Great interview by Dr. Fab Mancini - We discuss stress, anxiety, depression and lack of purpose in life (post pandemic) and follow up with the solution, known as the IZOD Method™. Check it out!
Dr. Mike explains the 3 phases in detail...more info below!
You know those days where everything just goes right? You deliver that killer presentation at work, knock out a thousand words or lines of code effortlessly, and crush your sales goals? And after it’s all said and done, you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror…smiling. You recognize this person but it’s not just you, it’s the best version of you, firing on all cylinders. What if that could be you every day? What if you could be at your best, bringing your A-game, on demand when you needed to? It’s possible with The IZOD Method™.
WHAT IS THE IZOD METHOD™?
That experience described above is called “being in the zone”. Most of us have experienced it at some point in our life, but it was merely by chance or accident.
WHAT IF I showed you HOW to reproduce that state of mind, the “being in the zone”, on demand?
WHAT IF I coached you HOW to bring your A-game, each time, and crush your competition?
WHAT IF I mentor you and teach you the skill of WINNING? Taking the UNFAIR ADVANTAGE?
Well, I CAN. I developed the IZOD method and I’m sure you have been wondering what IZOD stands for.
IZOD is an acronym for:
In the Zone On Demand.
The IZOD Method can be used by anyone, including entrepreneurs, Silicon-valley CEOs, Top athletes, John Doe, or anyone wanting to perform at their highest potential. When you master the IZOD Method, you will be able to bring your A-game, on demand. You will be winner, period.
The IZOD Method is a recipe for a BIG WIN, on demand, and consists of 3 distinctive phases, customized for each client.
PHASE 1 – FOUNDATION (POL and C&C)
To perform at your highest potential, we need to assure that the foundation is in place. What is your purpose of life (POL)? What is your passion? Do you get excited and feel fire in your stomach thinking about accomplishing your dreams and goals?
Let’s make sure and confirm that your current POL is indeed your POL. This sets the stage and is the foundation for winning on demand. Without fire and passion, you never will perform at your highest potential, period.
When you find your POL, obstacles simply become steppingstones and opportunities to get you closer to the success you desire. Your focus sharpens, your drive becomes relentless, and you wake up wanting to get things done.
Next, we must create CONTROL and CLARITY (C&C). You take control of your life (versus being controlled) and we need to start preparing for the BIG WIN. We get organized. Control creates clarity about your vision, your mission, and your path.
PHASE 2 – EXECUTION (Plan and Strategize)
Whether your dream is to solve poverty in the world, want to bring a new invention to market, monopolize your marketplace, crush your competition, create a masterpiece of art, land a recording contract, publish a bestselling book, speak in front of 5000 people and kill your presentation, win a competition or tournament, become an Olympic Champion or World Record holder, graduate first of your class, regain control of your health, find inner peace, or simply perform at your highest potential, you need a Plan and Strategy. Without a plan, nothing significant comes to fruition.
You don’t need to know all the details of your plan, nor do you need to know all the HOW TO’s either. You simply need to write down the WHATs in a business plan format. Don’t worry about the details or the HOW TOs as they will fall into place as we move forward and as we assemble a team of experts or people we need.
As part of our plan and strategy, we will identify your strengths and weaknesses and start a list of people (titles first, then names) we need on our Team of Experts to assure success.
The last part of our plan is to implement IZOD strategies. These strategies are custom and serve only you in your journey to master the IZOD Method. Examples include strategies to eliminate distraction, maximize focus, avoid procrastination, maximize productivity, free up valuable time, omit stress, control your life and your calendar, stop projects and activities that you don’t like and don’t serve your POL, etc. Together, we customize, implement, and revise these IZOD strategies until your life is 100% clear.
PHASE 3 – BIOHACKING (Body & Brain)
Step 1: Beyond Optimal Health
No matter who you are or what your POL, dreams, and goals are, one cannot perform at maximum potential when not in optimal health.
We assess what phase your health currently is in, and then coach and guide you to optimal health and beyond. Only then will your superhuman superpowers be revealed and will you perform at your highest potential.
First, you need to regain control of your health by restoring balance, resolving pain and medical issues, and getting back to "normal".
Next, you need to implement strategies and lifestyle modifications to optimize your health so you can be fit, strong, and vital. You are now in control of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Optimal health then would be the ideal foundation to maximize the benefits of biohacking strategies and technologies, reversing your biological age objectively, and becoming superhuman. Science fiction has become science fact, and everyone can take the unfair advantage. I will show you HOW!
Step 2: Belief, Visualization, Manifesting
Your mind and your thoughts are the blueprint to your failure or your success. There is no source of failure, worry, or fear. There only is disallowing of success, inner peace, and love. Stop disallowing.
