Success Stories Facebook Group is LIVE

Hello Friends,
I appreciate your patience as I build this. Sometimes things take longer than I expect. Actually, they often do because I want fast results. I'm enjoying the challenge of using the many performance enhancing skills I'll be teaching you myself (e.g., handling mistakes well, acting with fear and doubt, managing expectations, etc.).
So please expect things won't go smoothly. Much of this is very new to me.
Let me explain my journey briefly ...
I've been a sport psychologist in a sports medicine and rehabilitation setting for 20 years. During that time, I ALWAYS wanted to help more people than I could with 1:1 consulting.
So I many years ago started a newsletter, then a facebook page, then Twitter. I joined LinkedIn. A few years ago I started a YouTube channel and my "Mental Toughness in 60 Seconds" video series. Then Instagram. Most of you are part of one or more of those free communities. And this was all great to help literally thousands of high achievers. When I published "The Psychology of Performance: How to Be Your Best in Life" through The Great Courses I was overwhelmed by the feedback on how it improved peoples lives. It was more in-depth and intense than the social content and it made a real positive difference for many.
I wanted to have that impact on people again!
When COVID hit, it came with a lot of losses for me, both personally and professionally. It seemed like God was clearing out everything in my life one week after the other. I had a decision to make. To stay in my sorrow and pain and loss - or start over with a clean slate and create the life and career I wanted. God had a plan for me and it seemed His timing was now. That's when this membership idea came to me.
So while I have all the content and skills in my head and am ready to teach - I don't have the experience of running a membership site yet. I am blessed with a wonderful support network and mentors (yes, more than one!). I'm finding the more I learn - the more I don't know! The possibilities of what we can do are endless and I get so excited about it all! Then I have a million questions about the technology and process and how to best deliver it to you.
So thank you for your understanding. And thank you in advance for your feedback, suggestions and comments as you help create our Success Stories Membership.
Now for the good news ...

Best,
Dr Eddie
P.S. - In my last e-mail I invited you to start thinking about the one area you most want to make improvement in (being specific in the behavior and what it would look like). Then asked what 1% better would look like? And invited you to take action ... If you did something that moved you just a little bit closer to your goal, please share that win in the Discussion section of the facebook page!
Dr. Eddie O’Connor
