Background and mPWR10 Overview

Stress has been declared as the “health epidemic of the 21st century” by the World Health Organization and is costing American businesses up to $300 billion a year in lost productivity. This is not surprising given the economic uncertainties, 24/7 demanding lifestyles and continual changes and challenges. However, we don’t have to let these things control us and lead us to feel like we’re just surviving each day. The good news is that human beings are intrinsically hardwired to set and achieve goals, to grow and thrive. The question is how best to focus our energy and maximize results. Imagine that a small amount of time invested in yourself each day could enable you to take control and create what you want in all areas of your life. mPWR10 is a revolutionary 10-minute-a-day structured process that empowers you to stay on track, perform at your best on a daily basis regardless of challenges and circumstances, and realize meaningful goals while experiencing less stress.

Several years ago while working together in the pharmaceutical industry, we were exposed to cutting-edge scientific studies demonstrating that by implementing specific habits you can replicate your best performance on a routine basis. Reflecting back on our many years of corporate management experience, we realized we had seen this science at work first hand among the most successful individuals and effective leaders. The reliability and consistency of their performance was driven by their ability to stay focused, optimistic and solution-oriented despite the pressure.

This inspired us to develop a way for people to easily and effectively use these principles to thrive, take their results to a higher level and sustain them. So, we extensively researched, analyzed and synthesized the Peak Performance, Positive Psychology and Leadership literature and arrived at the six mPWR10 habits that were consistently proven to be essential for success.

Of course, to sustain meaningful changes, it’s not enough just to know what to do. Taking action is the key. Probably, like us, you’ve had the experience of listening to a motivational speaker or reading personal growth or leadership books and felt extremely inspired and anticipated implementing the recommendations. However, after the positive emotion has waned several days later, what tends to happen? Most people will say, “Not much,” “I get busy and fall back to my old habits,” or “I forget what I am supposed to do.”

So here you’ll learn a practical and proven technique to easily apply each of the mPWR10 habits. And you’ll have the opportunity to practice these techniques using the mPWR10 process. The mPWR10 process is very effective for two reasons. First, it’s a structured framework that enables you to practice all six of these proven habits in just 10 minutes. What could be easier than that? Second, writing and recording acts as a filter for the brain and gives importance to what you’re actively focusing on, thus diminishing any distractions.

Uniquely, by spending just 10 minutes a day implementing these techniques, you are taking personal accountability for how you want to perform and will immediately observe tangible benefits.

Many now look forward to completing mPWR10 and it has become the most important 10 minutes of their day because it easily sets them up for success. They are in control rather than having circumstances controlling them and they stay positive, confident and focused on meaningful priorities. We hope you also embrace this opportunity to routinely be at your best and stay on track to achieve more personal success in all areas of your life.
