Ahhhh... March Madness! Does anything quench the Influential Leader's sole like college basketball? I spent last week traveling, so what better way to take some "down" time to watch wall-to-wall basketball. Being a Big 10 Varsity Athlete, I was especially pleased to see Michigan State University and Tom Izzo breeze through their first two games. Hard to believe that it's been 30 years since Magic Johnson lead MSU to the title in 1979. Even more hard to believe that they won the 2000 championship!
So what's the secret to their success? Anyone that knows anything about Tom Izzo knows that it all boils down to one thing. Every team in the NCAA - Division 1 athletics has got star athletes. Every college hosts their teams in what could only be called modern day coliseums. Every team has great athletic training programs. So from athletes to facilities, everything is pretty even. What's the secret then?
The Influential Leader has the secret! It's hard work. So simple, yet few actually accomplish success because there is an extreme lack of hard work. Magic used to tell tales of running up and down the court in practice until he puked. So what are you working so hard at that you actually "puke" afterwards?
If you'd like to get the "Influential Edge" and start working hard, send me an email at sp@pathosleadershipgroup.com and let's start today! You'll join the thousands who've participated in our programs that are tasting success today, even in this economy! You'll also get in on the ground-floor of our exciting 2nd Quarter of 2009 programs. What are you waiting for? Oh you already work hard don't you? There's a big difference between working hard and hard work... Drop me a line and we'll spend 10 minutes together to see where we can go together!
