Food for thought... Inch by inch everything is a cinch. It's the small, consistent steps every day that lead to massive, exponential growth. This is what most people fail to understand. Once I understood this concept I took massive action. Over the course of five years I took consistent little steps every day while working a 9-5 to start/build up my company until I could one day resign and be my own Boss. Today I'm excited to say that Massive Kinetiks is poised to introduce new AI-based technology that will disrupt the electrical contracting industry like Uber did to the taxi cab industry. Do you want to change your life for the better and attain your dreams? If so, this principle is the foundation for doing just that. Much thanks to Andia Delancy for sharing.

This is what building bridges can look like.

In honor of National Basketball Association (NBA) All star weekend: When people ask who was the greatest basketball player of all time, they usually talk about championship rings, Lebron with 4? is it Kobe with 5? maybe MJ with 6? In our jobs, most of us are not the main person in the organization. Most of us don't do the main thing the company does. In Basketball terms, most of us are role players. But role players do make a lot of difference, when they know their role, and play it to perfection. My favorite role player of all time is Robert Horry, or by his nickname "Big Shot Rob". He earned that nickname by making a lot of big shots, as a role player. Somehow, he was always in the right place at the right time, and made the right shot. That is the same in our work lives, we need to identify the right moments where we can have an impact, and take the right shot. In our respective teams, most of us can't be Lebron or Kobe or MJ. But we can be Robert Horry. Oh, and by the way, Robert Horry has 7 championship rings, one more than Michael Jordan. Here is a great video about how Robert Horry did it: https://lnkd.in/d55nJPNG

Importance of Financial Self Defense - Now Available! 🙌 The beginning of the year is the perfect time to ensure you are on track to meet your short term and long term goals. The great Alabama coach “Bear” Bryant once said, “Defense wins championships,” and you can bet that almost every great coach in nearly every sport has shared that same philosophy. Just think about some of the great sports dynasties, teams that won championships year after year: the Green Bay Packers under Vince Lombardi, the Boston Celtics under “Red” Auerbach, or the Yankees under Joe Torre. The list could go on and on. Be sure to download our latest Commissioned Report by clicking on the link below: https://lnkd.in/gE93eaMi #income #financial #investing

A few years ago, I shared some stories about the beginning of my career in basketball and becoming a sports agent. I never finished the story, though. But I'm considering diving back into it now. In the meantime, please check out what I've already written. Here's the first one:

To mark Native American Heritage Day, here’s one to add to the reading list. Path Lit By Lightening by David Maraniss tells the story of Jim Thorpe, Olympic champion, football and baseball star, and member of the Sac and Fox Nation. If you’re interested in the history of how Native Americans have been treated in the US, the early days of Olympic and professional team sports, and the troubled life of the original “GOAT”, this is a #mustread #nativeamericanheritagemonth

Maxi-mum praise for this man! 1. You can beat the odds. The fight from 1% chance to going on to win the game. This game was a glaring reminder of how data is history, the odds are always just odds. That’s why you hear captains always come out and say “stats don’t matter, this is a new game.” 2. Players who show heart are rewarded in this game. Footwork? What’s that? There is no textbook, no manual for when all things fail. Maxwell was cramping, Australia staring at defeat and this man limping across the 22 yards. He single-legedly took his team home! What willpower, what grit, what heart! 3. The universe is on your side! We spend way too much time worrying about the uncontrollable, the universe is rooting for you - make the most of it. 4. It takes one day - one player can make a team win! Yesterday was a reminder that it’s never over, you write this script. It takes one day to make a hero, just a reminder that yours could be around the corner. Also, Pat Cummins, you beauty! Understood his role and stood at one end and executed his role brilliantly! #australia #maxwell #cricket
