Dear Total Balance Company Family,
Guess What? HAPPY NEW YEAR. Now that the surprise message is out of the way I want to share a message
with you about the possibilities of the Year ahead.
Growing up back in England I LOVED the New Year. I would march off to the Bournemouth Town Center at 9pm and shiver the night away celebrating with the crowds gathered around the clock tower until the Year changed. It was magical. The energy, the friendliness, the open arms to strangers and the feeling that the problems of yesterday had evaporated forever. People we didn’t know, and would never see again, would greet us with the jubilant Happy New Year. A feeling of unity, community and hope. HOPE. Oh, how I used to love the word. Hanging on to a belief that it is all going to get better. HOPEfully.
I no longer believe in hope. I have a much more dynamic approach and energy. BELIEF. Belief that things will get better because I will work at it. See, for me, hope is a feeling that waits for it to happen, for someone else to help the change needed. Belief, on the other hand, is a dynamic trust that WE can make the difference. When I believe, I am more willing to do the work, lead the way, take the steps, put in the effort. Hope allows us to sit back and wait. The chances of success increase dramatically when we believe and actually do the work.
The New Year is one second. 11:59:59 – 12:00:00. ONE SECOND. Well if one second can make a change – so can YOU, second by second by second. Don’t wait with hope – take action. I know 100% your success will follow if smart, committed and consistent with the right approach. We all have goals and dreams when we stop looking at the bad and focus on the possible. Change of thought = change of direction. With your goals for YOU set in place, and the Total Balance Company Program to follow along with to support your journey, I am confident you will be standing at the end of 2021 proud of the year and work done, and looking forward to many years ahead. So, here is the summary:
- Believe in YOU – you can make your difference
- Believe YOU have amazing value – you are brilliant in potential, let it shine
- Believe in YOUR journey to get better – commit to you
- Believe YOU are not alone – you are your own story and many will watch with quiet admiration
- Believe that YOU are born to be great always –know that you are your driving power, don’t stop
To my Family and Friends around the world, in countries I have lived in – England, France, Germany, Japan, Hungary, South Africa, USA, and so many places I have visited – HAPPY NEW YEAR. 2021, be the very best of years so far. May our friendships grow far beyond the year and into highlights of support and achievements we celebrate – step by step.
And to that small-town center in Bournemouth, Dorset, thank you for providing me so many years of memories I treasure.

Total Balance Company HERO OF THE WEEK – January 1st, 2021
TIP of the NEWSLETTER
The experts in athletic competition state performance is 80-90% mental. Success and achievement are no different. Every day is a competition where the option to do, or not do, is there every step of the way. Yet with the dynamics to winning being so mentally favored, we spend so little time growing the mental ability and focus on the 10-20% – the workout / training / physical activity.
My Tip to begin 2021, and I hope will stay with us all far beyond the one year, is train the mental approach with the passion to lead the physical work. Commitment to do the work is mental. Do not quit when the results are just around the corner. Just because you can’t see them does not mean they are not there. There is a saying I LOVE. Before every great breakthrough is a greater breakdown. This is the moment most will stop and quit. This eliminates the average from the good. Each level has a smaller group of members. There are millions and millions of poor and average achievers. There is a smaller group of good, even smaller of great. And the smallest group of all – THE GREATEST. Greatness is not bestowed upon the highest talents. It is achieved by full commitment to your cause and BELIEVING, rightfully so, you were born to be great – Someone has to do it – WHY NOT YOU? Ask yourself that question, with kindness to your life – WHY NOT YOU?
It can be you – there is NO reason why not. Your suffering and then success can be an inspiration to millions who do not yet have the courage. Lead. Take the time to see your progress and trust in you every single day. Never doubt but instead know stumbling blocks are only challenges to take you to the next group that some will not attain. Be smart, vigilant and tap into your internal power that does not understand the word can’t, but instead push back with “Just Watch Me”. Refuse to listen to naysayers who will prefer to see you fail than succeed. Do not give in to those who do not value your life as much as you do. If you can tap into your mental power, as statistics show – you will have 80-90% more chance of success. Do the work, and celebrate the victories no matter how big or small.
I believe in you because I know the power of your life. 2021 – step over the start line and make it YOUR year. Total Balance Company is in your corner – now get out there and face the challenges ahead – one brilliant moment at a time.
With love,
Dan
