It's always about effort!

It's always about effort! Whether it is sports, hobbies or business, your success is directly related to the amount of effort you put in. Have you ever met a successful person who is "casual" about their success or interest? The most successful people are difficult to stop because they have incredible effort. The most successful leaders read about their profession or craft, attend training for their craft, and try to get better with relentless effort- every day.  They lead by example and bring others along.


I have read many times that Michael Jordan practiced for 3 hours a day. He would practice shots from just about every angle, free throws, weight lifting and all of the other fundamentals. Because of his effort, he succeeded. You may be saying to yourself, “Well he had so much talent”. This is true, but talent only gets you so far. Plenty of other basketball players had more talent than Michael Jordan. They did not work like he did. Ask yourself, what kind of effort do I bring every day? How much do I read about my craft or profession? It’s not too late to ratchet up your effort levelJ
