(Take your time and read this today. SERIOUSLY.)

Greetings:

One of my Mixed Martial Arts clients is preparing for his first fight and part of his training preparation process includes some water workouts.

Sidebar: with some of my MMA clients who are over 32 years of age I like to prescribe “no impact workouts.” Some days are high impact, some low and some days “no impact.” The example of a “no impact” day is shawdow boxing, film analysis and a pool workout. Its a day where we “improve but don’t bruise.”

Soooooo, one of my clients, who was dealing with an injury needed a lot more “no impact” workouts so I created a water workout for him where he had to just tread water.

Here’s what he told me:

“Dr. Ferguson, I almost died. I can swim but I’m not comfortable in the water. Can we do something else.”

My reply:

“I’m glad that you are uncomfortable. Waterwork is an acquired taste. Take the time to acquire it and get used to it. Just think about being caught in a guillotine or in the mount and you have to relax, think, and get out. Use this as an opportunity to get comfortable with discomfort. Just get tough ad just learn to get used to it.”

He said:

“But I think I might drown.”

My reply:

“DrownING, is okay. DrownED is not okay. Make sure you are drowning when the life guard gets you and you haven’t drowned. LOL!”

We both laughed because he knows he wasn’t drowning and I knew it too. ;)

#################
Getting Comfortable
With Being Uncomfortable
##################

In the past 4 weeks I think I have been to 13 different schools providing motivational talks to the student athletes with the Navy SEALS AND THE LuBear marketing firm. It has been fantastic, draining and enlightening. :) (sidebar: I miss my wife and kids)

One of the common threads from all of the speeches and lessons provided was one of embracing discomfort.

Look, let’s be honest here.

Its tough to love something or someone that is hard to love.

It easy to love a beautiful person, but hard to love one that is an “eye challenge.”

Its easy to love chocolate cake and ice cream, but hard to love sprinting up a hill. And its easy to love a soft couch but hard to love the feeling of a rock in your shoe.

Discomfort sucks! But I don’t think that I can think of one noteworthy achievement that comes without it, but I can tell you what kills the achievement.

It is this…….

When you FOCUS on the discomfort instead of embracing it and accepting it as the toll to ride on the turnpike of success.

Simply put, don’t focus on the labor pain, focus on the baby..

So today’s lesson is clear.

Use it, apply it and EMBRACE it.

Take care.

(rough morning) Turn Your Frustration Into A Chance For Growth

Hello,

As many of you know.

I really enjoy getting up early in the morning and doing my workout
and also getting in some morning devotion time with my wife.

It’s my little slice of heaven.

Well, WHEN WAS SOMEBODY WHO HAS MORE THAN ONE KID
GOING TO LET ME IN ON THE LITTLE SECRET!!!!

ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

I woke up this morning and my daughter, Rhadi was just having
a good ole time in her room, jumping about. And I had to check
in on her because I knew she needed a diaper change. So I changed
her diaper and, then guess who comes around the corner?

That’s right.. my main man Rufus.

So now the morning run is not happening. I’m behind time and
have a flight to catch. (I’m writing this email because my morning
email was already a planned time. I try to plan out my day the night
before…. but of course I didn’t plan entertaining the kids at 6:45am!)

So instead of getting frustrated.

I thanked God for the health of my children. I changed a diaper, made
a bottle of milk, got Rufus some chocolate milk and switched up my
workout routine. It wasn’t what I wanted to do but I had to look at it
as a training exercise on refusing to be frustrated and looking for
every reason to be happy.

I know, I know, that’s tough to do and I fail at it MISERABLY, but I
too am always trying to repel my Chump Moments.

==================
Check Out Today’s Coffee

==================
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FOR PRIVATE SEMINAR
IN BOCA
==================

I will be holding a private seminar in Boca Raton, Florida in my home
on the training, preparing and creation of a MMA Fighter. We will cover
training, weight cutting, marketing, and everything in between. I will
show you the exact blueprint that I used to get on Showtime after only
3 fights and to have 2 MMA contracts from a major organization at the
same time.

We will ALSO go over various aspects of MMA Contracts so you can
get the inside scoop and be aware of what you need to look out for.

And of course we will get on the mat and I will provide you with some
quality techniques you can go home with. All in all it will be an amazing
time and I will be open, ALL DAY for your questions.

Remember there are only 3 spots available and I will make this opportunity
available to the public on the 4th of April.

