Nothing builds success faster than success. But how do you get success if you don't already have it? It seems like a catch-22. Sometimes you have to "get the ball rolling" by creating your own success!
Each successful step propels you to more success... I'll show you HOW at the end of this series.
On this morning's bicycle ride, God revealed to me how a bike ride is like success in business and career life. Here's tip #1 of 5:
1. Pedal smarter not harder. I learned a trick to create leverage: instead of pedaling each foot ½ around, push harder and pedal around ¾ of the way with each foot. With each side giving 75% of the total effort, that combines to a total of 150% effort, which magnifies the effort of each push. First right foot, then left foot, right foot, left foot, right, left, right... Each carrying the other farther and easier with every push. (I think there's a name for this -- anyone know what this technique is called?)
Life Lesson: It's kind of like a business partnership (or a marriage) -- if each person gives 50% of the effort, you may collectively get 100% of the job done (or you may fall short of 100%). But if you each give 75% of the total effort, success becomes undeniable. You become unstoppable when your joint efforts are magnified.
BTW, my math professor in college defined a "trick" as "a simple technique that you can use over and over again" (like when completing an exam).
