Preparation: TV’s vs. Treadmills

Life doesn’t bring you successful moments. It brings you moments with the opportunity for your successful navigation.

Your role in success is in the preparation.

At some point the moment of inspiration will hit, an opportunity will present itself, or you’ll land on the spot lit stage to experience, perform, or produce something successful.

It’s precisely at that moment we will notice where you, your mind, and your actions have been over time.

We all live in a proverbial gym. Don’t let the tv’s distract you from the treadmill.

What’s Your Sport?

What’s your sport?

Sales? Web-design? Marketing? The culinary arts? Book writing? Song writing? Leadership?

If you look at those around you who are having success, and you allow yourself to see them as athletes, it’s easy to see why they’re winning.

Dream. Train. Prepare. Execute. Measure. Repeat.
