I recently came across a news article that is extremely relevant for all budding entrepreneurs… In 1996, the British Rowing team finished dead last... Embarrassing themselves and their country that was depending on them to succeed. Getting to the Olympics is no small feat in itself, but deep down, they had that gnawing, gut-wrenching feeling that many of us know all too well. They hadn’t done their best. They hadn’t given their all. They hadn’t achieved their goal. And realised that those days (and opportunities) are gone. You can’t get your time back. “Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called
the present.” And so if you are here... With three quarter of the year gone yet not halfway to your goals, I’m here to say this It’s not too late to turn it all around. So... Here is precisely what this team decided to do. After their humiliation... They didn’t just make a new decision in the moment... They made a commitment that every action they took individually and as a team would be towards one singular goal... Every day, they asked this one question. This one question guided their minds, hearts and actions toward one goal... The one question was this: “Will this make the boat go faster?” Go out have a beer with the boys. Will that make the boat go faster? No. Cancelled. Burger or salad? Which will make the boat go faster? Salad. Done. Sleep in? Nope. Won’t make the boat go faster. Every single decision filtered by this one question. “Will it make the boat go faster?” End result. Four years later those same men went on to Dominate taking the GOLD at the 2000 Olympic Games." This is exactly how you should be thinking about being the boss of your
very own home-based recruitment agency... It's super simplistic but often overlooked because we get sucked into the day-to-day routine, of working to give someone else the lifestyle we desire… What will make the boat go faster for you? Well here’s one suggestion… |
