Getting Ahead

You don't get ahead because you're good at something. You don't get ahead because you have talent, skill, or connections. You get ahead because you're better than you were a year ago. You're better than you were six months ago. 

You drive yourself to improve continually, expanding your knowledge and your capacity. Day after day, month after month, push your limits and extend your boundaries. You bolster your weaknesses while sharpening your skills. You don't wait for good things to happen; you go after them with energy and passion.

You try new ideas, new techniques, and new approaches all the time. You give yourself permission to make mistakes - to fail frequently and even spectacularly - because you understand that failure is a stepping stone to success, that failure is the most effective teacher of all.

You get ahead by moving yourself, deliberately and purposefully, in the direction of your goals. When you attain one goal, you set a new - or many new ones - in order to keep yourself focused and motivated.
