Don't "Have To, Get To"

Get past 'hard'. "Eat that frog" by tackling the hard thing first.

Approach challenges with the joy of competition. Don't "HAVE TO. GET TO." 

She can! 

A coach/PT that uses my plyo system has been using plyos in his rehab process and has coached this amazing 63 yr old woman to hop. Don’t tell me you shouldn’t be doing hopping with young athletes. Plyos are the fountain of youth, start hopping! pic.twitter.com/5aSTSHIoZv

Your MVB "Brand" is success. So many amazing young women doing amazing things.  

To become the best you are capable of becoming is never about what you say you want to be—it’s always about what you do to become your best. Two “musts” if you truly want to become your best—must own up to what you do or don’t do—must demand that people hold you accountable.

Benjamin Franklin declined the family business (candle making) to embrace a longer trade, apprentice in printing... nine years. He took articles, cut them up and rearranged to improve his writing.

Navy SEALs have six months of grueling training, culminating in "Hell Week," before earning their SEAL trident. Then they undergo an additional two years of training before deployment. 

Born in 1475, Michelangelo crafted 'The Pieta' at 24. People asked how he created something amazing so young. He answered that it's not a miracle if you've trained for over a decade for ten hours a day. 

Whether you adhere or not to Malcolm Gladwell's "10,000 hours" to develop expertise, mastery does not arrive overnight. Gladwell got "Haterade" and responded. 

"There is a lot of confusion about the 10,000 rule that I talk about in Outliers. It doesn't apply to sports. And practice isn't a SUFFICIENT condition for success. I could play chess for 100 years and I'll never be a grandmaster. The point is simply that natural ability requires a huge investment of time in order to be made manifest. Unfortunately, sometimes complex ideas get oversimplified in translation."
