Are you numb to losing? I think I was.
I recently entered a speaking competition and lost.
It had been a long time since I knew, flat out that I had lost to someone. And the loss I had in a contest was a rude awakening - I LOSTā¼ļø
No excuses, I got beat.
When you want to reach your goal so bad you can taste it nothing can quench your thirst but achieving the goal.
ā¼ļøI didnāt mean to do it but it happened again.
I coasted in August instead ofā¦
grinding hard on my goals.
Seven strong month of efforts and
I got comfortable and let my guard down.
It happens. We all do it sometimes.
Are you doing it right now?
But this time I realized it quickly and now Iām back to kicking and fighting to
surpass all my goals.
šÆCan you name at least 10 milestones to adulthood?
Iām struggling on one right now, leaving for collegeš
But sad and proud of him as Iām am, my thoughts go to business.
Even before we had him, I knew nearly every milestone needed to be an adult.
ā¼ļøLinkedIn bullies existā¼ļøSurprised too? But no bully can stop me.
Johnās comment only fired me up even more to help peoplešÆ
Iām sorry his life is such that he needed to resort to bullying and lashing out at me for trying to help others.
šŖš¼My son needed a motivation talk (aka a kick in the butt)
He was letting himself down which is far worse than letting me down
He was not performing as well as he could for his football team and I donāt mean on the field.
Even though right now you may be experiencing an awesome time of growth and more business than youāve ever had, you canāt stop doing the fundamentals to keep growth.
Thereās no promise this period of prosperity will be here tomorrow and itās the work you do on your business now that will sustain your growth past the end of the COVID growth spurt.
š My wife stopped me dead in my tracks with a much needed reminder.
I was furious at herš”but she was right....
And I couldnāt be more #thankful to her now
Sometimes we all need to little course correction when our #priorities arenāt right.
š”Each failure brings you closer to the next success.
but quittingā¦
stops the process altogether.
The secret in business no one ever tells you is its constant up and down emotional ride.
Itās often tougher than raising kids.
