Practice Your Craft Today

Banish the future.

Live only for the Hour

and its allotted work.

Think not of the amount

to be accomplished,

the difficulties to be overcome,

or the end to be attained.

but set earnestly at the little task

at your elbow, letting that be sufficient

for the day; for surely our plain duty is,

 as Carlyle says, “not to see what lies dimly at a distance,

but to do what lies clearly at hand.’’

The only way to improve

is to practice your craft

until you know it inside and out

At first, you do what you know to do.

The more you practice your craft,

the more you know

But as you do more,

you will also discover more

about what you ought to do differently

At that point you have a decision to make

Will you do what you have always done?

or will you try to do more of what you

think you should do?

The only way you improve is to get out

of your comfort zone and try new things

People often ask me, ‘’How can I grow my business?’’

or, ‘’How can I make my department better?’’

The answer is for you personally to grow

The only way to grow your organization

is to grow the leaders who run it

By making yourself better,

you make others better

‘’Before you are a Leader,

success is all about growing you

become a Leader, success is all about growing others.’’

And the time to start is today
