Sometimes, what got you there won't get you where you want to go. Good advice in business, and good advice in going for it on 4th down. So, now the teams are set and I've picked my team for the Big Game. Here's some more good advice: Send in your nomination for this week's Nice Guy/Gal Awards. Every Friday, I’ll share nominations for people who have been identified as nice guys (and gals). If you want to nominate someone, just shoot me a private message by 5:00 EDT this Thursday. There are only 3 requirements: 1) you have to be connected to the person you nominate 2) you can only nominate one person per week 3) you can’t nominate yourself 😀   If you want to provide a brief reason for your selection, that’s great, but it’s not a requirement. Let’s recognize people who make a difference simply by being nice. Have a great day, everyone. https://lnkd.in/eY55XpTq   #network #sportsbiz #people #niceguy #networking #sportsmarketing

Extremely smart and intelligent team members tend to loose the initial value they bring when they dont have these two qualities and averagely smart team members with little or no skills, but with a high level of patience, perseverance and commitment to growing tend to acquire all the skills and intelligence they need and become extremely valuable to a team over time!

If you had a rough start to your day, here's a tip: Chop the day into 4 quarters. Just like any good sports team, you gotta know it's not how you start, but how you finish. Just because I stunk in the 1st quarter, doesn't mean I can't make up for it later in the day. This is how I think about it: I'm awake ~16 hours per day. That's 4 separate 4-hour quarters. If my 1st quarter stunk, that's OK. Still plenty of time left. Sometimes it just takes one good quarter of the day to make it a major win. So if you had a rough start... There's 3 more quarters in the day for you to come back.
