Moroccan Magic!


We were then ready to fly to Casablanca where the poker tournament was held at the amazing Magazan resort, one of, if not the best resort I have ever been too! Jackstar and I are not resort type of people, but this resort had a casino, great gym & spa, amazing rooms and an unbelievable Gary Player designed championship golf course! 
Yeh, I think I was in heaven! And I was going to get the chance to play a poker tournament, something I love doing, but have only had the odd occasion to do so the past 4-5 years! 
This was a great chance for me to see how Jack was going to get treated by 888, as one of their global ambassadors, we were told she would be treated very well!
Well I'm not sure what very well means in other people's vocabulary, but I can honestly say that Jack was treated like royalty! 888 put on an amazing event, treating all their qualifiers and guests unbelievably well, with other ambassadors Sam Holden, Russell Thomas & Nico Villa-Lobos being there to enjoy the event as well! It was great for both Jack and I to meet and get to know the other Team888 ambassadors as we are going to spending a bit of time with these guys at future events. The good news is we had a blast with all of them! A great group of people that I know we will have an enormous amount of fun with in the future! 
After spending a day at the resort to chill out, Sam and I got out and played some golf! The golf course was amazing and an awesome warm up for the start of the poker tournament, where each ambassador had a $250 bounty on their heads! I was hoping to be seated atone if their tables, unlikely as their we're approx 12 tables and only 4 ambassadors! 
BANG! I found myself seated on Nico's table and it doesn't take us long to have some fun, with me showing him a bluff or 2 and just generally enjoying playingmn each others table! 
The event was played in great spirits amongst all the players, event though there was a $10,000 AUD 1st prize! A credit to 888Poker and how they separate themselves from other poker sites! 
To the surprise of most, even though I was sprouting my mouth off to the others that I was 
going to win this thing, I begun to build one of the biggest stacks in the room. With a nice mix of good cards and good play, I began to dominate my table. At one point Nico saying it was 3-0 to me in heads up hands, but for some reason I could see he had plans on making a comeback!
With 95 players starting the day, paying the Top 17 and play stopping for the day when they reached the final 9 players, play began to get fast as the structure made players stack shallower
 and shallower. We lost Russell and Jackstar just before dinner, with Sam, Nico and myself all heading to dinner with a chance to make the final table!

After some friendly banter at dinner, we all headed back ready to make a deep run! At the end 
of the day, it was great to see that Sam, Nico and I had made the final table, with Nico and I chip leaders with a decent distance between 3rd stack! I had so much fun playing and it was great to feel like I feel into the role of the player quiet quickly, surprising myself how well I played and how I felt like I actually knew what I should in just about all spots during eye day!
I was super excited to go back the next day for the final table! 

The action was pretty quick and fast on the final table, with some short stacks needing to gamble early and before I knew it, we were down to the last 4! Crazily I was one of those final four and both Sam & Nico were still in, which made the event that much more fun I could go deep with some new friends!
Before I knew, I knocked Sam out in 4th to get his Bounty and Nico knocked out 3rd place and we were now heads up!
As we started the heads up match, Nico looked at me and said " From the start"! We played 
our very 1st  hand of the tournament together and we were going to play our very last hand of the tournament together, pretty damn kool I reckon!
After a great heads up match that went for over half an hour, Nico's A 
s10d held up against my shove of 6h4h and ended up taking the title and possible revenge for me getting off to a 3-0 start on our first table!:)

Finishing 2nd in this event was an amazing way to start, cashing for $6.5AUD and having some extra spending money for the trip, which will be awesome as we are planning on mixing some great work with Jackstars poker and my writing mental performance program's, with some great play time in the UK & Europe!

Next Stop- Marrakech:)

Europe, here we come!


