Think of the gym with not the right equipment, your toolbox with only screwdrivers, or the plumber with a half empty supply van.It's important to make sure we understand what is needed before setting off toward attaining our goals.

Success and failure can be tracked back to the same thing, habits and adjustments. The small things we do consistently, good or bad, are what determine the outcome of our hopes and dreams. We either achieve them or we don't before the time to recognize success or failure even arrives.We are so much more capable of succeeding more frequently by examining what went wrong, or right, through reflection. This, in turn feeds our ability to adjust our daily practice and habits so that we are prepared to succeed. When was the last time you reflected on a regular basis in an attempt to mine your outc…

It's really hard to tell if someone is giving their 100%. Why?Because we aren't them! 100% is a very personal measurement. We often know when we can do better, but don't want to admit it. So we make excuses. The best thing we can do is give 100% of what we can on that day in that moment. In other words, our "Maximum Effort". Doing that helps push past excuses and keeps us moving in the right direction through small steps.That direction you ask? Yeah... it's success.I appreciate you checking out the episodes.
