It's the second week of December 2010 and there are only 19 business days left
for the month, quarter and year. It's time to make that last push for this year and
to set goals for 2011.
This past Thursday, which was the first day of Hanukkah, I had the pleasure of
being in the audience when Jeff Piersall, CEO of Space Coast Media Group
spoke at a local business luncheon here in Melbourne. The talk Jeff gave was
not only informative, stimulating and thought provoking but it honored the spirit of
that sacred holiday.
Jeff spoke of UCLA's Coach Wooden. John Wooden won ten NCAA National
Championships in a 12-year period; seven consecutively. No other NCAA
basketball coach has accomplished that feat. During that time, his team won 88
consecutive games. Coach John Wooden never talked about winning to his
teams. He only talked about performing at their best when it was time to be their
best. Coach Wooden documented his philosophy in a book titled "Wooden on
Leadership".
Jeff went on to talk about John Wooden's "Pyramid of Success". The first level is
5 blocks wide. The corner stones of that level are Enthusiasm (Joy) and
Industriousness (Work). Then, by building out the next 3 levels, 10 more building
blocks, you will reach the 4th level and receive the gift of Poise and Confidence.
The 5th level being the best you can be when it's necessary to be your best.
It is important to take time to reflect on the times you performed your best and
recognize that when you were at your best, you were winning! I know you have
had some wins...personal, family, business, or spiritual; it doesn't matter what
part of your life the WIN occurred, just as long as you realize that it was a win.
Tell someone about it and then set an action goal to get a win in the coming
week.
The holidays are upon us; companies and people will buy this month and people
will make decisions for 2011. Use every day to ensure the future you want.
Take action now and plant seeds for the future.
As we celebrate the miracles of the season let us reflect on the past and look
forward to the future. Be the best you can when it is necessary to be your best.
