Just Play the Game

Just Play the Game!

I know, I know it’s only July 22nd but seriously do you know what’s just around the corner?
Football season!
Not just any sporting season but college football! This is where the true heart of the game is played.
This is where passion flows, determination to be the very best, to win and not come in second.
The competition is tough and it just makes you tougher!
Oh yes, and you can’t leave out the team colors everywhere you turn , the cheering crowd, the bands, the tailgate parties, the smell of hotdogs (even though I don’t eat that stuff) you have to admit there is nothing like that overwhelming smell on the grills.
Can you feel it?
The energy! The enthusiasm! The comradery amongst the people in the stands no matter where they have come from and no matter who they are rooting for they all have something in common…
Winning the game!
To be number ONE!
I can feel my heart beating faster just thinking about it!

This is how you should go to work everyday.
This is the feeling you should awake to!
Can you imagine how your staff would react amongst each other and to our clients?
Can you feel the positive energy? The desire to win the customer!
The goal of being number 1!
But to be number one there must be teamwork, desire, passion, commitment, discipline, faith, habit, mental toughness and truth !!
No matter how hard the opponent is, no matter what their season winning record is, no matter how big they look on the field, no matter how cool their mascot is (BTW Sparty Rules), no matter how smart their plays are…
You have to play with your heart, every fiber of your body.

I know it’s tough out there guys! I feel your pain and the difficulty of running a business today. I am right there with you on the sidelines. But, please stay strong, play hard, plant your feet on the ground, remember who you are and how far you have come, don’t quit, there are people out there rooting for you, you have teammates all across this great nation playing on the same field as you, running for the same goal…to be number ONE !

“I’ve learned…that life is tough, but I’m tougher. –Andy Rooney

Keep climbing !
