“The legs feed the wolf.” – Herb Brooks Great movie…Miracle with Kurt Russell. He played Herb Brooks, Head Coach to the 1980 USA Men’s Hockey Team. The context here was clear when he was talking to the team. He was telling them that if the really wanted to win, they would have to hustle harder …
Discipline is paramount. We could have goals but without disciplined effort, they won’t happen. We could do some work sporadically but without disciplined effort, goals don’t happen. The key to discipline, I am finding, is being consistent doing simple, daily tasks that, seemingly, are inconsequential. But, over time, they make ALL the difference. Most people …

Action beats Intention. Always loved this movie, For the Love of the Game w/ Kevin Costner. He plays a Detroit Tigers pitcher & when he was on the mound, before he would start bringing the heat, he would say, out loud to himself, “Clear the Mechanism.” It was his way to avoid all distractions so …
There’s only 2 things in life we can control: our attitude & our actions. I see so many people not succeeding because they are reactive in nature.

I am often a predictable person. Which means…wait for it…I can be boring. Working on this!!! I was reminded this morning about the things that matter most are the simple things done in a spontaneous manner. Back story, my wife, normally sleeps in while I am up with the kids. So, much to my surprise when …
We have all heard the phrase “if the shoe fits, wear it.” I have to disagree, if the shoe fits, it’s comfortable, or, put it another way, we are in our comfort zone. When we are in our comfort zones, we are NOT growing, improving or getting closer to accomplishing our goals. So, if …
So important to identify a goal or objective worthy of the discipline, hard work & sacrifice it will require to accomplish it. Focus on the right stuff with the right attitude. Not always easy to do, I know from experience. For me, I’m learning to not be so hard on myself & reset each day. …
Cannot put a price tag on good association. So important to get around people that inspire you, that motivate you, that believe in you…people that encourage you to fulfill you potential.
