(James singing along to David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”)
What is your motivational hook?
So you’re probably wondering why I’m singing while I’m waxing my board. If you’ve seen [The Secret Life Of] Walter Mitty, a great film, you would have noticed there was a great scene there where he was reluctant to catch a helicopter ride with a drunk guy and I understand that, but the song got him inspired.
It’s his anchor, it’s his motivational hook to get out there and do something inspirational. So that’s why when I’m waxing my board, I sing this song because taking up a new sport like surfing can be really difficult but that song gets me in the mood. It’s my anchor.
What’s your anchor?
So my action step for you today is get yourself a motivational anchor to move into something that you might feel uncomfortable with. I hope you’ve enjoyed this little grab. I’m James Schramko and will talk to you soon but right now, I’ve got to go out and have a surf.

Great stuff hey!
A perfectly timed post James. I just refilled my ipod over the weekend with a wide variety of motivational songs, inspired my radio last Friday. I heard Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys , God Gave Me Everything by Mick Jagger and Lenny Kravitz and Dont Stop Me Now by Queen in a row in the car. Put a smile on my dial and got me hunting for more tunes to play daily. How long have you been surfing?

I only started at the end of December so pretty much 2014 is my first year
Good music always gets one anchored – I always enjoy this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_DKWlrA24k
Saw the movie on the weekend. Fantastic!

glad you liked it!
My son loved it too. He loved all the zone out scenes. Music can be so powerful. I’m sure you have seen this, but in case you haven’t. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOC9danxNo
Excellent!
Very cool. Anytime you can produce a video in space, you have an unfair advantage.
It is wild huh!
I watched an interview with this astronaut. James, I think you might like the part starting at 14:20 where he talks about sweating the small stuff and being prepared for things. It’s a little bit of a contrarian view, which is why I think you’ll like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7porQR3ISs
For me it’s anything from Fleetwood Mac (especially The Chain) or this version of The Voice with John Farnham and Coldplay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19JN50bLKjY
Great tip on anchors. The singing was major epic. At the first of the video, did you just “a cappella” that singing and then your team added in the music later or did you record with the music on and stop it suddenly?

I just sang and the music was added later. I know the tune now.
Well done. By the way, why are you up so late? What happened to going to sleep early and waking up with the sun? Or are you in another time zone?
Thank you Sean
Thank you Sean

This is my energy booster, after bringing my young kids to bet I use this video (minimize to so I can continue working) to get the blood pumping and energy flowing, Red Hot Chili Peppers full live concert -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk5YtLYcH74
