The curse of success (Don't play yourself)

12/20/16 • 22 min

I remember Sean Payton reminding the whole squad to keep their eyes on the prize: “Don’t eat the cheese!” Success will eat you up before you know it. Pay attention to your character as you approach your biggest milestones... Are you remaining true to yourself, or do you become someone else? Today’s episode will remind you of the narrow-focus you must apply, everywhere you go. Don’t ever play yourself!
