I’ve been told before “how’d you do that? No I’ve been told before “how’d you do that? Nothing led on you were preparing for X” 

You know what daily life can prepare you if you do it a little differently. Kinda like the @daveramsey principle we used to be debt free “Live like no one else so you can live like no one else” you can also apply to coaching and performance.

All the little things (the baby steps) that accumulate to be the big things.

This is just one facet of my life and I’m sure I could use a reset to “live like no one else” in other areas but what can you do differently to accomplish your goals?
