In a world of low expectations, disappointment, and mediocrity\u2026 filled with over-medicated, over-indulged people struggling to get through their days and stressed beyond belief\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Trevor Blattner refuses to accept average as acceptable, underperformance as understandable, or exhaustion as the expected way to live your life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome to <\/span>The Top 1%<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0 In this world, you\u2019re challenged to step into high expectations, to perform to your maximum potential, become a world-class leader, and live for something larger than yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sounds great, right?\u00a0 But probably a little\u2026 unrealistic?\u00a0 A setup for disappointment for those of us who live in the \u201creal world\u201d?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Full disclosure: Normally I do a formal interview with the hosts I write about for this column.\u00a0 But I didn\u2019t even tell Dr. Blattner I was writing this article when we chatted.\u00a0 (Hey, congrats, you\u2019re being featured in <\/span>Podcast Magazine<\/span><\/i>!)\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A few years ago, I met Trevor at an event I was hosting, and he shared his vision with me.\u00a0 Since then, I\u2019ve seen the real behind the scenes of his business as we\u2019ve masterminded and strategized together.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve watched as he juggles the demands of a seven-figure practice, beautiful family, and growing podcast and coaching business, all the while staying true to his priorities and faith.\u00a0 He\u2019d never tell you it\u2019s easy or without challenges.\u00a0 But he would tell you it\u2019s absolutely worth it, as he sees the impact his pursuit of something beyond mediocrity has on the world around him.<\/span><\/p>\n

And when you go \u201cbeyond the microphone\u201d with this guy, you quickly realize he\u2019s as real and genuine as it gets.\u00a0 His \u201csunny\u201d view of possibilities isn\u2019t because he\u2019s lived a sheltered life or only known success, either. It\u2019s actually quite the opposite.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s rewind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Picture this: you\u2019re a successful three-sport athlete in high school, graduating near the top of your class and going on to earn a 3.98 GPA at a prestigious university. But you\u2019re miserable, waking up every day sick to your stomach with anxiety, struggling with self-doubt, and paralyzed by your perceived failure.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201calpha male\u201d Trevor had been pushed to be didn\u2019t fit who he was.\u00a0 And the inner chaos led to broken relationships, weight gain, and alcohol to numb his emotions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you do when your reality collapses?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re Trevor, you search your soul.\u00a0 Challenge yourself.\u00a0 And you decide to take a <\/span>different <\/span><\/i>path to success.\u00a0 You accept that you\u2019re truly here for a reason, and you can make a positive difference in the world.\u00a0 Then you begin, one step at a time, to build a life that proves it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the next two decades, Trevor dove into the science of next-level success and unlocking human potential.\u00a0 From there, he used what he learned to create and grow his own seven-figure business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through <\/span>The Top 1%<\/span><\/i> podcast, Trevor shares what he\u2019s learned along the way. He brings in guests who\u2019ve achieved success in all areas of life and business to candidly share their keys to breaking out of mediocrity and achieving their wildest dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, despite our tendency to believe that achieving big things comes down to luck, IQ, or being \u201cborn with\u201d gifts, Dr. Blattner\u2019s research contends that five of the common key strengths of super-achievers are actually accessible to all of us:<\/span><\/p>\n

Strength #1: Purpose – Know the primary reason you were born.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Strength #2: Focus – Master the art of intense and unwavering focus.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Strength #3: Self-Confidence – Don\u2019t let challenges stop you from being confident in yourself.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Strength #4: Enthusiasm – Willpower is a limited resource, so get excited.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Strength #5: Specialized Expertise – If you lack specialized expertise, you can\u2019t become a super-achiever!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Most people get stuck at Strength #1.\u00a0 But Trevor\u2019s got a solution!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a simple process for how to discover your life purpose so you can develop all five strengths and rise above mediocrity:<\/span><\/h4>\n

Contemplate the following questions:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• What things do you really love doing?<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n
• What things come very naturally or easy to you?<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n
• What personal qualities do you have that you love to show the world the most?<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  \u201cEverybody has a purpose and mission in life that\u2019s waiting to be discovered,\u201d <\/span><\/i>Trevor says.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

  His message to you:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

  It\u2019s time to find yours, and unleash your top 1%.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
