Welcome to this special BONUS episode of The Raise Your Game Show. We recently finished up Season 12 (which focused on the core lessons from my latest book, Sustain Your Game) and we’re looking forward to launching Season 13 right after Labor Day. Season 13 will explore how high performers utilize the Unseen HoursI’ve been interviewing magicians, rappers, dancers, stand-up comedians, YouTubers, pro athletes, actors, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prep themselves to perform at a world class level. I’ve got a feeling Season 13 will be our best season yet!But before we kick off the new season, I wanted to insert this BONUS episode and share a keynote I delivered this past April in Rapid City, South Dakota in front of a sold-out crowd of 1,600 attendees at the prestigious Day of Excellence event. This experience was one of the highlights of my professional career… and for any of you that are not deeply familiar with my work and my message… or for those that are but have never heard one of my entire keynotes… I hope you enjoy this episode and find it helpful.On that note, do you know of any organization that would benefit from hearing a customized version of this message? Can you think of someone that may be open-minded to investing in their team or in their annual event by bringing me in as speaker? If so, please encourage them to visit AlanSteinJr.com and fill out a speaking inquiry. I’d be honored to collaborate with them and co-create an impactful, meaningful, and memorable experience.What makes the best the best? Ultimately the best are where they are because of the mindset, habits, and rituals they have—both in their respective “arenas,” but also in private, during the unseen hours. Success isn’t something that happens to you. It's something you attract and you create. Successful people do the little things better than everyone else because they know all the big things arise from them. The highest performers in all walks of life have taken full ownership. They got to where they are and have stayed there because they have chosen to establish, tweak and repeat positive habits. They understand that you can’t be selective when it comes to excellence, that how we do anything is how we do everything.Sustain Your Game teaches you how to bring your A game to every area of your life. With advice from top CEOs, journalists, social scientists, and more, you'll learn the framework for how to beat stress, stagnation, and burnout. Sustain Your Game will help you be the best in your arena, wherever that may be.Sustain Your Game if available now at http://www.SustainYourGameBook.comPlease make sure to join the conversations at @AlanSteinJr on all major social platforms, go to AlanSteinJr.com to subscribe to my Game Changer monthly emails.Additionally, you can order the audiobook of Raise Your Game: High Performance Secrets from the Best of the Best at http://www.Audible.com or wherever audiobooks are sold.
