I think after yesterdays game the GOAT in pro football has been defined and all discussion ended- As I watched Super Bowl LV, without a dog in the fight, my mind wandered to the fact that I was watching the "game", played by multi-millionaires who probably don't need to work a day longer- The fact that the work effort, the intensity to become masters of their craft, is no different that what we are challenged to do in order to win each day.  T om Brady epitomizes this laser focus, one that raised average players to Champions, that drew the retired, the dissatisfied to the TEAM and helped craft winners.  If we strive to be the best in our trade we can create the same results: attract talent, raise the moral and efforts of others, make a difference helping our clients- BUT are we putting in the time, the efforts to master our craft or just satisfied "getting by" and wishing we could win the big one-  B eing honest maybe the 1st step in this journey, just a though...
My dad worked hard to instill a work ethic in me, one I hope is honoring his legacy this many years later. One of my take-aways that I rephrased is "be faithful in small things, to be trusted in bigger things." So much of business done today misses the attention to detail, the pride in doing a job well- it kind of goes with basic manners, your word your bond, orders confirmed over a handshake and a smile that reveals your true heart. This PPE wild west has brought out some of the shadiest and unscrupulous players possible, people and companies taking advantage of the times- BUT if buyers look harder at the details, the lot numbers, tracking numbers, go to manufacturers websites much of the fakes would be exposed allow those who do it by the book to thrive- Let work to pay more attention and succeed together!
