foundation for success in both my coaching career
and my career in fitness:
1. Have a passion for what you do.
2. Study everything you can.
3. Work your butt off.
4. Learn from your failures.
I always wanted to be a baseball coach. Loved
baseball and still probably read more about baseball
than anything other than business stuff today.
When I got a chance to coach I bought every book
and video that might have a remote chance of
helping me improve. Once I quit coaching, I shipped
a box with about 2/3 of all that stuff to one of my
former players who had gone into coaching...it
weighed over 50 lbs.
I traveled to clinics all over the country and worked
camps at schools which had programs I wanted to
model.
Then I put in more hours than I care to remember.
In fact, I never took a vacation during my entire
coaching career.
I figured that I wasn't going to beat anyone with
Strategy, I had no experience...I needed to have
better systems and work harder at recruiting. That
was our only chance.
As far as mistakes go...I didn't really dwell on
losing. In fact, it usually drove me to get on the
phone and start recruiting even harder.
As a coach...the easiest way to win more games?
Get better players ;)
The formula worked even better when it came to
running our own businesses...
As a business owner - if you have passion for
what you're doing and pour yourself into learning
to be better at your craft - you're going to be
successful.
If you love what you do, you're not watching the
clock and putting in the time and effort seems
easy.
And if you really enjoy what you are doing,
failures are nothing more than learning experiences
that prepare you for success.
So there you have it...my Magic Formula.
Not much magic to it, but I promise that if
you follow it you'll enjoy the results.
Dedicated to your success,
Pat
