I watched Rafael Nadal play two incredible matches at the Australian Open over the weekend.

He returned to the court a little over 40 hours later and defeated Roger Federer 7-5 3-6 7-6(3) 3-6 6-2 in a match lasting 4 hours and 23 minutes.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the process of creating models of excellence. Modelling is the complex activity of capturing in a learnable transferable code the differences that make a difference between an excellent performer and an average performer, between an excellent athlete and an average one, a person who is motivated to get the best out of themselves in training and one who is not. NLP, then, is the process of identifying, coding and transferring precisely those differences in a learnable form to the interested participants and companies to allow significant upgrading of their performance to levels of excellence. Results in sport depend crucially on your ability to use your mind effectively. Many elite athletes say the mental aspects of sport make the difference between being a champion or not.

What Do You Need to Pass a Franchisor’s Test?

Buying a franchise is a lot like marriage. Two parties enter into a relationship with the expectation of mutual benefit, long-term support and common goals. When entering into marriage, both people spend a great deal of time learning about each other and making sure they are a good match before making the commitment. The same is true for franchising. Both the franchisor and the franchisee gather information about each other and evaluate whether there is a good match. Although it may not be immediately evident, a franchise company is under no obligation to award a franchise to just anyone who can afford the franchise fee. In many cases a franchisor has as much or more at risk when a franchisee fails.
