Never Rest On Your Laurels
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Never rest on your laurels. I see this happening to businesses and once-great champions, almost every day.
They slowly and steadily allow mediocrity to creep into their orbits. It starts with a mindset of “the success I now have I’ll always have.” This thinking then causes a loss of obsessive attention to detail and a degrading of the deep caring to make things special.
Day by day, the decline continues. Average becomes acceptable. Ordinary becomes ok.
Coasting along and focusing on past wins becomes normalized.
And the crown eventually passes to a competitor.
My new book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness. You can order it now by clicking here.

One of the things so many producers suffer from is they're always working and they're always pushing out work. But if you look at the Sistine Chapel ceiling and Michelangelo's incredible fresco, it took them four years to handcraft that. If you look at the Taj Mahal, it took 21 years to make it. If you look at the great pieces of work, the great monuments, the great businesses, They were all created over time with intense focus, deep devotion, and limitless levels of this rare quality in our world right now called patience. So I would encourage you and invite you to be one of those rare air producers that pushes mastery only out into the world. Take the time to commit to one project. even if you have to stay with it for three years or four years. One thing I learned from Steve Jobs, he learned this at Pixar. It was one project for four years. One animated film that they worked on for four years versus 20 animated films.And by doing this, it allowed them to hone their focus on one piece of mastery. And then when he went back to Apple, It was the iMac for four years and that was working on the iPod and then it was the iPad and then it was the iPhone. So please remember to stand for mastery and not be in the business of always pushing out content or product because that will never allow you to harness your genius and take the time to get every brush stroke and every detail to perfection.
