How Mental Strategies Became the Cornerstone of Everything I Share You may be aware of my accomplishments on the competitive stage but may wonder how I evolved into a “motivational bodybuilder” or “mental strength coach” who writes books, articles for magazines, and conducts seminars around the world. These unique titles and distinctions have come as a result of my love for bodybuilding and my commitment to becoming more efficient at educating others. I used to spend hours upon hours explaining bodybuilding strategies in the areas of training, nutrition, and supplementation—but had only limited success with the people I helped. It wasn’t that those people weren’t benefiting from my knowledge and efforts. I just felt every person I invested my time in had to follow through and actually achieve the results they told me they wanted. People being people, that was never going to happen! Very early in my career, I came to the conclusion that what made people successful at anything they did in life was their mindset—not any secret strategy or a “magic bullet” everyone seems to be looking for. When I thought about my own experiences, what made me successful in bodybuilding was an outstanding psychology. I thought like a champion and therefore became a champion. I found this way of thinking is universal among all people who are successful. It became apparent to me that even the very best strategy fueled by a poor way of thinking would produce only mediocre results—at best! On the other hand, a 1 Skip La Cour’s Thinking Big II mediocre strategy fortified with an outstanding way of thinking would produce results far better than anyone could ever imagine. Very early in my career, I came to the conclusion that what made people successful at anything they did in life was their mindset—not any secret strategy or a “magic bullet” everyone seems to be looking for. I decided I’d be dramatically more effective helping people make improvements to their bodies by focusing on getting them in the right state of mind—and then I would offer great training, nutrition, and supplementation strategies. The Tremendous Impact of My First Book, Thinking Big The frustration caused by being ineffective at helping people by my using only specific training, nutrition, and supplementation concepts was the driving force behind writing my first book, Thinking Big. This step-by-step workbook guides bodybuilders into setting goals and reevaluating limiting beliefs. It provides mental exercises that help make the process of bodybuilding a more enjoyable experience. Thinking Big helps bodybuilders identify what they want and helps them get what they want. Thinking Big was received with remarkable international approval. If fact, the book was nominated for Book of the Year by the Weider Awards. Here are only a few of the hundreds of letters I received about Thinking Big: “I received your book Thinking Big for my birthday and read it from cover to cover. Although you have already motivated me by your articles in Ironman, your book Thinking Big put me over the edge. If there were any doubts in my mind about my potential or my drive to become outstanding, that book put those thoughts to rest. Your book has helped put everything into focus for me and has given me the knowledge to become not only the best bodybuilder I can be, but also the best person I can be!” Marc Platt St. Clair Shores, MI “Your book, Thinking Big, is by far one of the best books on motivation. It really has helped me to understand how to motivate myself. After having listed my goals and all the compelling reasons along with the consequences, I can't wait to train. I am 43 years old and I have set some ambitious goals for myself. I only wish I had bought your book sooner!” Bert Hernandez Somerville, NJ 2
