What does Bodie Miller Have to Do with Your Success?
What does Bodie Miller Have to Do with Your Success?
But something happened to Bodie along the way. And he let it slip in an interview.
Sometimes when you love what you do so much and are really good at it, you will be fortunate enough to build a business around it and rake in the dough. It’s like the world is your oyster and you are untouchable. Everything you touch turns to gold.
And then IT happens.
That sinking feeling. It’s the feeling that even though everything is going right something is VERY, VERY wrong. And slowly, the realization creeps into your awareness. Managing the business is getting in the way of doing what you love. You rant and rave to your friends (or your coach) that even though you LOVE coaching, consulting, teaching, (or whatever it is) that you are just fed up and exhausted with everything it takes to make it happen.
Bodie Miller is realizing that at the top of his game, he has to put up with the cameras, the advertising ‘suits’, the pressure of doing everything ‘right.’ The business of skiing got in the way of Bodie’s joy.
Now IT has cost him the gold medal because...
Bodie lost his inner game.
In an interview shown at the Olympics, Bodie stated that he wasn’t sure he should really be at the Olympics. The minute doubt creeps in, and it is left unchecked, your inner gremlins are unleashed to sabotage your success. Ultimately Bodie made a series of decisions (changing his skis at the last minute, doing overly risky tricks, and not checking the slope before his final race) that contributed to missing the Gold medal.
What beliefs do you have that could be undermining your success?
Here are some of the beliefs I often hear;
- I'm afraid of what could happen if I get successful
- What if I can't handle it
- Do I really deserve it
- What if it gets taken away
- I might have to work really hard to sustain it
- I could lose my freedom
- What if I'm not good at it
My friend James Malinchak, of College Speaking Success Bootcamp, told a story on my Real Life Breakthrough Interview Series about when, at the height of his speaking success, he began to sabotage his success by almost missing flights. When he realized that he loved speaking but he had built a business that kept him from living his ideal lifestyle, he made some rapid shifts to get back in the game.
So what can you do to get back in your game? Handle those inner demons quickly! But how you might ask? I’ll let you in on a little secret…
Affirmations work a little bit.
Making the decision to do things differently helps a lot.
The most life changing step you can take is to participate in a process called NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming.) It is one of the most advanced coaching techniques in the world and once I did it for myself, I catapulted out of struggle and blockage into a six figure business in just under nine months.
Whatever you do, I can guarantee you that doing nothing will guarantee you will stay EXACTLY where you are today. It's time to take action and get your inner game cleaned up so you can be on fire!

Bodie Miller is at the top of his game. The guy is an AWESOME skier, his face has been plastered on major magazine covers, a Nike commercial features him skiing, and he is on the USA Olympic team. To those of us on the outside, Bodie Miller is at the top of his game – right?

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
