Over the past 20 years I have worked as an engineer, project manager and director in many industries: petroleum, insurance, human resources, petrochemicals, computers and communications. Each industry has Best Practices developed by great leaders for ensuring the long term success of their organizations.

In 1998, I enrolled on the MBA program at the University of Victory (UVic) because I wanted to gain the business, management and leadership skills that could strengthen my work and increase the earnings in my business. MBA is all about how to successful manage a business. It gives you detailed knowledge about every planning, researching, financing and successfully managing a business.

During the course, 'Entrepreneurship 411', taught by Dr. Ron Mitchell, we learned that although a degree of luck is involved in the ultimate success or failure of any new venture, there are certain practices that can be applied during the evaluation and development stages of a new business to increase its potential, and to improve greatly its probability of ultimate success!

This amazed me. I thought, "If this guy's business practices work so well that business success is virtually guaranteed in less than five years, I want to know what he knows, and more!"

Thus began a fascinating and financially rewarding journey. My goal was to compile the best practices from the most successful people in the history of the world, and to apply them to my business.

During these intense years of full-time studies, I had the opportunity to read hundreds of books. One that especially stands out for me is Obvious Adams, the story of a marketing genius. This book was written in 1916, but the business lessons outlined in this book are just as valid today as they were when they were first written. I credit this book, among a great many others, along with my terrific professors from the Department of Engineering and the MBA program, for the lessons which evolved into a powerful compilation of the best practice from some of the most successful people in the world.

Soon I was getting spectacular results in my business. For the past ten years, using these Best Practices, I have attracted large companies to support my business. Currently I sell my fitness products on TV, in stores, at trade shows, through affiliate programs, at seminars and workshops, and, obviously, on the Internet - 70% of my business is online. People all over the world benefit from the quality, simplicity and effectiveness of my products.

And so, for the reasons outlined above, my decision to earn an MBA was the most important decision I've made on my journey to personal and business success.

And your decision as to whether or not you adopt Best Practices is indeed going to be the most important decision you ever make. Why? Because by learning the best practices from successful people, you will unleash faculties and dormant forces within you that will support your personal success and happiness.

I know this first hand. I have had the joy and gratification of personally helping thousands of people as a result of following Best Practices, the same Best Practices you will learn and adopt, day-by-day following The Core Challenge.

I wish you much prosperity in your journey, my friend.

My Very Best to You,

Oswaldo Koch

Successful people have a certain type of personality. Successful people think in a particular way, talk in a particular way and act in a particular way. This way of thinking, talking and acting can be learned and developed by anyone who chooses to be successful, including you!

And the longer you put it off, the more you will fall behind those who are committed to being successful. By adopting some of the Best Practices of successful people, you will become one of them by learning how to:

Be Stronger and Live Longer - Fitness Best Practice suggest that fitness will help to strengthen our muscles, sharpen our mind, and improve our creativity and productivity. Fitness is everything from proper sleep to proper nutrition; from stress reduction to weight reduction, and from flexibility to balance and relaxation.

Be Creative and Feel Abundant - Visualization Best Practices suggest that we can use our imagination to see yourselves in a situation that hasn't yet happened. Visualization is picturing ourselves having or doing the things we want, and successfully achieving the results we desire.

Master Your Attitude and Be Prepared - Persistence Best Practices suggest that we have the ability to maintain action regardless of our feelings. This means doing what we have to do to reach our goals, regardless of our emotional state and the circumstances that we are facing.

Be Compassionate and Be a Good Friend - Kindness Best Practices suggest that kindness is one of the highest modalities of human behaviour. One of the greatest feelings in the world is the feeling of kindness that one receives when one gives to another, selflessly, so as to enhance another person's life experience.

Trust in Yourself and Think Like a Genius - Intuition Best Practices suggest that every person has a creative and sensitive mind that is able to perceive the invisible through hunches about future possibilities. Intuition is the ability to know things without the barriers of time, space, or any other obstruction.

Focus on Your Goal and Attract Abundance - Attraction Best Practices suggest that we will attract to ourselves whatever we give our focus, attention, and energy to, whether it is positive or negative. "What we focus on expands" is the result of taking action for attracting the results we want. Another way to say this is "Energy flows where attention goes."

Lead by Example and Be Proactive - Management Best Practices suggest that we can live in a better world if we manage our needs in harmony with nature. Avoiding processed food will reduce waste, save time and money, and protect our environment at the same time. Also, choosing locally produced food reduces the need to move and transport large amounts of unneeded food around the world and therefore reduces pollution.

After having great results with this collection of 100 Best Practices, we reasoned, "If we have produced big profits for ourselves, we should be able to help our clients do the same". To this end we have spent almost several years refining and testing some of the best practices for fitness and prosperity to create an amazing and empowering program that we call The Core Challenge.

I am confident that this fitness contest will help you transform your body and improve your life in every aspect. As a personal coach, having had the opportunity to help many people, I have learned that planning and recording your daily activities is the most important task you can do to ensure your success in any project.

The Core Challenge will help you learn and adopt the 100 Best Practices of Highly Successful People. We will keep you motivated and guide you through the next 100 days.

Our Vision is to make The Core Challenge a valued, tangible, empowering and transformational experience.

If you adopt Best Practices, you too will become successful, and you too will live the life of your dreams. And importantly, you will ensure that your health and fitness are the pillars for sustaining long term success and happiness in your life.

Why is this important?

Because feeling good is a top priority for a successful individual. Feeling strong, meeting objectives and reaching goals are energizing to top achievers. Looking younger and living longer is also very important for top achievers. They can't wait to get to work and see the results of their efforts.

Some people look at successful people and think that they could never do what successful people do. They get discouraged at the size of the gap between what is and what could be.

Other people look at successful people and are inspired. They see successful athletes, successful students and successful professionals as a template or benchmark, and use them as models for what they would like to achieve.

Rather than feel discouraged when you see a successful person, let them inspire you! And when you do succeed, take a minute or two and write to me, explaining your success in as much detail as you can. Why? Because your success story will help other people. And we will be happy to share it with the world.
