Prepare To Win
Nobody gets out of bed and runs a marathon without having run before.
There is always preparation.
Nobody gets out of bed and runs a marathon without having run before.
There is always preparation.
There are a lot of varying factors that go into the accomplishments of every successful person.
Hard work is a constant across all of their stories.
The magic happens behind the scenes.
When we see a cool video, listen to a podcast, watch a movie, or read an interesting novel, 99.9% of it was created without an audience.
To get where we want to go we have to put in the work we never have.
I want to talk about practice. Not the game, not the game we all love but practice.
Practice can be anything preparing us for the “game”. Thinking, reading, studying, and testing.
Getting uncomfortable.
Trying to imagine situations and getting ahead of them.
Some days we don’t have it all together. We are stressed and anxious and have a ton of responsibility to attend to.
Getting through those days seem like an endless chore. It’s tough to prioritize for the long term when we are putting out fires all over the place.
Hurrying is a fools’ errand.
It means we were unprepared. We failed to anticipate obstacles and we had to rush to hopefully make up those pitfalls. Potentially, that enters in more new obstacles or mistakes.
In any planned first encounter, it can be highly important to spend some amount of time preparing. This can be true on a first date, an interview for a job, a podcast interview, etc.
