The Cost of Greatness!
After Noah Lyles won the 100 meter sprint in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, he said “why not me?” during his interview. I was immediately motivated to charge for my next goal. The next day, the reporter asked 200 meter gold medalist Gabby Thomas how she did it, she said, “a lot of work”! Wait just a minute… my mind quickly went to the question - how much work? During her interview, she talked about putting in the work over the last 4 years – all of the highs and lows. The early mornings and late nights. The rest days and the pain of stretching the boundaries – and learning to bounce back from set-backs while visualizing the moments ahead. Ok, I got it now… It’s setting a goal – then putting in the work!
So, yes - why not me? Why not you? Here is the question you need to ask…
If you or your team could be a world champion or industry leader in your field four years from now - what work are you willing to put in? Start with a goal – then break it down annually, monthly, weekly and daily. Share it with a friend for accountability, then put in the work - everyday and in 4 years - you’ll be competing for gold too! I can’t wait to watch you on the stand!
Quote of the Day: “Every single day in every walk of life, ordinary people accomplish extraordinary things.” Jim Valvano
Call to Action: Set a goal - write it on a “post-it” note and stick it in front of you to see every day… and visualize success ahead.
