DAILY MINDSET “If people knew how hard I worked to achieve my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful after all.” – Michelangelo Written by someone recognized as one of the greatest artists of time. “Natural born talent” is a myth. Movies portray it, sports news glamorizes… the “uncontrollable factor” that leads to such heights of achievement. Yet here he is, Michelangelo himself, expressing his backbone to success. It’s easy to believe that we can’t control tomorrow. To belie

DAILY MINDSET “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” - Peter Drucker In business, this is ever important for leaders to fully understand. That the culture of a team is everything. Over any marketing plans, product launches… anything. The same mindset is true for us as athletes. We’ve all heard the line, “it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog”. And we believe it to be true. The picture perfect strategy, executed half-heartedly, will al

DAILY MINDSET “Well done is better than well said.” - Benjamin Franklin Talk is cheap. Anyone can talk. Only the few, choose to do. There will be a point today where we will feel compelled to express our thoughts to someone. Maybe it’s how something could be done better. Press pause in that moment. “Ductus Exemplo” is a Latin phrase that translates to: “Lead by Example”. Actions will always speak louder than any words. WD > WS.

DAILY MINDSET “Don’t bunt. Aim out of the ballpark.” – David Oglivy One of the most dangerous things we can do in life is to dream too small. When we dig to the root of what causes this, we find that it’s fear. We can convince ourselves that it’s too big of a goal. That it’s out of reach. That in and of itself, is the death of the dream. A self-fulfilling prophecy from that point forward, as we can’t accomplish what we can’t believe. So it starts with that: belief. Belief tha

DAILY MINDSET “Only a man who knows what it’s like to be defeated, can reach down to the bottom of his soul with the extra ounce of power to win, when the match is even.” – Mohammed Ali It’s commonplace to look at mistakes, miscues, and losses as negatives. And it’s even more common to view them as setbacks. Yet here, one of the greatest of time, offers the difference maker in an otherwise even fight between two opponents: Failure.

DAILY MINDSET “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.” – James Clear If someone has 10 coins, are they rich? Let’s say no. What if they have 100 coins? Probably not. What about 1,000 coins? There is a tipping point. A number where our answer changes to yes. It actually narrows down to a single coin where that takes place. Bu

DAILY MINDSET “When I write, I feel like an armless, legless man with a crayon in his mouth.” – Kurt Vonnegut It can be easy to forget that even the greats are full of awkwardness and clumsiness. Yet the man quoted above is known to have changed the face of American literature. But despite Vonnegut’s success, he didn’t start that way. It was full of fumbles, false starts, and embarrassing mistakes. Yet where others in his shoes stopped, he chose to keep going. Forcing himself

DAILY MINDSET “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.” – Martin Luther King Jr Comedian Jerry Seinfeld had a daily practice, which was a promise to himself. To “never break the chain”. Every day, Jerry promised himself that he would write a joke, every single day. The length, the topic, and even how funny it was came second to the fact - that it was completed. Some days the jo