With Jackstars new sponsorship with 888Poker requiring her to travel to more events as one of their ambassadors, it is now a perfect time for me to focus on trying to take a large portion of my business online. 
One of my goals with Dare2Dream has always been to try and bring mental performance information to as many people as I can, in a practical and easy to implement way. With travelling already being a large part of our life, being able to take my business online is a huge priority at the moment and allows me to travel with Jackstar on the poker circuit, while at the same time access my work from anywhere in the world.
The past 12 months I have been writing some mental performance program's for a mate's company, Leap Learning that specialises in training for the unemployed. With the Leap software being one of the best educational software's going around and the generosity of my mate, this would be an awesome platform to create Dare2Dream mental performance program's. 
At present I am in the process of continuing to write content for both Leap & Dare2Dream on topics such as Goal Setting, Anger Management, Anxiety Management, Focus and the list goes on. 
I am currently sitting on a plane, flying from Marrakech to Madrid-Yeh Amazing Right!!
We are 1 week into an 8 week trip of the UK & Europe, which is something we have wanted to do since our 1st trip overseas together over 20 years ago! Jackstar being a poker pro & now an ambassador for Team888, has given us an amazing opportunity to see parts of the world on our "Wish List". So a little over 5 weeks ago we begun to plan out trip for the World Series of Poker Europe, which would be Jackstars 1st official tournament as part of Team888. Looking at the poker schedule, there was EPT (European Poker Tour) LONDON scheduled the week before WSOPE, so we made plans fly into London on the 28th September for a few days of acclimatisation before Jackstar hit the tables.

Well that was the plan!! We booked flights and accommodation and we were all ready to go, until we got a MSG from Jen from 888 asking whether we were coming to Morocco? Morocco has been a place that Jackstar and I having wanted to go to so badly, but never trout we wold get the opportunity! So when Jen asked us to come for a 888Poker event, we simply just had to go!! This meant leaving Australia 11 days earlier, turning this trip from a 6 week adventure to an 8 week adventure! The longest trip we have ever had away from home.  But we just had to go, so we changed our flights and begun to arrange our trip to Casablanca Morocco for the 888Poker event.


We flew into London and spent 1 night in the beautiful SoHo area, visiting the usual places like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Shopping on Oxford St and the London Eye, where Jackstar had played a poker tournament representing Australia a few years back.
To say the least, I fell in love with London straight away!! The beautiful old buildings, the cosmopolitan city just swept me off my feet! To think this time 12 months ago, I was told I needed to have surgery to remove half my kidney with a 50% chance it was cancerous, to say I was grateful was a massive understatement!! Even though we were only in London for approx 30hrs, it had a massive impact on me that's for sure! When the word "Cancer" is brought up in relation to your own health, the impact it can have on you is crazy! I can safely say, it hit me like I could never have imagined! 
So walking the streets of London with the most amazing person in the world, brought me to tears many a times!








                                                      Love Whole Foods in SoHo!

The Magic is Within!

As I mentioned in my previous blog, over the past 6 months I have felt that I had lost control in a lot of areas of my life! In June, my wife and I headed off to the US for our yearly trip to the World Series of Poker, where Jackstar puts her skills to the test for the ultimate prize in all of poker, a WSOP Bracelet.

The first thing I began to focus on in trying to gain back my focus, motivation and drive to become my absolute best was to start cleaning out all the things in my life that I thought were either weighing me down or that I was not getting any value from. We often spend so much time and energy on things in our life that actually don't bring enough value to our lives to make it worth our while, but we don't seem to take this into account. Whether it is actually focusing our energy with certain people in our life or focusing on an aspect professionally, we always need to think about what is the cost & subsequent rewards for what we are focusing on.

When I went through looking at all the areas in my life where I spend my time and energy, I realised that very little of this time was actually having a productive time on MY life! Yeh, I was having a productive time on other people's life, which I love and value greatly, but if it is to the detriment of my life or my well being, then that is not a healthy situation for anyone.

So I began to strip everything back to the core and make a list of 2 or 3 things that I felt I needed to focus on to help me get back to my mental best. I then placed everything else on the shelf for a little while until I felt I had total control over those 2 or 3 areas of my life that were crucial to my balance and happiness. One thing I realised again and that I have been telling my clients for many years, that happiness and success begins when we focus on ourselves and what is on the inside.

I must admit, when I was able to focus all my energy and attention on those important 2 or 3 areas in my life, even I was surprised at the ripple effect. So many areas of my life began to just settle, with the level of focus I felt and just the overall "Ssshhhh"ing of the mind helping me achieve positive momentum towards the things in my life that are most important.

