The Millionaire Mind written by Thomas J. Stanley, PhD surveyed 733 millionaires. They were asked to rate thirty success factors. A couple of factors that contributed to their success were (1) having extraordinary energy (2) being physically fit. Through the years I’ve been impressed by the work and family success of my clients. They were CEO’s, business owners, fortune 500 executives and top sales and marketing professionals.
Not only did they excel at their professions, they trained extremely hard in the gym. They ate better, stayed consistent in their cardiovascular exercises, burned through their strength training workouts and stayed extremely active performing in such sports as golf, racquetball, basketball, tennis and other sports.
Working out has many more benefits than just pure (vanity) what a person looks like. The many benefits improve your ability to perform daily work and home tasks and think more clearly.
I discovered these high performance beings were definitely on a different planet than people who do not stay physically active. They were energized, more focused, and mentally tougher. They took better care of themselves and realized that being physically active was key to increasing their capacity to cope better with stress.
Some of the most successful people have discovered that being fit not only adds to their looks but it’s also responsible for helping them perform at higher levels at work and home. Many people are smart, but most of people that stay active are living life with more vigor and able to accomplish their daily workloads / tasks easier. They are not only successful and smart, but tougher, fitter and the most disciplined of them all. http://cpc.benefituamerica.com/
