One of the directors in my area sent these notes out. It is from a Director Training or something (maybe ChefLisa knows, she might have been there....). Anyhow, it was a great reminder to me as after reading this I can honestly say that I am currently in the camper mode. I need to get back to being a climber!
I hope this gives you the kick in the pants that it gave me.
Quitters, Campers or Climbers?
Which one are you?
Our life and our business is an uphill climb
In order to reach your dream you must do some climbing
Our businesses are like Mt. Climbing - On your journey up your mountain you will encounter problems, and 3 types of people (quitters, campers, and climbers)
In order to reach the mountain top you will have to overcome the quitter and camper inside of you.
We should all want to be climbers or we are selling ourselves short
Success shouldn’t diminish our desire it should encourage us to go farther & keep climbing
Campers will allow where they are in their business to become a permanent address for them and they will stop focusing on their goal
Climbers want it all!!!
Climbers are dedicated
A lot of climbers will have to pitch a tent to get refreshed but they will get back on their mountain and continue working towards their goal
It is not always easy and it can look insurmountable but a climber will not quit
It is always easier to be a quitter or a camper than a climber.
We need to be like the Mona Lisa --- keep smiling when our back is to the wall
Quitting can be a habit just like winning.
There are 2 times in business when you are vulnerable to quitting …
After a huge failure or a huge success (because you are relaxed)
Winston Churchhill noticed that the bulldog’s nose is slanted backwards to he can still breath without letting go… we need to get bulldog tenacity (Continue to breath but hold on)
In trying times don’t stop trying
Good is the enemy of best (even the army says be all you can be)
If at first you do succeed try something harder!
Don’t stop climbing until your good is better and your better is best!
Regret looks back
Worry looks around
Vision looks up
If your yesterday still looks big to you that means you are not doing anything today! Beware of security
Endurance is the difference between quitters, campers and climbers.
Endure now = enjoyment later
70% off fatalities in Mt. Climbing occur on the way back down. They have lost their focus and make mistakes.
Climb for yourself, for your business and for your family.
Don’t miss out on what you could have or could be because you get weary of the climb
I hope this gives you the kick in the pants that it gave me.
