Morning Motivator - Focus on Effective

"Focus on the one action that can make the greatest effect on success. That is your only, 'Best Choice.'"
- Zach Barker, author of the Morning Motivator (ha ha)

In the book I am finishing by Marshall Goldsmith, an interesting COMPARISON is made between golf and success. The idea surrounds PRACTICE of the "short game." Here is a paraphrase of the passage...

"It is common wisdom that 70% of all (golf) shots take place within 100 yards of the pin... Focus on fixing your short game; it represents at least 70% of your score. Yet if you go to a golf course you'll see very few people practicing their short game. They're all at the driving range trying to hit their oversized drivers as far as they can."

Amazingly, as a golfer, I know you can ONLY hit driver 12-14 times maximum per round, whereas you will putt or chip 40-50 times. So why would someone seeking to be a BETTER player, try to kill 350 yard drives? Are you a DRIVER or PUTTER at work?

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
What is the MOST effective action you can take at work to successfully accomplish your job?

Are you taking that action DAILY? If no, start immediately!!

With a clear UNDERSTANDING of what you need to do to be successful, a daily COMMITMENT to complete execution and a MONITORING system in place to demonstrate the results of your actions... Your SUCCESS is a foregone conclusion.

Take best actions, execute consistently... REAP THE REWARDS!!

Cheers,
Zach