If you have any questions about the Private Seminar With Dr. Ferguson please
email me at info@rhadi.com

Closing

Take care and have a great day and please remember to
get your hands on Chump Repellent if you haven’t done so
already.

Thank you very much.

So, I was having Dinner With Rashad Evans and I thought….

Auto Date Friday, March 25th, 2011

Greetings:

I hope you are having a super fantastic day.

This morning, I slept in!!! No Workout Today!!!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrggggghhhh, my body is just beat down from
all of the travel and the last thing that I want to do is get sick.
So today… I’m chilling.

I woke up this morning and took Rufus to school and also
packed my daughter Rhadi the car and went grocery shopping.

My daughter is getting big and my main man Rufus is getting
ready for his 5 year old birthday party. (If I had hair, I’d pull it out) LOL.

Right now, as I type, my main Rashad Evans is training in Fort
Lauderdale and he and his Coach, Mike Van Arsdale are prepping
for their upcoming fight with Jon Jones.

I flew in town for a moment to meet up with Rashad and Van Arsdale
and we sat down and had dinner, talked and just hung out.

After dinnner we stopped by my home in Boca and continued to chat
it up along with Rashad’s boxing Coach. And I couldn’t help think to myself,
“Man wouldn’t it be fantastic to just sit at a table and just talk about
Mixed Martial Arts, athlete development, athlete preparation, contracts,
the insider MMA information, how to prepare, how to scout the competition,
how to develop a brand, market position, etc.,.

I remember the last time that I did an exclusive seminar at my home for 2 days
for $4997, I had such a HARD time getting people to give testimonials.

One person, whose initials are J.F. told me flat-out, “I DON’T WANT ANYBODY
ELSE KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW SO I’M JUST GONNA BE HONEST WITH
YOU. I DON’T WANT TO GIVE YOU A TESTIMONIAL!”

LOL

I laughed, but he was dead-ass serious!

He has since been a returning client and his son has been winning every tournament
that he’s entered! The little dude even gave me one of him medals in a glass encasing
that I have in my living room at my home in Tampa ;-)

===============
Here’s The Most
Important Thing
================

In May at my home in Boca Raton, Florida I am going to do a 2-day intensive
seminar where I will teach until I need to sleep or until you need to sleep. We will start on
Saturday morning and end on Sunday at 4pm so you can catch a flight out.

We will have dinner Friday night if you choose to fly in early. You WILL BE WITH ME.

I will pick you up from the airport, take you to your hotel and pick up up in the morning.

WE WILL BE LEARNING NON-STOP!!!!

If you have a problem with paying attention or digesting a lot of information, well…. this might
not be for you. I will be accessible to you and I will make myself available for 3 weekends following
the seminar for “Red Hot Calls”. Meaning, you will have 15 minutes with me, privately on the phone
to ask anything from the seminar which you have questions about.

Now, here’s what I AM NOT GOING TO DO.

I’m not going to BEG you in order to give you something that is priceless.

I’m not going to short change you, I over deliver- ALL THE TIME.

I’m not going to lie to you. I will tell you the absolute truth.

I am ONLY ACCEPTING 3 PEOPLE FOR the “Weekend With Dr. Ferguson”. We will cover strategic positioning
on and off the mat and I will even answer your internet marketing questions (since that is a huge part of it
as well) ;-)

It just pains me to see some of the mistakes that many of these fighters make. Just hurtful.

Soooo…….. if you are at all interested, please just email me at info@rhadi.com and let me know if you have
any questions.

Once the 3 spots are gone, they are gone. I will open up the gate for the 3 slots on April 4th.

================
Coffee With Rhadi
will resume on Monday
================

On Monday, I’m going to drop some science on “Coffee With Rhadi”. Make sure you check your email on
Monday.

Greetings:

Last night was absolutely fantastic. I had a motivational speaking event at Chowan University. It was absolutely fantastic because their football team was 3-7 last season. That’s 3 wins and 7 losses and that is one of the best seasons that they’ve ever had.

This year alone I have spoken to 12 college football teams. I’ve spoken to the football team of Stanford University before their 2011 game in the Orangve Bowl and I’ve also spoken at Chowan University, a 3 and 7 football team.

I have given a DIFFERENT speech at each and every outing and the reason for this is because each team requires a
different approach.

Last night at Chowan University, I had to really drive home the point of being a TEAM and the importance of developing as an individual while at the appropriate time knowing when to kill the individualism so that a championship team can be birthed.

