Leaders must fight

photo of TV show Lioness on TV
Recently began watching. Intense. Watched Season 1, episode 7 last night.

Leaders must fight for what they believe in.

It’s a harsh reality that makes sense to me.

Has made sense since i was a kid.

You want to set the school record for the 440?

No one is gonna hand it to you (or any one).

You want it?

Prove it.

Fight like hell.

Note: Held the Spring Grove Area high school 440 record from 1977 through 2023.

What is that?

Forty-six years.

Note: Fought like hell but it never felt like a fight. It felt right.

Four things they have that the others haven’t mastered yet

Stack of Mid Life Celebration books
Most people dream of publishing a book.

 

When we think about how lucky someone else is in their career, know what happens to our psyche?

We sabatoge it.

We stifle it.

We do many things, except get a grip and understand that at one time, they were exactly where we are now.

And admit that why they are where they are is because they refused to let mistakes, embarrassment, pain, rejection, ridicule, and exhaustion stop them.

How does one know such things?

Tenacity, perseverance, determination, and milestones.

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough. – Nuwanda

The long way is the short cut. – Nuwanda

A Big Revelation From jeff noel’s MBA Program Is The Importance Of Tenacity

Halifax, Nova Scotia recently, on a run through the city.

There’s a long list of firsts here….

I’ve never heard another MBA student talk about how much they studied tenacity, nor refer to, or recommend, textbooks on tenacity.

The biggest revelation in jeff noel’s MBA program, so far, is how tenacity may be the single biggest success factor in launching a small business startup.

Failure is an option, but not quitting.

Absolutely, positively. No quitting.
