The best thing about a Performance Lifestyle is that in a truly short time, it brings together an entire integrated suite of essential shifts, mind settings, lifestyle skills, habits, routines, and rituals
A master lifestyle strategy that could otherwise take a very long time to just to connect the dots; let alone, learn the theory, put into practice, and master.
Many people spend 10, 20, 30 years just learning how to eat, or meditate, or figure out their life purpose—the core, burning ambition that drives them to do everything else.
But if you spent decades of years on each of those things—and all the other aspects of lifestyle that you need to handle in order to optimize yourself for full-capacity, capable living—it would take well over 100 years!
What’s more, it would cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in education and training—and the lost time in trial-and-error detours.
A Performance Lifestyle is robust and comprehensive—but it doesn’t make more out of things than they need to be.
Instead, it streamlines and simplifies the process of living a radiantly healthy, enviably successful life.
It boils down to the essentials and delivers them in a context that is whole, makes sense, and powerfully inspires you to engage them.
This entire holistic set of essential lifestyle practices can be something that takes years or even decades to learn and truly embody. It took me, now a lifestyle Coach JAM—John Allen Mollenhauer—at least 25 years—through study, teaching, experimentation, and my own experience as an athlete and business owner, with an eye that was focused on developing a whole new approach to performance.
And while the idea of a Performance Lifestyle was born in elite athletics (1%’ers) I developed it as an idea that everyday achievers—entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals, executives, managers, and sales pros, who are also likely working parents, sports enthusiasts and creatives with great demands on their time and energy 365 days a year—could apply in their own lives
When Performance Lifestyle® Academy Founder, John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM” first discovered it, he thought, “why aren’t the other 99% of people (including myself) living this way?”
So that’s why we passionately promote this vital, unique path to achieving your highest goals in life, business, or sport—with superior health and well-being intact.
It’s also why for more than two decades, through our own practice, research and inquiry, and teaching/coaching hundreds of others, with the help of a world-class science advisory team) JAM and the team have been identifying and refining the balance of lifestyle habits that deliver the energy, health for high-performance people who want and need to succeed.
Today, our team and inspire, educate, and support achievers to develop a Performance Lifestyle they can call their own to look, feel, and perform brilliantly.
- You’ll discover these fundamentals in as much time as it takes you to get through this blueprint.
- You can integrate them into your life relatively fast, but to take them from theory to practice to master, and become proficient, it will take you at least 1 year to change, and improve the way you live.
- It’s why as part of your membership in the Performance Lifestyle Academy, we include “a year in the life”—the monthly themes around the 12 fundamentals, a weekly schedule, and daily actions so that they become the foundation of how you live. For those that want to “optimize” they simply stay engaged with the year in the life for as long as they want and take the deep dive courses (as they become) available so they become an expert in Performance Lifestyle.Meanwhile, the minute you start to apply any one aspect of what you learn in this manual you’ll feel the difference immediately.
This is the life you’ve known deep down is possible—but that has eluded you until now.
You’ll no longer be held back from your goals, your dreams, or life itself back by stress, lack of endurance or stamina, energy deficits, sleep issues, negative psychology, insufficient support, lack of balance, or unclear expectations or purpose.
You’ll be charging and recharging on every cylinder, with every part of your lifestyle working in a seamless and harmonious concert.
You’ll know your goals and your game with crystal clarity. And you’ll know how to plan, perform, and achieve—with ease and full confidence, and peace of mind.
In a performance lifestyle, harnessing and maintaining vitality to sustain healthy performance is the number one objective. And there are more, as you learn to optimize each and every aspect of your lifestyle.
When you have the skills to live in balance, with the vibrant health and peace of mind that results from a fully developed lifestyle supporting your performance, you stop making goals out of improving your lifestyle. Instead, you’re driven to improve your lifestyle so you can focus on your real goals in life without being distracted and held back by hidden lifestyle challenges.
The idea of living a performance lifestyle comes from the world of elite athletics. But you don’t have to be a sports or fitness enthusiast to benefit wildly from the same approach. By restructuring your lifestyle to consciously and meticulously close any performance gaps, you can turn your downward spiral into low energy and poor health into fluid forward motion with a focus on your success.
Start where you are.
Everyone has unique needs, desires, and challenges. The Performance Lifestyle approach starts with you assessing your current energy levels, what your lifestyle is like lifestyle and the level you are at present to give you the information you need to efficiently and effectively move forward in your lifestyle training.
No matter what your present situation looks like, participating in this essential lifestyle training will help you restore your energy, get healthy again or at a higher level and optimize your lifestyle so you can perform better than ever with a focus on your goals.
Living a performance lifestyle can help you rise again, potentially higher than you ever thought possible.
The key is to start with the right objectives in mind so that you build a solid foundation for the future and not move forward too far too fast.
You must resolve hidden lifestyle challenges first and then evolve to proficiency so you can begin to think and live like an athlete to achieve your goals.
You engage in this process, one transformational training at a time, each month to resolve your hidden lifestyle challenges across the board so that you can begin living in a way that supports your energy, health, and performance capacity.
