Maybe HE ruined the Game.... or .... Maybe YOU are just making excuses! What a profound statement! When you think "The Greatest Athlete" of our time, it's easy to say, well, he had "God Given Talent" or "He was born that way" or "It's because he was tall". Now, if you were a fan of Michael Jordan (like myself), and watched every single game; read every single book; watched every documentary; you'd know that his ability did not come to him naturally, nor did it happen overnight! In fact, he didn't even make his high school Junior Varsity Team! While watching this clip, you can understand and feel in his voice, all of the hours and dedication that he invested in himself to become the best ever. He truly lives it! Michael Jordan looked adversity dead in the face as an opportunity to take his passion and use it as strength to perfect his game! My challenge to you: In this day and age of instant gratification, are you willing to work hard and continue to overcome challenges and pitfalls along the way, in becoming someone that generations will remember for years to come as the best ever? If you have a passion for what you do, then making that choice is simple. Now, to get started - Check Your Excuses at the Door! I am a firm believer that you are either training to reach the top or you're training to fail. Everything in between is an excuse for why you aren't the BEST. Every minute that goes by making excuses, is a minute where your competitors that LIVE to be the BEST are putting the finishing touches on their next marketing campaign at midnight or waking up in the wee morning hours to build knowledge and prepare for an awesome day of growth. As a business leader you were born to change the world. It is your responsibility to give it your all to make a difference. Do you think Michael Jordan did it for the money? Or did he want to let the world know all about Michael Jordan and put his stamp on society as the BEST ever? It's amazing how when you focus your drive on bigger intentions, people want to be associated with you, they want their picture taken with you, they want to pay lots of money to come and see you, they want to be there just in case you do something legendary! Are you driven to be legendary or are you like the majority of business leaders chasing money? Make it your choice to draw the line in the sand and leave the excuses behind. Be the Best ... Stop Making Excuses! ------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff Levin is an Online Entrepreneur and founder of Team 20 - An "I Promote You. You Promote Me!" Network.
