Episode 199 – Tony Leake – Mental Toughness…

Get Your Vision Right To Develop Your Mental Toughness with Tony Leake Getting your vision down on paper and seeing it will help you understand it and cultivate your mental toughness toward its fulfilment. Writing solidifies what you really want to have as a business, and once you know what it is that you want, you will be able to operate in a place of creativity. On the flip side, presenting your vision in your head will always keep it in long rambling stories that give you a leeway to chase headless chickens when opportunities present themselves. Learn how to get your vision and mission on paper in simple ways that are in front of you to set realistic goals and avoid procrastination. Goals are the key to progress, and putting your vision on paper will help you create the right strategy to achieve them. However, when you don’t achieve what you want, it doesn’t mean that you failed or your goal is wrong. It means you need to try a different strategy. So go for it! Join the conversation with Tony Leake as he shares his journey and strategies to help you build your vision’s mental toughness. Tony designs and delivers bespoke coaching programmes that help people achieve more in life and business. His philosophy is very simple. Get the thinking right, and everything else takes care of itself. Your thinking drives your actions, and your actions create your success. Tony mostly works 1 on 1 but occasionally with groups. Most of his clients are business owners or senior professionals, and he has also run large-scale training and coaching programmes for corporate clients. Outside of work, Tony is a family man and enjoys spending time at home with them. He likes to challenge himself with fitness goals and will be completing his 2nd triathlon very soon. Apart from that, there is nothing he enjoys more than making loud noises with electric guitars. He plays in a couple of bands with some good friends, and you can often hear them playing in local pubs and clubs. TUNE IN!