A belief is only a thought u keep thinking so you can change it anytime. When your beliefs match your desires, your desires must become reality, its law. Therefore, you need to believe in your dreams, goals, and successes without any doubt. If you doubt it, the universe has two options: failure or success. If you don’t doubt it and always have the end in mind, the universe has only one option: success.
Most of us are driven by our past. It’s imperative that we chose to be pulled forward by our future. Our future needs to be defined by a clear path, a plan, a strategy, and measures of success. R. Brault stated: “we are kept from our goals, not by obstacles, but by the clear path to a lesser goal”.
Realization of your wishes, dreams, and goals is accomplished by assuming the feeling of these fulfilled.
We need to understand the power of our mind and thoughts and acquire the skills to guide our mind, not react to it.
We need to set and define a clear blueprint for our successes. We need to control our mind so WINNING is the only possible outcome.
We will coach you and teach you meditation, visualization, controlling emotions and feelings, and manifesting until no doubt remains in your mind.
Step 3: Nootropic Support
We advise you on the most innovative nootropics on the market and customize dosage and stacking accordingly.
Currently, I recommend Focus Plus+ in addition to several other biohacking compounds and nootropics. The individual goal is to customize a STACK that works well for you, balances and optimizes all 5 intelligence hormones, and gets you in the zone, on demand.
These custom STACKS are far less effective without implementing the other phases and strategies of the IZOD Method. You would fall short. We all know that there are no silver or magic bullets.
The Result of mastering the IZOD Method always is a Big WIN, on demand.
In this part, I’ll illustrate how The IZOD Method™ and Focus Plus+ affect athletic performance. The same benefits are obtained in business or any other area of life and performance or productivity.
Coaches are often asked what percentage of winning is mental and they almost always answer between 50 and 90%. The great golfer Jack Nicklaus often used the quote, “the game of golf is 90% mental and 10% physical”. The truth is that these coaches and athletes are just guessing. Sports psychologists universally agree, supported with evidence, that playing sports is 100% mental.
The evidence encompasses how an athlete’s performance is impacted by how they manage goals, mental toughness, emotions, faith, belief, motivation, and confidence.
Indeed, each of these areas cover critical mental skills that make physical skills possible. From my perspective, especially focus and intensity prove that sports is 100% mental.
The secret to outperform the competition lies in between the ears. One important tool to be in the zone is being present in the moment. During a soccer game, football game, or 18-hole golf game, each shot or action, good or bad, causes a ripple effect and therefore affects the next few shots or actions.
For example, if a golfer misses an ‘easy’ put, that miss usually carries over to the next play or the next few plays. The same happens when a wide receiver tumbles the ball. However, the elite athletes are in the zone, they are present in the moment and therefore can give each shot or action the same level of importance. A bad shot or a miss does never carry over to the next play. The elites have the end in mind, the win. Elite athletes focus on each shot or action as it comes, and they do not worry or critique the previous shot or action. They don’t speculate in the middle of the game what the outcome of the game may be.
Another great technique is visualization. Visualization can be done prior to the game or competition as you mentally walk through the entire winning sequence, see yourself every step of the way, from start to finish. We can also use visualization before a shot or play. In golf for example, we can visualize a smaller target to land your shot. That’s where you want the ball to go. Focus on only that as it should be the only thing on your mind. Then, commit to the process. Do not walk up to the ball until you are fully committed to the shot. Know that the club in your hands is going to direct the ball where it needs to go and then take that shot. Watch the ball hit your target like a bullseye.
When athletes learn how to get in the zone on demand, they win. They have laser focus, intense concentration, and driving purpose. They anticipate faster than their competition and nothing distracts them, not even a bad shot or action.
Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are great examples of elite athletes who always were in the zone, not just in the game but also during each and every single practice and training session. Being in the zone during practice results is greater benefits from the practice. Athletes perform better during practice and can train harder and longer.
Other athletes have good games and bad games, a good performance one day and a bad performance the next day. Did their athletic abilities change overnight? Did their physical capacity change suddenly? Did their skills diminish? No. People simply state “he or she had an off game”, “he or she had a bad day”, or “he or she’s head wasn’t in the game”. The latter is correct.
The difference between a good or bad game, winning or losing, is mental. It’s about anticipating just a fraction of a second faster, not being distracted, being laser-focused, performing with high intensity, having end in mind. Athletes that have an ‘off-game’ or ‘bad performance’ were not in the zone or unable to get into the zone on demand. They were distracted. They had something else (argument with partner, bad day at work, financial issues, etc.) on their mind.
In addition, some nootropics can be very helpful in this process of getting into the zone. I personally recommend Focus Plus+ (get a free sample on our SHOP HERE page and refer to Chapter 7, 7.5 of my book for more info).
The same holds true for entrepreneurs, artists, performers, and everyone else. You can only perform at your highest potential when in the zone, on demand. This includes making the right choices, being in optimal health, and upgrade or biohack your body, brain, and life.