Level 1: You have many challenges to resolve so you don’t expect proficiency from the start, you emphasize competency.
Level 2: You have already resolved the challenge, you’re focused on proficiency across all performance lifestyle skills.
Level 3: You have proficiency, now you’re focused on optimization while achieving even your most ambitious goals.
Even lifestyle change requires energy, so as the” Year in the Life” kicks off, you will have access to the “deep dive” course Manage Your Energy Like a Pro. This will do more to give rise to your lifestyle, more than any other performance lifestyle skill.
Start where you are.
What Inspires the Rise of a New Lifestyle?
The rise of this new lifestyle—the balanced and healthy Performance Lifestyle, prioritizes making sure you have enough energy supply to meet and exceed the energy demands in your life and no longer living out of sync with your biology. It includes but goes way beyond eating healthy and exercising and simply trying to get more sleep. It will prompt you to approach life very differently and more skillfully.
You’ll no longer be tired all the time, and this provides a new and even brighter outlook that inspires you to improve each and every aspect of how you live, for life.
Taking care of your health will be a given, as you’re now even more motivated to focus on your goals in life, and business, and maybe even a sport with an approach that’s more like the mindset and lifestyle of an athlete.
It starts with learning how to Manage Your Energy Like a Pro.
So you know how to proactively source, enhance the production of, and harness more energy than you are used to living with.
Understanding Your Performance Blueprint: It’s a Lifestyle.
These six, science-backed principles and practices will clear the confusion over what it takes to live with optimal energy levels, and steer clear of overwhelm and constant fatigue; including an approach to optimal eating and exercising that emphasizes energy first.
Any approach to life that does not originate from that core premise is doomed to stall and eventually fail.
When you have this premise at the core of your approach to life, becoming proficient in the lifestyle skills that help you proactively direct your energy for personal performance and success, now becomes relevant, meaningful and actionable.
Yes, even the act of taking care of yourself and your body requires energy, even before you factor in what you’re up to in your life with your work, your family, and your creativity.
Did you ever get trained on the skills for living with optimal energy levels? It’s likely you didn’t and it was left up to you to figure it out and most haven’t. They just assumed that 7-9 hours in bed was enough to keep their energy high and it not.
Well, this is the training few of any of us ever had. Performance Lifestyle offers the most complete and effective energy (lifestyle) management system available. It has-never-been assembled before, until now.
Optimizing Your Lifestyle for Energy, Health, and Performance
Once you’ve learned how to live with optimal energy levels, now the 12 Performance Lifestyle skills are even more relevant, meaningful and actionable as now you know what you’re managing first and for most in your lifestyle. These are the lifestyle habits you need to know to have the energy, health, and performance of a pro—someone who is proficient in living for life.
They give you the essentials skills for unlocking your body/brain’s superpowers so you can perform at the level you choose.
By training yourself one essential 30-day transformation at a time, or committing to the full PLife365® Training System, you’ll resolve the hidden lifestyle challenges that distract and hold you back from living the fulfilling life you want.
When you do, you will evolve with the new lifestyle mindset and skills set for living balanced and healthy successfully.
And with the rise of this new lifestyle, you’ll achieve even your most ambitious goals better than you ever have before because you’ll start to approach your life with the mindset and lifestyle of an athlete, even if you’re not into sports or even a fitness enthusiast.
Here’s How You Get Started
Everything we’re talking about here can be accomplished with an investment of about 30-60 minutes a day (dispersed throughout the day) and for less than $1-2 a day over the course of a year, and that’s the comprehensive plan.
After all, if you’re spending less than one hour a day taking care of yourself, your body and your life, you’ve got a serious issue with priorities. ;-) This is “life” we’re talking about and how you live (your lifestyle) is the foundation of it all, so keep this in perspective.
You need to sleep for 30% of your life just to begin with, so learning how to optimize the other 70% for maximum life performance takes more than one hour a day. That is life. I’m just talking about the learning part, so you can get it and get on with your life.
You can engage to any extent you choose, even if that’s only one 30-day transformational training at a time or join PLife365® Performance Training System for the full Performance Lifestyle curriculum.
The payoff is simple either way. It will save you up to 20 years or more of your life, time and energy, let alone a boatload of money as you try to sort through the confusion in the market and connect the dots to become that energy efficient, healthy and effective person you know you are capable of.
Some people spend up to 20 years just learning how to eat! Yikes!
But with our 30-day transformation training called Eat Whole Foods, Nutrient Rich, for example, we’ll take you to the heart of this aspect of living so you know the most successful way to eat for you. One thing is for sure, it will be “nutrient-rich.”
And that’s just 8.33% of the lifestyle equation. Just imagine when you have a new level of mastery across all the essential aspects of lifestyle!
Performance Lifestyle training isn’t limited to the usual cast of characters (nutrition, and fitness) alone. It includes them of course but then goes far beyond as well to teach you the whole lifestyle approach to optimal performance.
It starts with understanding your current energy state and the most important lifestyle skill you can learn—how to proactively Regenerate Your Life Force Energy. This is module 1 and sleep is only part of this powerful lifestyle strategy.
