		<description>Wow thank you Marc for the mention in this great post. 

I think for us to make performance breakthrough as you say we need to focus on a specific area and work on it rather than simply trying to work on the whole of our game.

		<description>@Phil - I appreciate the kind words Phil. I am actually not a personal trainer or coach (in the current PD sense), I only train in karate as a lifestyle interest. But, all the things we do inside a karate dojo apply to any kind of personal development. I am really glad you are able to find value in what I am talking about for your clients. Thanks for sharing my thinking with your readers, I really do appreciate that.</description>

		<description>Hi Marc -

Excellent post.  I always work with my clients to go to the edge of a comfort zone and focus on making one change.  Intensive work for a period of time embeds the learning, and allows rapid advancement and skill development.  I can tell you are a powerful trainer and get results for your clients by stretching them to the edge.  I enjoyed this series, so shared it with my readers in my latest post.  Great work and thanks!

Phil

Thanks for you comment and coming by.</description>

		<description>Hi Marc

You outline a fascinating process here. The bit that talks to me most is about writing. I had never even considered writing in &quot;performance&quot; terms before, but given that I am currently upping the ante on my own writing (doing more guest posts, etc, etc) I do need to be able to produce good content in less time. I think your suggestion of writing three short posts a day under a time pressure may be worth trying. I&#039;m going to think about this one... :)

Thanks and take care.</description>