It was a conversation and speech about dedication and perception, about the audacity of hope and the reality of work, about believing in order to receive but not feeling like you are entitled. It was great discourse on sacrifice and seeding and gambling and gamesmanship.

All in all the students left the auditorium with a new sense of empowerment and newfound knowledge about what it takes to be a Champion and how to stop being a Chumpion.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
I Was Most Impressed
When……
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

I think what impressed me the most was when the teams Strength and Conditioning Coch came up to me and said, “one of the professors from our physical education department told me that I had to come over here to meet you.”

I truly love helping and being of service. And helping people enhance their lives is a great feeling and quite honestly a huge responsibility. At this particular time in my life I find myself at a crossroads pregnant with options and possibilities and I am loving it. Now more than ever I can clearly see the power of being still and praying and waiting on the divine ordering of my steps while arduously working on projects which are in harmony with the personal growth of others and the financial growth of my family.

I have some monumental decisions to make and I feel awesome about the path which I am getting ready to walk because…. quite honestly, I’m PREPARED.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
New And Exciting
Stuff
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

I am thinking about doing a private and exclusive coaching weekend at my home where I will cover the development and training of an MMA Athlete. I will not only cover the nuts and bolts of the training but I will also provide you with the formula of how I fought on Showtime after only having 2 fights.

There’s a lot that goes into MMA. Its not just about fighting well. I’m sure you all know that there are tons of fighters out there better than me and there are tons better than Tito Ortiz, so although its about being good, there’s more to it than that.

I also want to share some of the biggest mistakes MMA fighters make when it comes to training and also let you in on some of the inside tools I use to help my clients prepare for events.

If you would be interested in such a private and exclusive seminar please email me and let me know. It will not be cheap. The information is the best-in-class. We will dine at some of the finest restaurants in Boca Raton, do the seminars at my personal home in Boca and we will have a great time while learning the real deal about MMA and preparing for a fight THE RIGHT WAY!

I will also have some UFC and MMA fighters in the room so that you can ask any queston that you may like. This is not only a chance to rub elbows with some of the best fighters in the world but also a chance to learn how to skyrocket and slingshot your MMA and fighting career. This is for coaches and/or fighters ONLY. I’m only accepting 3 people for this opportunity.

I will show YOU EXACTLY how the sh– is done. If interested, shoot me an email to info@rhadi.com

Greetings.

I hope you are having a great day.

Mine started early this morning with emails and article writing.
I’m trying to get some scholarly articles published this year and this task is
hectic and cumbersome. It outside of the norm for me.

Most of my writing is colloquial and persuasive and I’ve gotten pretty good at
that because I’ve had much practice at it. Academic writing, on the other hand,
is about as exciting as watching paint dry and I DO NOT have the amount of
practice in that area as I should and it is uncomfortable doing something new
at first but I must do it.

And that brings me to my point today.

A while back I posted a Coffee With Rhadi Video on the title of
“Encouragement and Support” and I spoke about doing some things that
are uncomfortable until they either get comfortable or you just get
used to doing them.

I’ve issued out this video more than once. This is probably my 3rd time.

And here’s what I want you to know.

==================
PLEASE DO THIS
==================

If you have not yet watched this video… WATCH IT!

If you have watched this video, WATCH it again, and then pass it along to a friend.

This video has over 10,000 views for a reason. It’s because the information is quality.

Please take the time to view it. The message is quite good and will honestly help you.

And……(its phree) :-) And I know how much you love phree stuff.

Introduction
===============

I have 2 kids.

One just turned 1 year old.

And one, my main man Rufus, is turning 5 years old in April.

The rough thing about April, if you remember, is that my birthday
is on the 3rd, Rufus’s birthday is on the 5th and my wife, Traci’s
birthday is on the 8th.

We coined our birthday time “Three-Fifty-Eight” .358 caliber bullet
because we recognize that we have to knock all of these birthday’s out
with “one-shot” LOL.

So April will be ANOTHER birthday celebration,with another GINORMOUS sale.

==============
Of What?
===============

Well, because my main man Rufus does Judo, I’m going to offer one of my
Judo products that I snatched off the market which I will be offering again.

Judo Scouting Reports!

People absolutely loved this product and then I pulled it off the market in order to create a
“soft”, green and downloadable version of Judo Scouting Reports.

So, as we prepare for Rufus’s birthday, I will keep you informed and let you know how
much money my wife spends on this one ;-/ If we keep going at this rate, we’ll be on
MTV doing the “why do you spend so much money on your kid’s party” birthday show.

You know the one I’m talking about.
