept this challenge? If so, buckle your seat belts, and we will get started!

Recently, I read a Forbes article that discussed how to develop a personal growth mindset that fuels business success. The discussion focused on how personal development encompasses all generations. People invest substantial time reading individual development books, listening to personal development podcasts, and taking personal development classes and seminars. To further illustrate the solid generational interest in personal development, according to Grandview Research, the global personal development industry has the potential to reach nearly $56.7 Billion by 2027 (Rains 2020).

This research provides strong evidence that people are either renewing their interest or becoming interested in their personal development. If you are already a high performer, this is not a new concept. If you are renewing your interest and embarking upon the journey of personal development, you will discover that establishing a positive high-performance growth mindset is the first step towards a successful personal growth journey, developing emotional intelligence and increased relational awareness, creating optimal mental and physical health, cultivating an excellent character, and architecting a high-performance life.

The Importance of Cultivating a High-Performance Growth Mindset

I believe this is an unparalleled time to learn why you need to develop, cultivate, and maintain a positive growth mindset to achieve high-performance results across all areas of your life. We will answer the following questions: Why do I need a personal growth mindset? What does it mean to have a personal growth mindset? Why do I need a High-Performance Growth Plan?

Scientific American published an article, Is it Time for a Personal Growth Mindset? Carol Dweck, who coined the concept of a growth mindset, states that individuals who possess a growth mindset believe that intelligence can be developed over time, unlike those who possess a fixed mindset. She explains that a fixed mindset believes that intelligence remains stable across the life span.

Carol Dweck suggests that the internal drive to actualize oneself and realize one’s potential is critical to their well-being. She also points out that the drive for personal growth decreases with age (Kaufman 2015).

"When we take small steps of growth every day, over time, we see progress. And then our hope has the most potential to be realized. If you string together enough days of consistent growth, you begin to change as a person. You become better, stronger, more skilled,
