So far in this four-part series, I’ve explained to you the one blog I came across that had such a profound impact on my life. The blog contained your usual short paragraphs in a newspaper-article-type fashion. There was nothing present in it that distinguished it from the millions of blog entries out there. However, after reading the blog, it inspired me to change the way I approached what I did. In applying the lessons, I began to notice that my life was gradually becoming more the way I wanted it to be. There is no doubt in mind my that the second aspect of achieving success is taking action and being a starter.. George stated that business is out in the field, not in the office. How true that is. Let me use a sports analogy to illustrate this. We’ll look at a Rookie who just joined the NBA. New members of the NBA tend to warm the benches more than they play in the game. The key to success, though, is to become a starter (this applies to our business as well...a starter). Only with that will we ever learn the ropes of the game and move up to the level of stardom. What’s important here is that you need to be proactive in getting where you want to go. A Rookie in Action. His name is Jamario Moon. He is a 1st year player for the Toronto Raptors so that makes him a rookie for the 2007-2008 season. An old rookie, for that matter, as he is 27 years old, in a sport where players usually start out in their teens. He started out the season as a bench warmer...not doing much. He strongly felt in his mind that he was a player who could offer great contributions to his team, so he practiced diligently each day. It was just after a few games that he got called onto the courts during a game. And guess what? He performed. The next several games, he did the same thing. Pretty soon, he had secured for himself a starter position on the team. Yes, a STARTER. The starter position is very esteemed since there are only five positions available and they are selected from the pool of 12 players. He managed to land one spot. Failure was not an option for him and he wouldn't accept it. There were rookies 10 years younger than him. Because he kept at it every day in practice and he had the proper mindset and belief system, he didn’t have hesitation or doubt about his ability to perform. He practiced to reach a purpose and a goal. You may be wondering how this Rookie story relates to the message from George’s blog. The moral of the Rookie story is that you should not sit and wait for things to happen. Hoping for business to come is not a sure way to achieve success. Some may have found success doing that, but it does not apply to the majority. order: :2:2:For pete’s sake, get out there and do something!. If you aren't, then no one else will get you where you want to go. You must practice, practice, practice. You must practice to reach a purpose and goal. They always say that the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time, so practice your skills each day. order: :2:2:Be the ROOKIE of the Year!
