“If you’re bored with life, if you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things, you don’t have enough goals.”
Lou Holtz
Coaching Tip for the Week:
You probably know Lou Holtz from his football coaching fame. But what you might not know is that in his late 20’s, Holtz – married and expecting his third child – was out of work, with few prospects.
Rather than allow himself to feel defeated, Holtz sat at his kitchen table and wrote a list of 107 goals. Things like dining at the White House, meeting the Pope, coaching at Notre Dame, winning a national championship. Somewhat “impossible” goals, right?
The last account I read, Holtz had achieved 102 of those goals.
This week, write your dreams and goals. Don’t just think about them. Grab a notebook, head to a coffee shop or quiet setting, and dream on paper. Pay no attention to the inner censor, the voice that keeps asking, “But how?” Just write.
Throughout the year, I’ll share strategies for the “how” part. For now, capture your ideas on paper, and let yourself start getting excited for what’s to come in your work, leadership, and life!
