For years, I’ve believed that if we want to excel at anything, we need to do two things: 1) Get involved in a Master Mind and 2) hire a coach.

So a few years ago I made the decision to get in really good shape, to be stronger than I’ve ever been, and to tone my body. To achieve this I hired Heidi Crutchfield as my personal trainer.

Heidi has participated in many Triathlons, Marathons, half-Ironman and Ironman competitions. And as my mentor in real estate used to say, she’s “stronger than 90 day old garlic.” Not only is she physically strong, Heidi is mentally strong; which is the reason I wanted to interview and blog about her.

In a Triathlon you swim, bike and run. There are different distances, the one in Sebring, Florida; Heartland Triathlon on July 25th & 26th, is .25 miles swim, 3.1 run, 14 miles bike. I’m excited to say that this is my first triathlon on a relay team with Steve and his daughter Megan. So come on down and cheer us on, or maybe you’ll even want to participate.

A Marathon is a 26.2 mile run.

A ½ Ironman is 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run.

An Ironman is 2.4 miles swim, 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile run.

Can you imagine?!!! I’m excited that I can run 2 miles, I couldn’t say that a few months ago.

I look forward to my training, and while I’m there, I can’t say that it feels that great. Sometimes I ask myself “what was I thinking?” “Do I really want to do this?” “I can just watch what I eat, and walk a little or ride my bike and I’ll be just fine.” If you have thought about exercising, or began an exercise program, you know what I am talking about. This is normal; we question ourselves when things get a little tough. The kicker is how you respond to those questions. Notice I said “respond” and not “react.”



In business, we often ask the same questions.

Not only do I love the fact that as a result of training with Heidi, I am stronger than ever, but I am actually doing something that it is easy not to do. I look for opportunities during my days to practice what we teach and coach. And this is one of them.

With Heidi as my coach, I can do things I never thought possible. There’s NO WAY I would do this on my own. She encourages me (she MAKES ME) do more reps, lift a little more, work out so hard that sometimes I can barely lift my arm or lift my leg.

It’s been intriguing for me to learn how one goes from deciding to start to exercise, to eventually end up in an Ironman competition – over 140 miles total, on the SAME day. So, while I’m training with Heidi, I am asking her questions about that mind set, and she tries to get me to focus on my exercise (she doesn’t “try” – she makes sure I do the exercise).



So, how do you go from earning what you are currently earning to doubling that amount, to selling more than you sell, to setting and reaching your goals? As you listen to Heidi, she will share some of the same principles that you need to apply with your own personal goals. That is if you have a goal to begin with.

Listen to what Heidi has to say about decision making, setting goals, focus, visualization, coaching, competition, having a plan, being prepared, and blessings and adventures.

What I’ve learned from Heidi is that the mind set she has for running a marathon, or competing in an Ironman competition, is the same mind set we should have for doing ANYTHING we set out to do.

In this interview, Heidi talks about reading an article from Andy Potts, where he talks about focusing on the small details. She is always learning from others how she can improve what she is doing. Heidi also has a personal coach, Jeff Cuddeback.

If you are in Highlands County, and would be interested in talking to Heidi, she can currently be reached at The Fitness Factory.

Personal Trainer Heidi Crutchfield - Training for Iron Man from Jeanny Campbell on Vimeo.

Jeanny Campbell, LifeSuccess Consultant, interviewed Heidi Crutchfield, her personal fitness trainer, on Friday, May 21, 2009. They discussed how visualization, goal setting, mindset, and coaching are important to Heidi's preparation for an Iron Man Triathalon... and how these apply not only in athletics but also in life and business!

Last year I went on Bob Proctor's cruise, and met Geoff Bone from the U.K. Geoff has been confined to a wheelchair since a near fatal accident in 1972 when he slipped and fell under a train. Because of a wheelchair, he is able to live independently.

There are some 130 million disabled people in the world who are in need of wheelchairs, but cannot afford it. While I was in Jamaica I observed a number of men who didn't have legs and they were on wooden boards with wheels, or were using a broom stick for a leg.

Geoff Bone's vision is to give each of these people a wheelchair, so that they can enjoy the same mobility and freedom given to him. Each wheelchair costs just $100 and the website gives full details.

Join us to share his vision. If you wish to contribute with a gift of ANY amount, you can do so by visiting the website: www.wheelchairsfortheworld.org.uk

I spoke with Bob Proctor's attorney (Mark Myarderk) to make sure that this was a legitimate organization and that contributions were appropriately placed and he assured me that they were.

Sowing and reaping is a law, like the law of gravity. The law of gravity always works the same way for everyone. So does the law of sowing and reaping. It's a fixed principle that God built into his creation. In Galatians 6:7, we are told, "Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap." Like my pastor always says: "If you want to be Blessed - BE A BLESSING!"

Albert Einstein said: "I admit thoughts influence the body."

You want to LEARN (choose) to think as POSITIVELY AS POSSIBLE. Negative thoughts are toxic; they affect your body in a negative way. They weaken you, create muscular tension, create an acidic environment, they increase the likelihood of serious diseases.

Negative thoughts send out a negative energy VIBRATION and ATTRACT more experiences of the same vibration.

POSITIVE THOUGHTS will affect your body in a POSITIVE WAY.

POSITIVE THOUGHTS will make you feel more relaxed, centered and alert. They stimulate the release of endorphins in your brain, reducing pain and increasing pleasure. POSITIVE THOUGHTS send out a POSITIVE ENERGY VIBRATION that will ATTRACT more POSITIVE EXPERIENCES back into your life.

Tell me how you FEEL - and I will tell you how YOU ARE THINKING.

Feeling is a word which describes your "conscious awareness of your level of vibration." The vibration is what causes the ATTRACTION. It is like a magnet.

Okay, you don't have to believe me. It's your choice.

You may be aware of your conscious thoughts; it's the SUBCONSCIOUS ones that can "get you." If you have been thinking negatively for years you MAY NOT even realize it. How do you feel? How often? This will tell you. Now, your doctor may tell you different - fine, it's your choice of what you are going to believe. Let the doctor treat the body then, you TREAT THE MIND.

Negative self-talk is like static; it will interfere with, distort, and even block the frequencies of your positive intentions. If you do not remove these negative thoughts, you will reduce your ability to create and manifest the future you desire.

If what it is that you desire is perfect health, joy, peace, love, abundance, happiness, wealth - then make the decision TODAY, RIGHT NOW, to consciously CHOOSE POSITIVE THOUGHTS.

You can start by simply CHOOSING to SMILE more often. Smile right now, okay, go ahead and do it. No one is watching, just put that silly grin on your face. Hummm, be aware of what you are doing "or not." Remember it's a choice. A Smile will put you in a POSITIVE VIBRATION INSTANTLY.

It's your choice you know?

Tell me how you are feeling and I will tell you how you have been THINKING.