One exercise I began to implement each few days was a gratitude journal. Writing down 3-5 things in my life that I was grateful for, really helped me to balance out the negative critique that someone that has always been a perfectionist, inevitably has on themselves. This gratitude journal again accelerated the positive momentum I was experiencing and allowed me to stay on track to getting myself back on track mentally and work towards achieving a happier, more balanced self.

Over the past few months, I have kept things pretty simple and have really created a great foundation to build from, which is a crucial to have that foundation in place before you add any other processes into the mix.

Next blog I will discuss the next process I added to help take my mental health/performance to the next level and hope you all are thinking about de cluttering your life and just focusing on a few key areas that make up your happiness and success!:)

Life is full of Surprises!

I haven't blogged for over 6 months and thought it was a great time to get back blogging, not necessarily for you guys, but for me! Blogging for me helps me to consciously think about what specific mental performance components I need to not only discuss, but also put into practise myself. Since my surgery late in 2012 to remove half my kidney as it was being rented out but a possible cancerous cyst (luckily it was benign) as well as trying to get over my back injury, you could say life has been teaching me some of its BIGGER lessons.

One lesson I learnt is that if you stop focusing on strengthening a specific area of your life, over time it will become weaker. I used to pride myself on practising what I preach, pushing my mind to reach new heights and experience new levels in the wide variety of areas that make up mental performance. Unfortunately, I can say that over the past 12 months or so I have lost focus on strengthening my own mind and pushing myself to see what the human mind is possible of and it has showed!

But the great thing is, all the things I have been through the past 12 months that have literally turned my life upside down have given me new focus, motivation and inspiration to firstly become the very best person I can be and secondly, become the best mental performance coach possible.

I will be using this blog to help me stay on track and give everyone a little insight into what I will be doing to help me stay on the path of improvement. I can say that I haven't felt this excited and motivated about all things in life- Love, Family, Friends, Health, Travel, Hobbies & Dare2Dream than I ever have before!

The next blog will touch on the whirlwind past few months since my amazing wife made a deep run in the World Series of Poker Main Event, finishing 31st out of over 6300 players. This awesome achievement resulting in her become an 888Poker Ambassador which is something that she has been working so hard for over the past 4 years as a poker professional.

888Poker seem like a perfect fit for Jack as they want her to travel and represent 888Poker in events played all over the world! Obviously, she will need a mental performance coach, security guard, lover and best friend to be there with her;)

Thanks for reading and I look forward to blogging at least once a week to help me achieve my absolute best in every aspect of life!:)

Take Out The Trash!

Well its been a few months since I have written a blog but thought it was a great time to write something as the past few months have re taught me some great lessons. Since being diagnosed with a Bosniac Type 3 cyst in my right kidney that could be cancerous, as well as having a back injury that stopped all physical activity, my mind began to switch and function in a totally different way.
Its not the first time in my life it has functioned this way and over the past 5-7 years, I have prided myself on creating an empowering mindset and attitude everyday, but this injury and kidney cyst showed me that over the past few years, my mind had begun to get weaker and I wasn't aware of it.

I spend everyday working with high achievers from a variety of industries and had lost attention to strengthening my own mind and making sure that it was functioning at its absolute best, no matter what! The day I heard the word "Cancer" was when I began to get proactive at strengthening my mind and to say I experienced the benefits straight away would be an understatement. A few days after being told the cyst could be 70% cancerous, my mind began to let go of all the insignificant things that we hold onto or get swept up in on a daily basis. As the title of this blog says, I began to take out the trash! The trash in my own head, all the worries and fears of what might happen to me as well as all the unproductive things our minds seems to store on a daily basis. This trash was holding me back from focusing on the things that were the most important to me, things that I hold as a priority in my life. When we have trash building up in our mind, we make focusing an impossible task! Focus is s state of clarity, a mind that has trash floating around will hold you back from ever achieving any decent level of focus, which then holds you back from ever achieving anything that is remotely close to what you are capable of!

So the past few months, I prepared for surgery by enjoying every moment of the day, being attentive to what I was doing RIGHT NOW! To help me take out the trash, I began to write down a list of things that I had 100% control over. When you are preparing for an important surgery, a lot of the trash that was building up in my head were things I had NO control over, which is nearly always the case. Once I wrote these things down I knew I needed to imprint these things in the front of my mind, so I began a process of fixated visualisation, where I would stare at each one of these things form 1min each, just imprinting them clearly at the front of my mind.

