Push the pace...

5 life lessons I learned from college wrestling:

 

Lesson Number 1 – Push the pace.

 

My goodness, my college coaches used to say that to me so much that I began to think that they did not know any other words in the English language.

 

Years later, I am thankful that they drilled that into my head.

 

How do I apply that simple phrase in my business career today? Simple. I push the pace.

 

It’s sort of like running and you want to see who breaks first. Just keep running faster and farther. Eventually, your opponent will gas out and quit.

 

When it comes to work, I come early and stay late.

 

I Focus more, dig in more, and pay attention to every single detail that much more.

 

I realize that every single day matters and every single minute of every single day matters.

 

I am constantly analyzing how I can do better every single day and I do not stop.

 

I am intense and refuse to give an inch to any of my opponents.

 

If someone is doing something better than I am, I will figure out what they are doing and then just outwork and outhustle them.

 

If you want to be the best at your job, in a relationship or in whatever, one of the things you must do is push the pace. Do not relax, do not rest and do not stop.

 

Have a great day everyone and let’s win this one!!

Morning Khash.

While I can't move as fast as I once did, I do keep moving forward.  So far so good

Good morning, Khash Saghafi this is your best one yet.... I love this.... and one good reason to share is to make you're game is where it should be....if someone else trumps you, you'd better UP your game and do it quickly.... and that's how I think.... that's one good reason to share all of it.... either intimidate the competition or make them play their best card...and then you trump it....  are you sure you're not 100% Armenian?????

Good morning Khash. Perhaps because I have lived longer or experienced more but I think it isn't always necessary to be first always and forever.

Good morning Khash:

Great article today!

I once heard a quote something along the lines of "most people fail to recognize opportunity because it comes dressed in overalls and looks a lot like work."

I can tell you don't miss many opportunities!!

Hi Khash- this is something we can say to ourselves when we're ready to slow down and want to take a break.
