2 decades -2 years - lots of learning

I let the moment of the 2- year anniversary pass on Madison Street without any fan-fare. Though I am proud of what I’ve accomplished here, I am most proud of the nearly 2 full decades in the industry. As much fun as this all looks, I’ve seen this industry chew up and spit out coaches and trainers much better than me. I am humbled by all the help I’ve gotten through the years. The term “self-made man” makes me cringe. There is no such thing!
I always feel funny talking about success, mostly because I have come to realize that it only comes from failure. Whatever great accomplishments I’ve ever had, have been the direct reaction to a great failure.  It’s true, the most successful people have failed more than anyone. Keep at it.
I am grateful for every opportunity presented in my life, especially the ones that at the time, seemed like a death sentence.
I’ve come a long way in this business.  As I reflect and celebrate the milestones of the past couple decades and my most recent 2-year anniversary, I now know there were some lessons I had to learn. The following are just a few of some of the most valuable ones:
  1. Be you. Be authentic.
  2. Be true to your mission. Write down what you want to accomplish and make decisions based on that mission.
  3. Get up. The tallest and strongest trees grow at the bottom of the mountain. Falling is ok, as long as you get up.
  4. If you’re the smartest person in the room…get out of that room!
  5. Ask for help.
  6. Only say what needs to be said.
  7. Don't obsess over others perceptions. No one gives a shit, and that’s a great thing. See lesson #1.
  8. Own it. Take responsibility. Be the solution.
  9. Help people. Everyone is struggling with something, even if they aren’t telling you.
  10. Be nice to people. See lesson #9.
  11. Go to bed.
  12. Get up early.
  13. Don’t take anything personally. Accept people for what they are as well as what they are not.
Thank you. I believe in you. BE RELENTLESS. NEVER GIVE UP…EVER. I believe in what we can all accomplish…together.
