What the NFR is teaching me this year β¬οΈ
As I drive out to Las Vegas today, I'm reflecting on watching the best of the best compete in the first few rounds of the National Finals Rodeo, and it is nothing short of inspiring. If 10 days of elite athletes leaving it all in the arena doesnβt light a fire under you, I'm not sure what will.
Hereβs the truth Iβm reminded of every time I watch these athletes: You have to be ππ¨π¦π¦π’ππππ to your goals, not just π’π§πππ«ππ¬πππ in them.
π Being π’π§πππ«ππ¬πππ means:
β’ You have a goal but lack a clear plan to achieve it.
β’ You dream about success but donβt set timelines.
β’ You work hard but without clear direction.
β’ You want results, but keep finding reasons why you havenβt seen those results yet.
π Being ππ¨π¦π¦π’ππππ means:
β’ You have a clear vision and set specific, actionable goals to support this vision.
β’ You have a plan and you stick to it, even on the hard days.
β’ You hold yourself accountable and take responsibility for your progress.
β’ You are disciplined and find a way to make it happenβno excuses.
The difference between ππ―ππ«ππ π and ππ₯π’ππ isnβt talent; itβs ππ¨π¦π¦π’ππ¦ππ§π. Your daily habits, no matter how small, determine your results.
So, as you set your goals for the year ahead, ask yourself: Are you π’π§πππ«ππ¬πππ? Or are you ππ¨π¦π¦π’ππππ? The choice is yours.