I then began to write down a list of processes for each one, that would clarify to me the specific daily tasks that I needed to focus on, to ensure that I was taking out the trash! After approximately 10 days of focusing on these tasks and making these a priority in my life, I began to feel like I could achieve anything and heading into surgery, I was calm and confident that I could deal with whatever was going to happen.

Now, a few months after surgery and a month into the new year, my health is getting back on track with my back injury improving everyday. I have set some great goals for 2013 and created a Dream Team around me to help one another achieve their goals for 2013. Starting in February is my assault on eliminating sugar from my eating habits, which is going to be tough seeing I am a chocoholic, but I love a challenge!

I hope you have started 2013 with a bang and I would recommend trying to become aware of whether or not you have any neural trash to begin taking out! If you can begin to take out some of the trash in your head, I guarantee you will begin to eliminate some of those negative emotional states and replace them with more empowering, productive emotional states that will help you achieve everything you want out of 2013- AND MORE!!

Slow Down Turbo! Whats The Rush?

Hi All, it has been a while since I have blogged but I thought it would be a perfect time to get back on the Blog Wagon. Since my previous blog where I was beginning my rehab process since my back injury in Vegas, there has been some amazing things happen in my life and just when I began to think I couldnt look at life in a better light, something always seems to pop up that makes me appreciate EVERYTHING life has to offer.
A few months after my 1st back injury and resulting surgery 11 years ago, thinking I was on my way to a full recovery, I woke one morning to lose the use of my whole right side of my body. I coudlnt talk properly, I couldnt sign my name as I had no control over my hand and my right leg would give way every now and then. Obviously worried, I went to the doctor's who ordered a brain scan, obviously this scared the living shit out of me. Luckily for me, spending the previous 15 months lying on the ground with my back injury had trained me to have a solution focused mindset and attitude, as opposed to worrying about the problems that might be there. The scan came back and showed what is called a demyelination on the brain, or in other words, a spot on the brain. This spot could either be a one off spot or the onset of MS, being ordered to have further scans 3 months and again 12 months later, to ensure that this was just a one off spot, luckily for me at that stage it remained as one spot, with no new spots appearing.
Im not sure what it is with me and scary health problems while recovering from a back injury, but  this time proved to be another scary moment health wise for me but at the same time, possibly one of the luckiest days of my life!
A few weeks back in early October, I had an appointment with my surgeon to see what was actually happening with my back, as I was still in a lot of pain and extremely limited in regards to what I could do. I was lucky to walk 10-15m without having to stop and stretch or kneel down to help release some of the pain. I was ordered to have a cat scan to see what damage there was to my back, no drama as I have had approx 8 cat scans for my back in the past, but this scan would end up being the most important scan I might ever have!
The scan showed a small cyst in my kidney, not related to my back injury at all, but they could see a small cyst type growth in the lower portion of my right kidney. Seeing my back pain was causing me a lot of grief, I had that as the number one priority, but when I went to see the doctor a few days later, she ordered me to have a Ultrasound on the kidney to see exactly what it was.
Well the news wasn't great, as they found what is called a Type 3 Bosniac Cyst slightly larger than a golf ball filling the entire bottom portion of my right kidney. I was told I had a 50% chance that the cycst is cancerous and I was extremely lucky to have caught this thing so early. The type of cancer it could be is a slow growing, slow spreading cancer but to think it was sitting there like a ticking time bomb in my kidney with no signs at all, was just crazy!! That fateful day in Vegas where I had the golf cart accident that triggered the back injury, could be a life saving incident that I will look at as the luckiest day of my life!
The Urologist ordered me to have another scan where they inject me with dye so they can see the make up of the cyst to give them a little more insight into what they are up against and the results of this scan was fantastic, with the cyst being downgraded to a Bosniac Type 2F, lowereing it to 25% cancerous. So the next step is having surgery to remove the bottom half of my right kidney and take out the entire cyst and any part of the kidney that might have traces of the cyst. There is a small chance that they will need to take out the entire kidney, but at this stage I go in for surgery on the 21st of November to get half my right kidney removed.
It is has been a really weird feeling knowing there was something that could have been life threatening, growing inside me, causing me no drama's at all. My back injury is still extremely painful and debilitating, but pales in significance to what I could have been dealing with. I received a cortisone injection in my spine 3 weeks ago to help reduce the pain and inflammation, with no real success, so I am headed back to my surgeon next Monday to possibly get another cortisone injection so I can try and be pain free for my kidney operation.
So you could say it has been an interesting few months but I can say one thing, the impact that this experience has had on my outlook to life and the people that are in  it, has been so profound I would never change a thing!! The upcoming surgery is going to be a costly event, but for how it has helped me to appreciate the smaller things in life, it will be worth every cent.
I have always felt, with the help of my initial back injury, that my outlook on life and my perspective has always been pretty good, but when all of a sudden you are dealing with the "Cancer" word and the not knowing of what it can or will do to you, you look at things like never before.
I recall driving back from the Gym a few weeks ago, just looking at the blue sky and the tree's on the nature strip, just thinking how beautiful they are, I then began to take notice of a lot more things around me. For most of us, we live life in the fast lane and rarely stop to take notice of the beauty that surrounds us. Whether it be a smile on a random person's face, a total stranger doing a good deed for another stranger, life is full of amazing events that go on all around us EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY! So this has really taught me to slow down and appreciate the smaller things in life!! It also taught me how valuable it is to have a mind that is totally focused on solutions and not problems. I was lucky enough to ingrain this years ago in regards to a lot of smaller, perceived unimportant components of my life, but I knew if that foundation was solidly built in those areas, if I ever faced a larger more daunting situation, my mind would automatically click into solution mode. This was such a massive help in dealing with my situation the past few months, together with the smazing support of my wife, who during times like this just astound's me at how amazing she is and how damn lucky I am!!
Also the massive support I have been shown by an enormous amount of friends and acquaintances, some of whom I have never met, was such an uplifting experience and I want to thank all those people that sent me kind messages of support, it will never be forgotten!!
I will end this blog with a few recommendations, live your life for 1 week as if you were told you had cancer and see if you see life in a different way and secondly, try and begin to create a solution focused mindset for all things in your life. The smaller aspects in your life where you could be focused on the problem, try and create a solution focused mindset for all those small issues and begin to see what impact it might have on your life.
For me, these 2 components of how I have functioned the past few months have been the most amazing assets I could have, and I hope you all get a chance to experience them in the near future!!

