October 3, 2020 by Tony Francisco Leave a Comment

There is always value in reading the story of a Navy SEAL.

Whether it is Jocko’s rendition of Extreme Ownership or Mark Divine’s backstory of his transition from corporate America to Navy SEAL Commander.

Banting’s Letter on Corpulence

September 1, 2020 by Tony Francisco Leave a Comment

In 1865, just over a century before Atkins published the now famous Atkins Diet, a man named William Banting sent out a periodical to the people of London addressing his fight against obesity.

Banting, not unlike the countless of people in today’s society, struggled over and over again to rid himself of his excess weight. Referred to as a “parasite” in his letter, his efforts yielded practically no results. [Read more…]

Top 10 Books for a HPX Lifestyle

August 5, 2020 by Tony Francisco Leave a Comment

A high-performance lifestyle is built around purposeful action.

It’s Robert Greene’s concept of a life task at the forefront of what we do everyday.

It is what Angela Duckworth talks about when she describes passion and perseverance.

When Jocko demands discipline, it is for the singular purpose of becoming better in some way.

They also produce the same result: success.

Success cannot always be copied but the enablers, what it takes to become successful, can be.

Elite military and professional athletes channel it to produce almost superhuman efforts. Billionaires use it to create empires and it shines through in the philosophies of stoic wisdom.

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable. – Socrates

What it Takes to Have Grit

March 1, 2020 by Tony Francisco Leave a Comment

Grit, as defined by Angela Duckworth, in her bestselling book by the same name, is passion and perseverance.

Grit is forged by the combination of the two — a passion for something and the willingness to follow through on the process it takes to become good at that thing.

Here’s how Duckworth describes highly-successful people, based on her research:

1. They were resilient and hardworking.

2. They knew in a very, very deep way what it was they wanted.

If grit is the key to success, then determination and direction is the key to having grit. [Read more…]
