John Wooden is considered to be one of the best basketball coaches in the history of the game. As I was watching one of the games this past weekend one of the announcers started talking about Coach Wooden and how he taught the game to his players. The following is a principle he taught: "Past results don't determine future performance."
If we would take that idea and apply it to ourselves while building this business or building our personal future, I believe more people would experience that success they desire. A major thing about making progress is not to live in the past and continually recall past failures. Those are lessons learned. Our focus should be on things we're going to do without taking ourselves back to the past. Of course we learn from the past but we don't want to live there.
Being future-directed is one thought I accepted for myself very early in the business. I first heard those words at a meeting in Minneapolis and I remember writing it down and keeping it: be a future-driven person. Why not make that one of your daily thoughts? "I'm a future driven person."
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
