Excuses are bad and explanations can wait. Continue to work hard in the moment to maximize impact and lessons.

A false start penalty good be cause by a few different things on the gridiron but it’s really only one thing in the positive impact world.

Distractions are abundant. Choose important work over popular work. It may not be flashy but it pays off in the end.

Your organization’s vision is the most important component to success. You and everyone else involved (even those not involved) must have an understanding of why the organization exists. With that knowledge, execution becomes simple.

It’s great to have a plan. It’s better to have action. Spend some time thinking about the impact you want to make. Spend more time making it. It’s impossible to understand everything at the beginning. “Doing” will enable you to learn more.

Are looking for a motivational ‘high”? Stop. Find a state of motivation. It’s healthier and more productive.
