A Person Shows Who They Are....

My college basketball coach had a sign up in the lockeroom that read:

"A PERSON SHOW'S WHO THEY ARE....BY WHAT THEY DO....WITH WHAT THEY HAVE"

It's been quite a few years but I've always remembered those words.

They've served me well many times. Tough games as the "runt" on the
team....school....military service....family....my business....and just life in general.

To me it means victory doesn't always...or have to...go to the person who is bigger, faster, smarter, richer, more educated, more experienced, better
equiped, and so on.

Victory goes to the person who makes the most of whatever skills, values,
tools, and circumstances they've been blessed with.

Look at our industry and you'll see it doesn't take a Harvard MBA or birth
with a silver spoon to be successful. It doesn't give you an edge.

Most of our success stories are people of modest "have" who made the most of
that.

Victory is also defined by the person.

It needn't be the "million dollar earner" tag. It may just be enough to pay off the bills, get some breathing room, send a child to college, replace an old car, cover the mortage, buy extra groceries, get one spouse home with the kids....whatever.

The victory takes the form of any improvement in one's life .... defined by that person....and achieved by making the most of their "have".

So.....celebrate every victory.

And show us "who you are".
