A little longer this week – I read “Winning Matters” by Sean Fitzpatrick over the New Year break and this paragraph from the chapter “Leading From The Front” leapt out at me.
“AN IDEA TO TRY; NOW VERSUS NEXT WEEK….
Leading from the front means doing it now. Do it better today and tomorrow, not ext week.
When you close this book after you finish reading it, commit to a change. It only needs to be one thing. It doesn’t need to change the world. But it needs to be something that, in changing, will improve you and your situation.
Success is all about modest improvements consistently done. Start today. Leave NOTHING on the table. Put your heart and soul into it. Wherever you are and however far away your goal sounds at the moment, you can get closer to it by starting the process.
Have the balls to change. Start doing shit. Accept and understand that sacrifice is key. Make the sacrifices willingly, and focus on making them worthwhile. Start today.”
