I am not talking about sleeping with a large trophy! :) That's what he said he did after their Super Bowl win! At least a trophy is not like a little wiener dog who is always jocking for position...that my friends is a challenge!
But I regress...here's his advise really worth remembering:
The advise Sean Payton apparently gave his team on the all important forth and goal was they would NOT sit back and let the action come to them. They went after it.
TA-DA! Read that again...they would not sit back and let the action come to them. They went after it.
That is perfect advise for us as we are creating the life we say we want. You..and I have to go after what we want. We cannot wait for the action to come to us by default. Cause the truth is...it isn't coming. And IF something does show up how do you know it's what you want and not something that will take you down a path that gets you further away from what you say you want vs closer? The control in the direction of your life is yours...the roadblocks...not so much control.
But if you hit a roadblock on the path you have charted...its a lot different then hitting one when you have no idea where you are going.
So go after the action that will help you. I have a prime example. There is a man I want to invite to breakfast to chat with him about corporate partnerships. His company has been very successful creating them. I want to ask him about his approach and how I think I would do it and see what he says. Here are some questions for me...have I invited him yet? NO. Have I at least drafted a note to him yet? NO.
Do I think he will magically want to have breakfast with me, call me up, invite me and I can swing the conversation around to corporate sponsorship? maybe.... :) Yes I do live in my own world sometimes !!! LOL
Of course he is not going to call me...so I need to take the action to him. I promise myself I will connect him within a week. I will let you know what he says.
What action can you take within the next week to advance your plans? Let me know and I will hold you accountable and you can do the same for me.
And as for sleeping with a trophy like Sean Payton...I am thinking you should look for something softer and preferably something that doesn't snore!!! But that's just me :)
