“Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” – Nelson Mandela
Tim Storey is a legendary life coach, author, and spiritual adviser. Through his humanitarian work in 75 countries, Tim has changed the lives of millions of people and helped them adopt their “Miracle Mentality.”
Whether one-on-one or to audiences of 85,000, Tim has been able to connect on a personal level with people of all walks of life, from entertainment executives, celebrities, and professional athletes, to adults and children in neighborhoods throughout the US and in the most deprived and war-torn regions of the world.
Some of the well-known individuals who Tim has coached include Robert Downey, Jr., Sean “Diddy” Combs, Charlie Sheen, Oprah Winfrey, and Kanye West.
Tim is a regular guest and commentator on national television. He’s been interviewed on Oprah, Steve Harvey, and Good Morning America, and his story was featured in my book Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy.
In this episode:
What the “Miracle Mentality” is and how it can change your life
The biggest thing stopping people from stepping into their greatness
What Tim has learned from coaching some of the world’s most impactful people; and

141. 17 Lessons from Turning 40 Years Old 🥳 | Win the Day Wednesday with James Whittaker (Win the Day podcast)
“How sad to see a father with money and no joy. The man studied economics, but never studied happiness.” — Jim Rohn
Announcement: I'm heading to Australia for my first public speech in almost five years 🤯
And I want to see you there...
Join me LIVE in Brisbane on Friday, 14th July. Tickets and more info:
👉 https://events.humanitix.com/the-springboard-and-co-presents-wintheday-with-james-whittaker
It's going to be a lot of fun.
__
In this minisode:
A few weeks ago I turned 40 years old...
Turning 40 is the first age where you really start to think about yourself in the bigger picture: health, family, legacy.
You also become increasingly attuned to the habits that have created your reality – good and bad. It makes you more motivated to lean into the good habits you have and eliminate the bad habits you have, all through a focus of making that bigger picture – health, family, legacy – a little bit brighter.
So, without further ado, here are my 17 lessons from turning 40…
Keep winning,
James

135. Prepare and then Perform 🚴♀️ | Win the Day Wednesday with James Whittaker (Win the Day podcast)
“If you can’t control your day, you can’t control your life.” – Dr. Jeff Spencer
Welcome back to Win the Day Wednesday!
In Ep 134, I sat down with Dr. Jeff Spencer, who has worked with the most elite performers in the world. He’s not only an Olympian himself, but has helped athletes win over 40 gold medals, cycling teams to eight Tour De France victories, and has worked with people like Tiger Woods, Richard Branson, the band U2, Maria Sharapova, Nike, Hitachi, Bulletproof, and so many others.
And there’s one quote that he shared during our interview that I can’t stop thinking about: “The champion’s golden rule: first, you prepare. Then you perform.”
It's so simple but so powerful.
In this minisode, we're going delve into the blueprint that Dr. Spencer uses to help champions prepare — so you'll be ready to dominate at your next big performance.
Enjoy...
