Feedback

Practicing without feedback is like bowling through a curtain that hangs down to knee level.  You can work on technique all you like, but if you can't see the effects, two things will happen: You won't get any better, and you'll stop caring.

Learning Through Mistakes

Mistakes provide the greatest lessons, humble us, and enable us to grow and become better.  For leaders, humility to admit and own mistakes and develop a plan to overcome them is essential to success.

Asking Questions

"If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55-minutes determining the proper question to ask...for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes."  - Albert Einstein

Events of Problems?

Events are not problems; they're just events.  Your resistance to them is what causes the problem.

Success Takes Time

John Wooden didn't win his first national title until his 16th season at UCLA.  Success takes time.  Starbucks did not reach store number 5 until 13 years into its history.  Success takes time.  Sam Walton did not open his second Walmart store until 7 years after starting his company.  Success takes time  Be persistent.  Successes will come.  The only way you lose is by quitting.  So don't quit!

When you choose to win, you rule out mediocrity as an option.
