Growth Instigators Hotline

I went to a movie and was so inspired I found myself researching “augers for trucks”…

Thank you for calling GIH where we instigate growth one call at a time where we utilize antiquated technology to deliver 3-minute leadership lessons every day of the week!  This is message #116 and I am Aaron Havens.

This weekend I watched Twister 2.  The truck used to chase down tornados had a couple augers that would dig down into the ground to keep it in place.  Talk about cool.  I was super intrigued by this.  The Hollywood vehicle is based off of an actual vehicle that does something very similar.  Obviously, when chasing a tornado… securing to the ground during 200+ mph winds, could prove to be a super brilliant approach.

Time to dig in my friends.  The storms are coming. 
Time to lock it in. 
Time to get resolute.
Time to plant our feet firmly to push back the storms that come our way today.
So what if the winds are strong.
So what if the hail comes.
So what if the rain is pouring. 

Today is our day to persist. 

Ray Kroc: "Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.”

Our lack of connections.  Our lack of education.  Our lack of talent.  Our lack of getting a big break will be made up for by persistence.  When the world around us is shape shifting and changing their minds and pivoting… we will remain resolute on the thing we know to be true in our life.  We will park our storm chaser truck, drill down the augers and refuse to move.  This is why the other company will fall short, the competition will dwindle and the competition will fall behind.  When, within ourselves, we will determine to stay the course… we will remain while others dissipate. 

Thanks for calling in today.  Tune in tomorrow for a fresh new topic!  After the beep: Whew… this was a good one.  A great reminder.  Where are you dropping anchor, digging in the augers and resolute on persisting?  Give me an example of where you’ve become resolute.
