Mind and Motivation: "We Become What We Think About, Most Of The Time..."
Mindset and motivation are critical aspects in forging a lean physique. Earl Nightingale said, "The strangest secret is that we become what we think about, most of the time." It all begins in the mind. Thought is the cause. Behavior is the effect. We think, and with those thoughts, we create. In The Inner Circle Mind And Motivation department, you will find information and resources that will teach you how to set and achieve goals, help you direct your thoughts, sharpen your mental imagery, train your mind, transform your self-image and develop the mental strength needed to create the body and health of your dreams.

Instead of Making Resolutions Set S.M.A.R.T.E.R. Goals
By Tom Venuto
Why do new year's resolutions usually fail? Why do you start with guns blazing on January 1st, but by February, you're losing motivation, cheating on your diet, skipping workouts, and slipping back into old patterns? The dictionary definition of resolution is the mental state or quality of being resolved; a firm determination. With the arrival of every New Year, however, resolution usually ends up meaning "to re-solve." . . .

By Chris Willitts
Want to maximize your strength training, your body and your life…like Tom? Then take a break, sit quietly and relax! That is, don't limit your definition (or development) of strength to the physical.

Here's why . . .

Looking Out For #1: Why It's So Important To Be "Appropriately Selfish"
By Tom Venuto
When Oprah Winfrey wrote her famous article about her weight control struggles, writers and bloggers everywhere grabbed their keyboards to jump into the fray of speculation about why she's had such a hard time managing her weight. Because weight control is a complex problem, spanning across every area of a person's life, there were probably many reasons. However, Oprah wrote something in her own article that leaped off the page, at least it did for me, about why she thought she gained the weight back. It's very likely that you might be doing the same thing and it not only leads to weight relapse, it could kill you... . . .

By George, that Venuto guy isn't a dumb bodybuilder after all - he's been doing his research!" At which moment, I will be shaking my head and thinking, you need to get out of the lab and into the real world, with real people, buddy." To be fair, Neuro-endocrine control of appetite and body fat really is fascinating. But today, I'm talking about PSYCH-ology, not PHYSI-ology.

Does Sharing Your Goals Make You Less Likely To Achieve Them?
Tom Venuto
Conventional wisdom says that we should tell our friends our goals because that will create accountability and positive peer pressure.

Citing psychology research from New York University, Sivers claims that telling someone your goals makes them less likely to happen. According to this research, our minds can be tricked into believing that talking about something is the same as doing something. What's the real truth? Click Here to find out... . . .

| Here's what people are saying about Burn The Fat and the Inner Circle...
"Tom Venuto is a credible, qualified professional who knows his stuff. More than that, he has a genuine concern for the people he's helping. His "Inner Circle" is a premier quality resource - well worth the money, and a benefit to anyone, anywhere, of any age who is trying to lose weight. I highly recommend it!"
Paul Crane, UltimateFatBurner.com
"I just listened to the first "Burn the Fat Show" and this one 20-minute message is at the top of my list. I have motivational CD's and books coming out the wazoo and you've set a standard in your show that I look forward to listening to again and again. Keep up the GREAT work!"."
Steve Wiebusch
The support here is incredible for my morale. I'm excited about the inches I've lost. In the past when I'd get halfway there, I'd lose motivation and quit. I've never made it this far and still felt motivated to keep going. "
Rikki Fougere
"I have many people everyday ask me what my secret is and how I lost 137 pounds. I tell them the same thing - I use Tom Venuto's Burn The Fat - Feed The Muscle program and it all boils down to "How bad do you want it?"
Mike Ogorek
"I've been following the Burn The Fat recommendations and I now fit into a pair of jeans that I havent worn in a long time. The Salvation Army must love me these days, as I've liberated 12 clothes hangers and two shelves of oversized clothes since New Years!"