Isolated Focus! Powerful Shit!

As some of you may know, while I was in Vegas I injured my back in a golf cart accident. The title of this blog is called "Isolated Focus", not for the reason that if either myself or Claus had have had Isolated Focus while in the golf cart, but because what I experienced the other morning at Gym.
The past 3-4 weeks since the accident, my back has been giving me some pretty scary flash backs to what I experienced 10 years when I ruptured 2 discs in the my lower back. I was told back then that I would walk with a walking stick and possibly be in a wheelchair, those memories and experiences of lying on the ground for 15mths came flooding back into my mind.
As you imagine, the state of mind that these type of thoughts patterns were going to place me in were never going to be empowering, but as I was in the US and Jackie had just had her career best result in poker, I think the adrenalin was allowing me to distract my mind enough to deal with it all.
The first week we got back from the US, I spent the week seeing the Physio,  trying to rest and spend as much time with Jackie before she went off on a girls trip to Bali for 10 days with her best friend, Kaz.
Luckily for me I had my Dad stay with me for a few days, which was great company but also such a great help around the house, as there were days there that made it tough to do any daily chores, I couldn't imagine the condition the house would have been in if he wasn't there to help out so much!! LEGEND!!
Once Dad had left, I found the next few days really tough, both physically and mentally, as my back started to flare up again and give me more grief that it had been. This was when a lot of those flash backs started to come back and began to take over my state of mind a whole lot more than I would like!!
The great thing about these flash backs, was that it took me back to a time that I realised how strong my mind (Our Minds) can really be, as I recalled training my mind during the 15mths of lying on my back like I had never trained it before.
One of the most important things for me during that 15mths was too train my mind completely on the HERE & NOW! Where am I and what can I do RIGHT NOW that is going to help me get back to full health?
This is where I first began to understand the power of 2 things-
1. Micro Steps.
2. Isolated Focus.

