Sharpen Your Mind
To those who have either tired of the merry-go-round of mainstream marketing bullshit, or those who perhaps due to instinctual perceptiveness bypass this mass behavior, and seek material resonant for its message, rather than influenced because that is what so many others are or appear to be doing... |
I say when the wise speak, listen. I understand this is easier said than done, as your senses are cluttered with marketing claims of 'the best in the world', 'internationally renowned', 'gets results faster than anyone' and other usually self appointed adjectives aimed at creating the perception of greatness.
If you have followed my work long enough you would have realized that relative to this marketing largess engaged in by many, we say little and do a lot. That is our goal. Not only to under promise and over deliver, but to sacrifice short term gain on the marketing merry-go-round to indentify the truly committed , whose paths, journey and search has resulted in them knocking on the door of KSI. Rather than a red flashing light drawing the masses for short term visits and a quick emptying of the pockets.
That's my disclaimer. Now for the message.
It is rare when the wise speak, especially those consciously or otherwise influenced by Taoism. For at this level of consciousness, it is often considered that 'he who cannot do teaches';, or 'he who doesn't speak and he who speaks doesn't know'; or 'the loudest trumpet is often the emptiest vessel'. (In some cases in this industry it is difficult to deny these ancient wisdoms!)
For those who are ready to go beyond the BS of mainstream marketing -I am going to give you an opportunity to learn from a man who I describe as wise and who knows, by his ability to do, at the highest level. There are two parts to this statement.
Firstly. For those who are ready to go beyond the mainstream BS. I have learnt through my years of being a student and observer that it's easy to get attention. Stand on the sidewalk and look up and point at something in the sky. Someone will wonder what you are doing and do the same. The more that do this, the more feel they too should be doing this.
Anyone willing to talk crap, be sensationalist and use other techniques or claims to gain attention can taken advantage of this human nature. If you are still at that stage of discerning where this seems the way to go, you may not be ready. I speak to those who have either tired of the merry-go-round of mainstream marketing bullshit, or those who perhaps due to instinctual perceptiveness bypass this mass behavior, and seek material resonant for its message, rather than influenced because that is what so many others are or appear to be doing.
Secondly, you are constantly being told by excellent marketers in this industry about their greatness, so I choose my words carefully. I do not want to align or associate with this shallow, self-serving but highly seductive word selection. I will scrape by with this statement - I have been a student professional for nearly 3 decades and a student for life of performance in sport. I have worked with and achieved success with athletes at a volume and frequency few have the opportunity to do. I can spot the bullshit from the real deal. Enough said? (if I continue I fear I might get too revealing about the relationship between your perception of greatness as created by marketing, and actual competency based on historically measureable events...)
There are very few who seek excellence. Most seek to serve the ego, and this gets in the way of excellence. There is no correlation between marketing and competence. You will hear me say that time and time again. (So much so that I suspect my best imitator could be making this statement as their own in just a few months!)
The time has come to reveal that for the first time ever you can learn from a coach that has met my expectations and continues to work within and contribute to the way of KSI. His name is Mitchell Kochonda, and if you have not heard of him that's okay, because like I said...there is no correlation between marketing and competence...
He has chosen to share his wisdoms in a monthly audio series he has titled 'Sharpen Your Mind' commencing January 2010 and running for the 12 months of 2010. You can subscribe to this audio download either monthly or yearly. The monthly is recurring for the 12 issues unless cancelled, and the yearly subscription is a one off investment. We have created special KSI Forum Members and KSI Coaches / DTI member rates, which you will learn of by clicking on the appropriate links below.
The content is aimed to enlighten, educate and inspire you, and also give you insights into the thoughts of a person who has achieved the rare distinction of graduating from the KSI Coaching Program and being recommend by myself. That's a rare combination. The most common group are the 18 Month Information Age Black Belts (but more on this another day...). His continuous commitment to mastering the KSI way dates back more than 10 years.
The content of this audio series is, consistent with all KSI teachings, holistic. Not lip service holistic, like the industry writer who throws one line or one exercise in as a token demonstration of awareness. Truly holistic - physical preparation based, with equal attention in volume and quality to health, personal, professional, financial and business development.
Audios offer a medium of learning not shared by books, and is a learning tool that many of us do not exploit to the fullest. Driving in a car, travelling in any form by yourself, offers an excellent opportunity to immerse in auditory learning. A common cynical criticism at the need for repetitive exposure to personal development is rebuffed by Zig Ziglar who asks why the same criticism is not aimed at the need to wash the body daily!
This is your opportunity to place in your mind, and in your education library, a series of auditory sharing's from one of the truly wise and competent coaches, so rarely heard amongst the clutter of over-inflated mainstream marketing.

Mitchell - I loved the interview! For me, to hear all that I've studied from KSI stated from an experiential and practical point of view, the end user athlete, is a wonderful kickoff to your audio series. I've been absorbed in the abstract of theory quite long such that the concretes from your athlete in terms of results, before and after KSI, were very dramatic.
One thing grabbed me, Mitch, a 1 ½ hr. stretching session before lower body w/o? My KSI educated guess would be that was what this particular athlete needed at that particular time?
Looking forward to your series in the coming New Year, Mitchell.
