To those who have either tired of
the merry-go-round of mainstream marketing bullshit,
or those who perhaps due to instinctual
perceptiveness bypass this mass behavior, and seek
material resonant for its message, rather than
influenced because that is what so many others are
or appear to be doing...
I say when the wise speak,
listen. I understand this is easier said than done,
as your senses are cluttered with marketing claims
of ‘the best in the world’, ‘internationally
renowned’, ‘gets results faster than anyone’ and
other usually self appointed adjectives aimed at
creating the perception of greatness.
If you have followed my work long
enough you would have realized that relative to this
marketing largess engaged in by many, we say little
and do a lot. That is our goal. Not only to under
promise and over deliver, but to sacrifice short
term gain on the marketing merry-go-round to
indentify the truly committed , whose paths, journey
and search has resulted in them knocking on the door
of KSI. Rather than a red flashing light drawing the
masses for short term visits and a quick emptying of
the pockets.
That’s my disclaimer. Now for
the message.
It is rare when the wise speak,
especially those consciously or otherwise influenced
by Taoism. For at this level of consciousness, it
is often considered that ‘he who cannot do
teaches’;, or ‘he who doesn’t speak and he who
speaks doesn’t know’; or ‘the loudest trumpet is
often the emptiest vessel’. (In some cases in this
industry it is difficult to deny these ancient
wisdoms!)
For those who are ready to go
beyond the BS of mainstream marketing –I am going to
give you an opportunity to learn from a man who I
describe as wise and who knows, by his ability to
do, at the highest level. There are two parts to
this statement.
Firstly. For those who are ready
to go beyond the mainstream BS. I have learnt
through my years of being a student and observer
that it’s easy to get attention. Stand on the
sidewalk and look up and point at something in the
sky. Someone will wonder what you are doing and do
the same. The more that do this, the more feel they
too should be doing this.
Anyone willing to talk crap, be
sensationalist and use other techniques or claims to
gain attention can taken advantage of this human
nature. If you are still at that stage of discerning
where this seems the way to go, you may not be
ready. I speak to those who have either tired of the
merry-go-round of mainstream marketing bullshit, or
those who perhaps due to instinctual perceptiveness
bypass this mass behavior, and seek material
resonant for its message, rather than influenced
because that is what so many others are or appear to
be doing.
Secondly, you are constantly
being told by excellent marketers in this industry
about their greatness, so I choose my words
carefully. I do not want to align or associate with
this shallow, self-serving but highly seductive word
selection. I will scrape by with this statement – I
have been a student professional for nearly 3
decades and a student for life of performance in
sport. I have worked with and achieved success with
athletes at a volume and frequency few have the
opportunity to do. I can spot the bullshit from the
real deal. Enough said? (if I continue I fear I
might get too revealing about the relationship
between your perception of greatness as created by
marketing, and actual competency based on
historically measureable events….like the time I got
an email listing a certain industry writer as one of
the greats….hold it, I said I wasn’t going to go
there….)
There are very few who seek
excellence. Most seek to serve the ego, and this
gets in the way of excellence. There is no
correlation between marketing and competence. You
will hear me say that time and time again. (So much
so that I suspect my best imitator could be making
this statement as their own in just a few months!)
The time has come to reveal that
for the first time ever you can learn from a coach
that has met my expectations and continues to work
within and contribute to the way of KSI. His name is
Mitchell Kochonda, and if you have not heard of him
that’s okay, because like I said…there is no
correlation between marketing and competence…
He has chosen to share his
wisdoms in a monthly audio series he has titled
‘Sharpen Your Mind’ commencing January 2010 and
running for the 12 months of 2010. You can subscribe
to this audio download either monthly or yearly.
The monthly is recurring for the 12 issues unless
cancelled, and the yearly subscription is a one off
investment. We have created special KSI Forum
Members and KSI Coaches / DTI member rates, which
you will learn of by clicking on the appropriate
links below.
The content is aimed to
enlighten, educate and inspire you, and also give
you insights into the thoughts of a person who has
achieved the rare distinction of graduating from the
KSI Coaching Program and being recommend by myself.
That’s a rare combination. The most common group are
the 18 Month Information Age Black Belts (but more
on this another day…). His continuous commitment to
mastering the KSI way dates back more than 10 years.
The content of this audio series
is, consistent with all KSI teachings, holistic. Not
lip service holistic, like the industry writer who
throws one line or one exercise in as a token
demonstration of awareness. Truly holistic –
physical preparation based, with equal attention in
volume and quality to health, personal,
professional, financial and business development.
Audios offer a medium of learning
not shared by books, and is a learning tool that
many of us do not exploit to the fullest. Driving in
a car, travelling in any form by yourself, offers an
excellent opportunity to immerse in auditory
learning. A common cynical criticism at the need
for repetitive exposure to personal development is
rebuffed by Zig Ziglar who asks why the same
criticism is not aimed at the need to wash the body
daily!
This is your opportunity to place
in your mind, and in your education library, a
series of auditory sharing’s from one of the truly
wise and competent coaches, so rarely heard amongst
the clutter of over-inflated mainstream marketing.

Mitchell - I loved the interview! For me, to
hear all that I’ve studied from KSI stated from
an experiential and practical point of view, the
end user athlete, is a wonderful kickoff to your
audio series. I’ve been absorbed in the
abstract of theory quite long such that the
concretes from your athlete in terms of results,
before and after KSI, were very dramatic.

One thing grabbed me, Mitch, a 1 ½ hr.
stretching session before lower body w/o? My
KSI educated guess would be that was what this
particular athlete needed at that particular
time?
-
Looking forward to your series in the coming New
Year, Mitchell.