Micro steps where such a powerful thing for me as some days, my goal for the day was to get from my bed to lounge floor so I can lie down to eat breakfast. As you could imagine, truly a Micro Goal! This was one of the hardest things for me to understand as being an elite athlete and chasing a career as a Pro Golfer, I had always set such high goals. It was during this time, that in my process of trying to achieve such high goals, I had unconsciously set myself up for failure more times that my mind could handle. When we set a goal, no matter how Micro it might be, when we achieve it there is a certain sense of pride and confidence that helps empower us, the opposite goes for when we fail to achieve a goal. Unfortunately one part of human nature that has a negative impact on this is our impatience. Like any strong foundation, it needs to built from the ground up, the first levels of the foundation needing to be the strongest as they are the one's that hold the most weight! So for me again, just like 10 yrs ago, I am focused on Micro Steps to get my back in great shape, so I can get back to living the lifestyle I love!

                                                       
                           1st Micro Goal- Walk on tready for 10min at 3KM/H! Gold Medal:)

The other component that I built so well many years ago was my ability to create what I call "Isolated Focus". Isolated Focus is just what is sounds like, focusing on 1 thing at a time and 1 thing only! For me, I triggered this process again a few days after achieving my first Micro Goal above. I woke one morning at approx 5am in some decent pain. I lied in bed for about 30-45mins trying to figure out how to deal with it. Obviously I thought, lets just go and get some pain killers and stay rested in bed, that's the best thing!! So I lied in bed for approximately another 5mins before I realised that the conversation in my head was being controlled by my Self 2, the negative person inside ALL of us. I then asked myself, if my Self 1 was controlling to conversation, what we he be saying?
Well when I asked that question and came up with the answer, I decided to pull myself out of bed, have some breakfast and get to the Gym to start my daily rehab! Easy!!
Well all I can say, like most things in our life, sometimes the hardest and most painful things we have to face, make us stronger. It took me twice as long to get breakfast and get to the Gym, hobbling like a cripple and barely being able to walk at 1KM/H on that darn treadmill! I was in so much pain that I began to get hot sweats and it was at this point that I realised I needed to practise the Isolated Focus, as my mind was running around in circles with thousands of thoughts and outcomes, not many of them pretty!!
So I asked myself the same series of questions I did over 10years ago-
Where am I and what can I do RIGHT NOW that is going to help me get back to full health?

I knew the treadmill was the Micro Step, so I begun to clear mind or what I say, take out the trash. As soon as I was able to take out all the trash & clear my mind, I began to Isolate my focus and attention on my lower back. With every step, focusing on feeling the lower back move a little more freely with every step. I focused on this and this only, feeling strong through the core and being totally fixated on freeing up my lower back. Well even I was surprised at how great my back felt within 10mins. At that point, I realised that although I am currently going through physical rehab, I also need to focus on using my mind in a lot more empowering way. Even though I train people everyday about Mental Performance, I pride myself on being able to practise the same techniques and strategies I ask of my clients. I can honestly say that this past week, even though I haver had some rough patches, my mind has helped me and showed me once again how powerful it can be when Isolated to Focus on 1 thing at a time.
My next Micro step was achieved a few days later, being able to bend forward and touch my knee caps, now every few days I can see another Micro step being achieved and the positive momentum I have created the past 3 days has put me in such a great state of mind that I know it wont be too long before I am back to 100% health. It will take as long as it takes and not a day before and I am completely patient and focused and allowing that to happen.

So, the 2 key messages in this Blog are-
1. Be careful when setting goals that you dont skip the Micro stages, as they are the foundation builders. Start with small Micro Goals that will in time lead you to your ultimate goal.
2. Begin to clear your mind and allow it to focus on the 1 small thing you are doing RIGHT NOW! Isolated Focus is one of the most powerful ways to use the mind, so take out the trash and get ISOLATED!

                                     

             Focusing on 1 Micro Step at a time with Isolated Focus, you can ACHIEVE ANYTHING!!
