OUTPERFORM Podcast

“Don’t be sad that it’s over; be glad that it happened.” —Scott Welle. This is the most vulnerable episode of the Outperform Podcast I’ve ever recorded. It’s my story of losing both my Mom & Dad before the age of 38. I share this not for clicks or for sympathy, but to share what I learned from the experience and how it may potentially help you. Remember - I have a story, you have a story, we all have a story. Let’s write an epic novel, not a Shakespearean tragedy.

“Having an attitude of gratitude is one of the single greatest performance enhancers for our lives.” —Scott Welle. In this special Thanksgiving episode, we talk about gratitude. Simply stated, when you’re focused on what’s good, what’s right, and what you have, you cannot be simultaneously focused on what’s bad, what’s wrong, and what you lack. And there is more and more research showing Outperformers have higher levels of gratitude - not just during Thanksgiving week - but in their daily lives.

“There are four specific things Outperformers do to consciously create the conditions and focus necessary to enter the flow state.” —Scott Welle. For the FLOW visual, visit https://scottwelle.com/flow In this episode, we cover four things you can do to more consistently enter the FLOW State. 1. Allow a ramp up period 2. No generalities (have a challenging, CLEAR goal that your brain can work on) 3. Minimize distractions (do this ahead of time) 4. Focus on what you’re DOING instead of what may HAPPEN. Do these four things and you’ll give yourself the best possible chance to enter the FLOW state and have greater productivity, positivity and personal satisfaction.

“Operating without worries, fears and insecurities is not fake. In fact, it’s the realest, most authentic version of you.” —Scott Welle. In this episode, I discuss the fastest way to boost performance: creating an Alter Ego. It’s something ALL elite performers do in certain uncomfortable situations (whether they consciously realize it or not) and it allows them to shine when others around them shrink.

“It’s all about single tasking. Focusing on one thing makes it manageable...and seeing tangible progress towards that is the remedy to overwhelm. ” —Scott Welle. For the FLOW visual, visit https://scottwelle.com/flow In this episode, we talk about a special state of peak performance: the FLOW State. It’s a place where you’re deeply immersed in what you’re doing, you get more done, and you find more enjoyment in it. Doesn’t that sound nice? To get there, you have to understand how challenges and skills can put us in four different “quadrants” and how this can drastically impact our mindset and emotions during our days.

“Reference Points are your reservoir of strength and self-belief for fighting future battles.” —Scott Welle. In this episode, we talk about resilience. It’s something we know we need to Outperform: if you get knocked down, you must be able to get back up. But we don’t always want to go through the act of GETTING knocked down to LEARN HOW TO get back up. That’s where Reference Points become your biggest asset in building strength, self-belief and resilience. Because if you did it before, you can do it again. And if you got through that, you can get through this. Enjoy and if you like what you hear, sign up for OUTPERFORM Weekly for free at https://scottwelle.com.

“Clear the path between you and what you want and WATCH what happens.” —Scott Welle. In this episode, we talk about shoving distractions aside. Are Outperformers more motivated? Absolutely. But I’d argue that an equal, and perhaps greater, contributor to their success is that they’re also less distracted. They have a clearer path with less “road construction” in getting where they want to go. Because of this they are able to perform at a higher level, more consistently over time.

“Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Uh huh…easier said than done!’” —Scott Welle. In this episode, we’ll tackle nerves. We all have them, so do I. And nerves are your body’s way of signifying that you’re about to do something outside your comfort zone and something that is meaningful to you. I’ll share strategies to handle these nerves so you continue to seek out future growth situations in your journey to Outperform.

“Knowing what you want is a surprisingly complex equation. There are four things to help you ‘figure it out.’” —Scott Welle. In this episode, we’ll discuss a difficult question to answer: What do you want? This is a question I’ve asked myself many, MANY times, and although I don’t have all the answers, I’ll share four recommendations that might help you gain clarity on what you want. 1. Ask what YOU want (resist the societal pull). 2. Stop putting pressure on yourself and see it as an opportunity (HAVE TO or WANT / GET to). 3. Determine who you admire or don’t admire and WHY. 4. Ask if your current behaviors getting you closer to that vision? Enjoy and I hope it serves you! More free training on Outperforming The Norm can be found at https://scottwelle.com.

