Excellent post Mark, quite thought provoking actually.
One thing I would add to that is the improtance of enjoying playing poker. It is all too easy to be clinical about coaching, goals and achievements, but if along the way to your ultimate target, you do not get a level of enjoyment from the journey, then you only make the road a lot tougher to travel.
Sounds like you have a clear poker plan on the horizon, so good luck with meeting those challenges head on.

Excellent point Leigh and it was actually a free video from Nick, that I mention in my first blog post:
"Nick also delivers on the topic of mental game and the only video of his that I have watched to date was pivotal in focusing me back on playing poker, as opposed to clicking buttons. The advice I recall was simply - enjoy playing, enjoy the challenge, and if you don"t then go and do something else where you do."
It was the spark I needed to get focused again. It set me on my way. I have actually kinda not enjoyed playing the last two sessions and was going to take a four day break, but I was presented with a free night last night....and went onto take down a $1.2k GP for $311 from $2 in against 786 players. I think that is, as they say, a bink!

You write very well. Looking forward to see how you get on.
This level of self discipline and attention to detail can only be beneficial - in poker and, more importantly, life in general.
