Destiny!
“Destiny is on your side.” – Raj Gavurla
Performance Breakthroughs
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you and your family! Thank you for supporting my work and my partnership with “Affectionately Called Endless”.
When I was a kid my friends said there is someone in the world who looks exactly like you. I thought, they might look like me but not identical in appearance. Then, while walking in Greenville, SC people were saying, “Endless”, “Affectionately Called Endless”, and I told them I’m Raj why are you calling me that. They said there’s a guy that looks exactly like you that wears a top hat.
I did my research and saw him as a Local Legend at Alchemy Comedy. We both locked eyes and froze. As I approached, I realized I wasn’t looking into a funny mirror. He said, “I’ve been looking for 600 years for the person that looks exactly like me.” We are in a partnership telling the Story of Greenville. He has a lot of wisdom. Here is a gift and message for you he wants to deliver to a Joint Session of Congress. If you can help him out to do so, please let us know.
Innovation and Entrepreneurial Leadership
1. What idea or innovation is better than what exists today?
2. List tangible reasons why it’s better (does it obsolete a previous invention (computer vs. typewriter), does it make something a lot easier and faster, does it create new patents, and/or does it create a new way or a new market?)
3. What are the next steps? For each step determine is it currently possible (does a solution exist). For some steps you might need to do research, study, and talk with someone to create a solution.
Find ways to reward this process as next step milestones are achieved. One area business needs to innovate is rewarding this process as milestones are achieved instead of the big reward at the end if successful. This is a famine and feast mentality. It would be much better for business to not have famine and have a feast more people enjoy.
“The Zone” Effect
By many “the zone” effect is described as everything is in slow motion, time stands still (isn’t a deterring factor), and your performance feels effortless.
Sometime, it’s destiny. Have you seen Joel Embiid play for the Philadelphia 76ers? He started playing basketball in 2010. It is 2017 and he is in the NBA! I’ve never seen anything like this. Take a look:
Your Most Recent “The Zone” Effect
Before doing what you are about to do answer these three questions to mentally prepare:
1. What your motivation? (list your reasons (your why))
2. What is your mindset? (what you think)
3. What is your mood? (feel action)
That’s “The Zone” Effect. Are you experiencing your “The Zone” Effect?

Innovation and Entrepreneurial Leadership
Are you helping your employees to innovate and backing it with resources to create valued outcomes and financial progress?
“The Zone” Effect
By many “the zone” effect is described as everything is in slow motion, time stands still (isn’t a deterring factor), and your performance feels effortless.
I watched the Philadelphia 76ers play the Los Angeles Lakers. What did I see? Players making their specific independent play comprising the team’s play. Too often, I see teams excluding teammates on the floor instead of including them in the team’s play. Learn to play the right way to make it easier, funner, and better.
Your Most Recent “The Zone” Effect
Here’s an exercise for you? You have a team comprising of ten people. Let’s say five perform at a time. Therefore, there are five watching. When watching you need to watch to see where you insert your knowledge and skill to perform. You have a team when combinations of five including your top one, two, or three players rotate and there is no drop in performance. Is your team at this level of performance?
That’s “The Zone” Effect. Are you experiencing your “The Zone” Effect?

How Can I Help Your Organization With Performance Managment?
1. As a value add resource
2. Outsource your performance management
Do You Instill Confidence Cues?
“Achieve your clear performance goal using confidence cues. ” – Raj Gavurla
Performance Breakthrough(s):
One skill to instill to create performance breakthrough(s) is confidence cues. An example is driving to Greenville, SC from Washington, D.C.. Do you have a clear performance goal? Yes, drive to Greenville, SC. Your confidence cues are put a full tank of gas in the car and refuel when needed, drive to Richmond, Durham, Greensboro, and Charlotte. Each confidence cue gets you closer to your clear performance goal of driving to Greenville, SC.
Some people have a performance goal but it is not a clear performance goal. They say in my coaching they want or need a client. This is not a clear performance goal. Why do you want a targeted client and how will you approach them? Answering this question creates a clear performance goal.
Now that you have a clear performance goal, what are your confidence cues. You know to prepare and do so, you connect in a genuine way, and you have wisdom to approach them the right way. All of these are confidence cues. Another confidence cue to instill is to ask better question(s) to create the right dialogue to help them get what they want, need, or are interested in.
Innovation and Entrepreneurial Leadership:
Are you creating performance breakthroughs? Are your employees involved with innovation and entrepreneurial leadership? The new trend in business is towards an innovation and entrepreneurial leadership culture instead of a hierarchical or authoritative culture. Do you have a process to help your business become more innovative and exhibit entrepreneurial leadership? Doing so is a win for all.
“The Zone” Effect:
By many “the zone” effect is described as everything is in slow motion, time stands still (isn’t a deterring factor), and your performance feels effortless.
A sports example is when playing basketball before I shoot I’m already thinking ahead (therefore, I know I will shoot although I’m dribbling), then I see the rim one foot higher (for arch and backspin), and feel. The last two are co-activation. Some players see shooting the ball over the loop of the goal and some watch the path of the ball and some don’t. What works for you?
Do you need to instill confidence cues to make you a better shooter. There is always a spot on the floor for a shooter.
Your Most Recent “The Zone” Effect:
Here’s an exercise for you? Describe a time when you were in “The Zone”. Also, have your teammates describe a time when they were in “The Zone”. What did you learn from this exercise?
As you progress, you learn skill(s) to achieve your clear performance goals. The skill progresses in stages:
Learn the skill ->Develop the skill ->Build the skill ->Grow the skill ->”The Zone” Effect (use skill at the right time)
That’s “The Zone” Effect. Are you experiencing your “The Zone” Effect?
