PLAN TO WIN

WHEN IT COMES TO ANY KIND OF BATTLE, KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THE POWER WITHIN YOU TO DO WHAT MUST BE DONE: WIN
Whenever lines are drawn, sides are chosen, and stands are final, know that you have entered into combat. Whether it is for country, property, love, or whatever trivial matter that puts you on that battlefield. Know that both sides approach that battlefield with the intention of achieving only ONE outcome and that is to WIN.
When you find yourself on the battlefield know that those that stand opposite you are SOLELY there to BEAT YOU, to DEFEAT YOU, to MAKE YOU LOSE. They are there to show you that you are not worthy.
When you step on the field of battle YOU had better be prepared to stand up, defend yourself, take the fight to them or find yourself lacking. If you find yourself incapable of defeating your opponent, why bother? Know the time has come for you to throw yourself on the ground, curl up in the fetal position and beg for mercy.
Mercy you know they will not give you, mercy you do NOT deserve. They want to win and they will do what it takes, including showing you NO mercy.
Please know there is NO SUCH THING AS A FAIR FIGHT, because in any fight there can only be ONE WINNER!

Thank you,

PLAN FOR SUCCESS

When it comes working on our focus or our success or whatever we must work on to succeed, there is one thing that must be done: PLAN.

Planning is a CRITICAL component to SUCCESS.

As the ever popular and TRUTHFUL old adage goes, “When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”

Thus, when you plan to succeed, you succeed.

However, when creating that plan there is one thing to remember: Adjust for all things including DISTRACTIONS. While all plans cannot be all encompassing, there is no reason to exclude distractions and how you plan to deal with them, when they arrive.

When it comes to distractions it is NOT a matter of if you will be distracted but when!

Get to work.

REMEMBER: ACTION is ALWAYS greater than WORDS

FOCUS

August 2 – FOCUS

As recent athletic competition has shown, when a team or its “leaders” lose FOCUS or tries to shift focus away from what is important, at that moment. In this case, what was important is winning a game. The team that was shifting focus or multitasking comes up short because at most that anyone that is multitasking or shifting focus can give to any particular item or task is 80% of the attention.

While the other team or competition is solely focusing on the task at hand and paying no attention to the non-game related content until after the event is CHOOSING to give 100%

100% versus 80% tell me who wins?

That’s right the team or group giving 100%.

Pay attention, Give 100%, Stay Focused!

REMEMBER: ACTION is ALWAYS greater than WORDS