“Small wins are - and always will be - the precursor to big wins.” —Scott Welle. In this episode, you’ll hear about the importance of small wins, what they are, why they matter and how you can build on them. And even though it’s not often what you hear in “mainstream media” - it’s a better pathway for us to have sustained high performance. Enjoy!

“We think a lot in our lives about what we need to DO. We would be better served if we also thought about who we need to BE.” —Scott Welle. In this episode, you’ll hear me discuss one of my favorite concepts: Identity-based behavior (or what I call, “Live It” in my latest book, Daily Execution. Extraordinary Results.). It’s a different - and better - way of thinking about how you approach every single day and a way to have a higher quality of performance in everything you do. Enjoy!

“O.P.P.? Yeah you know me!” In this special episode, I peel back the curtain on my “O.P.P.” framework that I use to help individuals and businesses strategically set goals. It sounds simple but that doesn’t mean it’s easy, and once you 1) know what you want, and 2) map out the Outcome, Performance and Process to be able to get it, you will be ahead of 99% of people in terms of achieving your goals personally, professionally or athletically.

“The greatest competitive advantage comes from those that choose Mastery.” —Scott Welle. In this episode, you’ll hear how to gain a competitive advantage, the best way to bridge the gap between high achievement and fulfillment, and why a Mastery Orientation is far superior to an Ego Orientation for anything you’re striving towards personally, professionally or athletically.

“Self-limiting beliefs are the governor on your individual potential.” —Scott Welle. Most people who are seeing subpar results in a given area of their life don’t understand WHY. They think it’s bad luck or bad genes or bad timing. It’s not. In this episode, I not only tell you WHY this is, but also how this cycle (or “spiral”) either leads to peak performance or limited performance. Enjoy!

“Telling someone to be realistic is telling them to be self-limiting.” —Scott Welle. The OUTPERFORM Podcast is BACK! After a hiatus, this is the first of 15 episodes (released every Monday) between now and the end of the year. The short clip is from a keynote speech on not governing yourself with “realistic” goals. Nothing great was ever accomplished by playing beneath your capabilities. You have accomplished many, MANY, things in your life that at one time were completely “unrealistic.” You did it anyway. And if you did it before, you can do it again. More free training on peak performance can be found at https://scottwelle.com.

“When you are so convicted in your values and what you stand for it will supersede any fears of negative reactions or worries about what other people think.” —Scott Welle. This episode is a deeper discussion of a conversation I had recently with a coaching client about not caring (or caring less) about what people think. I’ve been there myself and it can cripple our words and actions if we’re always preoccupied with the reaction of others. But the cure for this is actually not to care less, it’s to care MORE…about your values and your convictions. Show notes can be found at https://scottwelle.com/what-people-think.

“When you wake up every day and reinforce this into your psychology, I PROMISE it will translate to more decisive action and better behaviors towards what it is that you say you want.” —Scott Welle. In this solocast, I discuss one of my FAVORITE topics: health and high performance. Especially during this time of COVID, we need our peak health if we want to be our very best and Outperform. But, sooo much of our ability to stay disciplined and dedicated comes from how we define health and our underlying psychology towards it.

“One simple, straightforward question: What are you proud of in the last year?” —Scott Welle. I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting on 2022 over the last couple of weeks (as I’m sure you have as well!) and this episode is about identifying the things with which you’re most proud in 2022. I’m sure you have MANY accomplishments and achievements, and my greatest hope is that you take time to internalize them and soak them up! Show notes can be found at https://scottwelle.com/2022-recap.

“What happens on your best days?” —Scott Welle. This is a question I asked a coaching client yesterday (he had an idea...but wasn't exactly sure). This episode is about identifying the things that happen physically, mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, socially, spiritually, etc., on our best days so we can begin to reverse engineer this process and be more intentional of allocating our time and energy towards what is meaningful to us.

“Confidence and belief in yourself is built by getting comfortable being uncomfortable. But to do that, you have to be able to overcome the three pains that prevent action.” —Scott Welle. You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Get comfortable being uncomfortable.” We all know we NEED to do it to Outperform, but we often don’t know what PREVENTS us from doing it. This episode details the three “pains” that keep us from taking action towards anything in our lives: outcome pain, loss pain and process pain. By understanding these three things and overcoming the psychological “teeter-totter,” you’ll be better equipped to take action in your personal / professional / athletic life.