You can search and learn more about Module 1 and all other Essential life performance trainings below.
Regenerate Your Life Force
Are you low on power, drinking cup after cup of coffee to battle your persistent fatigue? That’s how you build up an energy debt that saps your body of its innate life force. Energy is the foundation of health and performance. When you spend more than you recuperate, you can’t perform at the top of your game. In this course, you’ll discover how to increase your overall energy and achieve peak levels when needed.
Eat Nutrient-Rich Whole Foods
Nutrient-rich foods are essential to energy, health, and performance. Discover why superfoods are a cornerstone of optimal nutrition and how you can eat more whole, plant-based, nutrient-rich foods in ways that work for you. In this module, you’ll learn the 3 Classes of Food™, the 5 key attributes of health-promoting foods, and how to transition to eating in a way that’s healthy and convenient for your lifestyle.
Activate and Strengthen Your Body
A body that is fit for generating and regenerating the power it needs can succeed amidst the physical and mental rigors of goal achievement. Building momentum through a structured but flexible fitness strategy that respects your present situation and focuses on preparing for events will inspire you to train and sustain a fit body. In this course, you’ll learn how to activate and strengthen your body with proven techniques used by professional athletes.
Tell a Supportive and Optimistic Story
Your personal story has been developing since childhood and is connected to your ancestral history. How you frame your story is a primary determinant of your psychological self-esteem, how others perceive you, how you experience your energy, and how well you perform. In this course, you’ll discover how projecting a real, but positive, personal narrative attracts productive, valuable relationships, as well as how your story can change when you optimize your lifestyle.
Own Your Schedule
Energy and time are your two most precious assets. They are both infinite and finite at the same time, so it’s important to manage these resources effectively to optimize your health, performance, and productivity. Your schedule is key to your success and quality of life. In this module, you’ll learn how to manage time like a pro, free of the distractions that hold you back.
Streamline and Simplify Your Life
It is easy to get overwhelmed by the numerous competing responsibilities flooding your life. By streamlining and simplifying your life, you can minimize distractions and free up more energy, time, and space to live better and execute on your goals. In this module, you’ll learn the difference between simplifying your life and streamlining for flow, efficiency, and productivity, as well as top strategies for accomplishing both.
Discover What’s Driving You
At the most fundamental level, you are pure motivation. But without adequate energy to power your drive, you can still end up stagnant. In this training, you’ll discover what motives are truly driving you. Plus, you’ll learn how to use your brain with precision, stay in the zone for long periods of time, and manage all external drivers from a position of objective clarity.
Expand Your Awareness and Development
Many people rely on the power of their individual brains and personas to navigate the world. But when you lose sight of the immense awareness you can access, share, and increase in genuine relationships with others, you limit your own potential. In this course, you will learn about the stages of development and how to expand your awareness to be more inclusive, so you can remove resistance, free your energy, and give yourself the larger perspective you need to succeed.
Build Financial Support and Team
A lifestyle can only be successful if you have enough support to mitigate common setbacks and challenges. Establishing financial stability and a team to support you must be deeply embedded in your overall strategy. In this module, you will learn how to build structural, functional, and relationship-based support that empowers you to unleash your potential and live with positive accountability and reinforcement because you are no longer solely responsible for everything.
Declare Your Direction and Strategy
Access to information and opportunity is greater than ever before in human history. But without a core strategy, it is easy to be scattered in too many directions, leaving your energy diffused and ineffective. Athletes organize their lives around game plans that are based on best practices and experience. In this training, you will learn how to identify your direction and create a strategic plan with built-in lifestyle support that enables you to achieve your goals.
Know Your Game
If you don’t know your objectives and goals—and the difference between the two—then you probably don’t have a game plan for how to succeed. Without knowing how to play your game and how to achieve your goals, you’ll do a lot of running around with minimal results. In this course, you’ll take a step back and figure out what game you are playing, whether you know how to play, whether you want to play, and how you can win.
Serve Others
Few acts in life have the potential to build momentum faster than the intentional act of serving others. Service engages you and offers opportunities to learn and practice skills you can apply in your family and in your career. In this module, you’ll delve into the greater good that inspires the work you do and increases your motivation and drive to maintain standards of excellence.
Essential 30-Day Transformation Training(s) will teach you how to habitualize a comprehensive routine for each essential lifestyle skill, so you can better achieve your goals and uplevel your life performance.
In addition, they will guide you in how to navigate The 3 levels of lifestyle Transformation™ incrementally and positively in a relentlessly busy, soon-to-be-less confusing world. The premier transformational training is again called Regenerate Your Life Force Energy. It’s the best place to start. All other lifestyle habits if you’re going to do them well, depend on this skill.
You can then build upon this first pillar of performance lifestyle by taking additional Essentials training until you have completed all twelve to give rise to the new lifestyle you can call your own.
The other option is that you can commit to the whole multi-dimensional approach to living in balance with vibrant health and peace of mind by joining the PLife365—Performance Training System, in which case you will also receive Performance Living 101 at no additional cost to you.
