You can be the ultimate “hustler” but I see people hustling at companies making minimum wage picking up large containers of cement.

It is possible to be busy – very busy – without being very effective. They discover towards the end that the “success” ladder was leaning up against the wrong wall for the last 10 years. Going through not only those years of track and field in high school, to unwittingly quitting at college because I hated the hate going around the team was all downs….but there was a lot of character building in it.Ī lot of people right now are engaged in survival “busy-ness” that isn’t getting them anywhere in life.

The process will have a lot more “downs” than “ups,” but it’s all part…of the process. I remember I asked a pseudo-mentor at a track and field meet, “could you please give me some motivation before running?” What I would’ve told myself was, “Arsenio, who do yo want to become? What do you want? What’s your end goal? Specific times?” Instead, what I got was, “run fast!” Yeah….thank you. What times did I want, to how much strength I needed to run the 110 meter high hurdles. I had no idea what I wanted to become in terms of a star. How about Track & Field? I wish I had asked myself this question years ago. If you’re a basketball player, what’s the ultimate goal? Do you just want to play your way through high school to keep in shape? What about university? Would you like to play in the NBA? Blue-collar player? Starter? All-star? It requires flexibility, but you need to know the forecast of the business and what direction it’s going in.īefore you begin anything in life, always have a clear goal at the very end and trust the process. In fact, people who actually do write business plans don’t abide by them. I was just recently teaching how to write business plans for some of my students, and I realized that some articles we came across didn’t coincide with what we were doing. To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. Not sure about the analytics behind this, but there have been almost a half-a-grand plays on this particular podcast, so I will write a short blog and post the podcast down below if you guys want to listen in! Today is a special feature for my most played podcast on – Stephen Covey’s Begin With The End In Mind.
