by George Purdy

It’s hard to understand why some people enjoy more success than others. There is no one reason for this phenomenon. For centuries, there has been a group of people that have been able to find a niche for themselves. Today’s fast-paced environment means that to succeed a person must have an edge over others. To achieve your goals, you will have to work hard and also work smart.

Go to any library or bookstore, and you will discover shelves of texts, each promising a “surefire” method to succeed. These texts each have their place, and have aided some individuals. However, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of so called “book learning.” It is always better to have a real human who can react to you and your issues in real time.

It is very important to have a mentor in life. It is a fact that can not be ignored. There are many stories of great rulers who became successful because of their mentors. Therefore, to become successful in any area, it is necessary to have a personal coach. You need a person who will show you your faults and weaknesses and then guide you to remove them.

Let us take the example of Bodybuilding. It needs rigorous training and a strong motivation. You will find information about many exercises and techniques for muscle building on many websites. But it is not same as having personal coaching. Personal coaching in muscle building is more effective than other tools and techniques. Similarly, personal coaching is extremely useful in business for a person to be successful

Self confidence, force of will, and plain old determination are all vitally important for you to succeed. But what if you want to quickly excel, say in your education or career? If you need rapid results, then what you are looking for is personal coaching. Personal coaching is a good, fast path to quickly becoming a skilled professional at whatever you may do.

Successful software applications companies require individuals who possess certain skills. Some of these skills are essential to engineering and managerial duties, which are key components of growing software organizations. Personal coaching is integral to increasing a company’s productivity, because they are well-positioned to assist an individual to identify his or her weaknesses and turn these into areas of personal strength.

A personal coach can help people succeed in almost any field. Your mentor can identify your weaknesses and help you work on them. Personal coaching can help provide the motivation you would need. In virtually any endeavor, even in the business world, personal coaches can help you to excel. Determination, will-power, confidence, and motivation are undoubtedly important for success. However, if you want quick results (as far as your education or career is concerned), you should consider working with a good personal coach to help you become a confident, skilled professional.

The Roid Rage”Past and Present (Part 1)

by Mick Hart

I have ‘Rhoid’ rage, This time its haemorrhoids, that’s right, bodybuilding is becoming a pain in the ass. It seems like almost every b.b journal I browse through of late, carries articles and letters concerned with physique standards and professional contests judging results.

I have been around the bodybuilding scene for many years now and have experienced a number of changes at competition level. There is no doubt in my mind that the standards have hit new levels for everyone concerned in an event and that the evolution of my sport continues and that the results seen will always get better.

Although always having a private opinion as to who should or should not have won or been placed. Despite suggestions and offers, I have never had either the conviction or more important the courage to judge others.

Thus the following notes are in no way a criticism of those braver souls whom set themselves up as easy targets when they sit on judging panels, the results of which can make or break physique careers in the competitive jungle of the body beautiful, with all its commercial offspring’s. Advertising, sponsorships, film careers even FAME.

The actual amount of bodybuilders that just train with the intention of competing in physique contests is very minimal as the majority of weight trainers out there will be concentrating on rehab, increased strength for their chosen sport, gaining or losing weight and just good old muscle gains.

Few are like Arnold, who reputedly intended from his first squat and dead lift, to become a bodybuilding champion. For most weight trainers, physique contests as such, are something that goes on in the background, that takes up perhaps too much space in the muscle mags, and possibly an event they may attend just once in a while, usually locally to support a fellow gym member, or nationally to see in the flesh some legendary bodybuilder they have seen in the journals. Almost every gym has its own local hero whom most guys agree should at least enter, if not win the area ‘Mr Muscles on a Cake’ award or even national fame. (Coming Soon Part 2)
