Ep. 193: 1460 Days Getting 1% Better

07/18/21 • 10 min

Last week I received this LinkedIn message:

Former Student-Athlete: "This is some accomplishment. Make sure to stop for a second today and appreciate this."

Me: "Wow! It never even crossed my mind. Is that bad??"

Former Student-Athlete: "I don’t think it’s bad per se but I definitely think you need to take a second to appreciate and reflect on what you’ve been able to accomplish in 4 years on this project! Average podcast lasts what? 5 episodes?"

He was talking about me producing the podcast for 4 years.

I missed the anniversary.

I was working on the business, not just in the business.

I was enjoying the process of creating a podcast, not just the product.

The can be cliches or they can be true. Or both.

What project are you willing to dive into for the next 1460 days?

Tell me here.

What project are you willing to work so hard on that you miss the anniversary?

Tell me here.

What project would you launch if only someone gave you permission?

Ask me here.

What project are you proud of?

Brag in private here.

I love creating this podcast with you.

Thank you for your support!

And as always, thanks for listening.

See you next week for another Damn Good Conversation!
