People often ask me what the secret to success is. They are curious about the secret ingredient, that recipe that leads you to the top of your goals. What is it that makes things really work? Plain and simple, lots of hard work. That’s invariably my answer to anyone who asks. If you are not willing to wake up early, put in the time, and really go at your dreams, why would you ever succeed?
I have no doubts about the entrepreneurs at MAIC this year, though. Early in the morning, I saw them lining up before the sun came up, walking to the arena with their teams before the doors were even open. Because they knew they had to wake up and show up to even think about succeeding. And I know they’re going to do it again tomorrow and the day after that. Because when you’re serious about something, you don’t just talk about it. You show it with your actions. You prove it by waking up and tackling your list and then creating a new one.
If you were there with us yesterday, and here with us again today, give yourself the credit you deserve for taking action towards your dreams. But don’t forget to get at it again tomorrow and the day after that. One team, one dream.
