What You Could Learn from Joe Flacco

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE OF THE DAY

"Don't find fault, find a remedy."

— Henry Ford: Founder of the Ford Motor Company.

This is a quote you might want to send to your staff or tape to your computer if YOU are the staff. All too often we find people complaining about various issues. It’s easy to complain. Not so easy to find solutions.

Next time you find someone complaining to you, ask them what they think should happen? How would they fix it. By doing so you will accomplish several positive things.

First—You may find some solutions you had not thought of that would be great ways to make things easier or solve a problem.

Second—You may stop the complainers from complaining if you are not willing to listen. It’s no fun to complain when no one hears you!

GROW YOUR WEALTH—YOUR MINDSET IS ALL THAT MATTERS

Yesterday was a day loaded with sports and lots of lessons to learn.

First, my son played in a lacrosse tournament. They lost the first game by 2, won the second game and got destroyed in the third game.

When we got home it was time to watch the Ravens take on Pittsburgh. If you are not a football fan stay with me anyway because there are a few lessons that apply to you here as well.

The Ravens were winning most of the game. Then in the fourth quarter the Steelers took the lead. With just a minute left the new rookie dropped a pass in the end zone that would have won the game. From the TV shots it looked like he was crying.

But then with 8 seconds left, he caught the winning pass.

BIG LESSON—Stop worrying about what was and start worrying about what will/can be. No defeat is permanent unless YOU let it be. Don’t worry about last week, last year or the last play!

So many of us fail because we shrink under past failures. Your past has no influence on your future!!!!
