17513 - Why is no one talking about alcohol & performance?

Days Left On Earth: 17513

You can meditate all you like.

Exercise like a hero

Eat like a saint


But if you’re still drinking too much you’re missing an essential ingredient of performance that almost everyone overlooks.


In summary - You can’t out mediate, out exercise or eat your way out of the hole a few drinks creates.


These are the facts. Even a few drinks destroys the quality your sleep. All the science suggests that poor sleep destroys performance.


We all been there on a Friday morning after a few on a Thursday. Hows performance on these days?


And what about the day after?


As you age it takes longer to recover.


For years I was drinking and under performing. I just never questioned it. Then 8.5 years ago I stopped and it transformed ny buisness, career, income, health and happiness.


I also discovered that going alcohol-free is a superpower in a business world thats awash with booze.


So why are we not talking about tactical breaks from alcohol as a superpower performance tool?


The truth is that its a cultural blindspot. Most everyone is boozing therefore its a level playing field.


Or is it.


And the world of business is rapidly catching onto the idea of tactical breaks.


All the athletes, and elite business performers I work with have now stopped drinking.


The elite athletes and business professionals I work with are taking more and more time away from the booze.


They too have unlocked a secret alcohol-free super power.


So if we are going to talk performance surely its time that we also speak about tactical breaks from the booze.
