Have you ever noticed that when your business is rockin’, some people try to knock you down?<\/p>\n

\n
\"Tom

Tom Brady<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Some\u00a0do it out of fear of losing you because you are achieving your goals and dreams and they are not. Others do it because they just have nothing better to do.I am a rabid football fan, and if you follow American football, you know that on January 18, 2015, the New England Patriots pounded<\/em> the Indianapolis Colts 45-7. (my beloved Green Bay Packers didn’t get the memo that the National Championship Game was supposed to go 60 minutes instead of the 56 minutes that they actually played,so I must talk about other teams!)<\/em><\/p>\n

What did the media focus on after the game? Tom Brady’s balls. Specifically the proper inflation of the balls. I don’t play football, so I don’t know what effect an under-inflated ball actually has; but I’m pretty sure that it wouldn’t help a team bounce back from a 38 point deficit!<\/p>\n

What does this have to do with your business’ goals?<\/p>\n

1. It is easier to knock someone down than it is to pick them up.\u00a0<\/strong>
\nEmbrace the fact that you need to develop a thick skin and an idiot filter when you are pursuing anything worthwhile. Tune into the right voices who are encouraging you instead of discouraging you.<\/p>\n

2. Your Recipe for Success may be different than someone else’s<\/strong>
\nYou will develop routines<\/a> and quirks that help you achieve your goals. If pink bunny slippers help you sell more product; wear them! Tom Brady liked his footballs a certain way. Let him be!<\/p>\n

3. Do what you do best; delegate the rest!<\/strong>
\nNo NFL quarterback checks footballs for proper inflation, washes their own uniforms, or laces their cleats. They have people who do that for them.<\/p>\n

What low value tasks are you doing now that you could delegate to someone else?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
