It was 1pm and I was a bit tired, so I was channel surfing and wouldn't have minded if I just fell asleep for trip.

But as I was surfing, I came across ESPN, sports network, and they were having finals of a bowling tournament.

I'm not a huge bowling fan, I do try to 'hit lanes' once or twice a year, but I caught end of an interview with one of bowlers and it got my attention.

Here's why.

He was talking about how important staying focused and having a positive attitude is, but then he said something that I know to be so helpful.

I call them, S.R.P.'s.

S.R.P. stands for ‘Success Reference Points.’

Here's what he said:

He said that he thinks about a time in past when he was bowling and 'on fire', and he was doing great.

He puts himself back in that mindset.

What was he saying to himself?

How was he standing, how was his posture?

He even watched old bowling videos of him doing great.

We all have moments in our past that we can REMEMBER and use in PRESENT.

In Arnold Schwarzenegger’s biography, he talks about using this same principle to quickly help him succeed.

Ask yourself:

After a three-month implementation, Enerfab went live with Encompix on October 19, 2004. Moving from a "green screen" system to Encompix was a big change for Sharonville, Ohio, firm. "We were very impressed with inventory and purchasing functionality and by eliminating duplicate data entry we have cut our purchasing time by half," said Dave Lutz, IT Director.

Enerfab has over 2,600 employees in 10 locations and plans to increase its use of Encompix. "We are looking at expanding our use of Encompix into other areas of business and are planning to bring on our Spare Parts Division in a couple of months."
