Motivation in a MINI

It's pre Friday y'all! Time to reflect on the weeks wins and losses. What we get right, what did we get wrong. Because guess what, you still have today and tomorrow to fix them. The beauty of pre Friday reflection. I also share my confused thoughts on perfection. It's not real but it is real and I'll do a crazy job trying to elaborate. Weeks almost over, so no better time then now to WORK HARD & BE NICE.

Just like you wouldn't show up to an interview in sweats, make sure your resume sets the right tone from the get off. Having put a lot of work into my own resume and now on the other side reviewing resumes, let's get into some technicals on how to get that oh so critical interview. And that starts with your resume, the conversation starter. This is only part 1 on why it's so important. Tomorrow I'll also discuss on the more technical meat of your resume. It truly is the conversation starter so set the right first impression with it. Get that resume looking like a business suit vice pajamas. Half way through the week, let's continue to WORK HARD & BE NICE.

My day was made by a simple 5 minute video. 3 days in a row of people stepping up to put more gratitude and kindness in the world. And I couldn't be happier with the results. So let's talk about the dividends such a simple act can pay. I'm motivated to keep being a better version of me. So I've got to do my best to help you become a better version of yourself. Super excited Tuesday. WORK HARD & BE NICE.

The irony is I could never stand that saying. I still don't. And if you also noticed I intentionally phrased it differently. But I used it because i try to be understanding enough that just because it's not my cup of tea doesn't make it so for everyone not named Rico. (Hidden tip of the day) Now, how can you thrive during a pandemic? Not just survive, but thrive. What can that be for you? What can that look like and how it can really redefine you going forward when we get the society machine rolling again. Hop in the mini and listen. I love you'll. It's Monday so no better day to WORK HARD & BE NICE.

Let me share some tough feedback on how we all can get better. Tough week, tough feedback, tough times. But guess what, tough times never last. Tough people do. Resilency builds up in all of us when we get out our comfort zones. That's my challenge. WORK HARD & BE NICE! Love you'll. Have a great weekend.

My best episode to-date. Let me share a fantastic love story that means everything to me. But it's not all about me. There is some deep motivation and inspiration to take away from this awesome podcast. WORK HARD & BE NICE. That was inspired by Mrs Besse. And she is the #1 reason I'm doing this podcast so it's fitting to dedicate this episode to my beautiful wife. Love you honey. Thank you for everything you have done and everything you continue to do. I still don't deserve you.

You may not be a runner. In fact you may detest running and cardio alike but it has great lessons to offer. This episode was very organic because I had no intention of speaking to the subject that I did but in that way I like it even more. The parallels between life and running, as I'll show you, are sorry fascinating. Let's get in the Mini this foggy Monday morning to dig up some sweet sweet motivation. Only one way to start our fresh week, by WORKING HARD & BEING NICE.

It doesn't sound exciting but it's very important to a growth mindset. Reflection and review folks, its critical. Just look back on the week with open, honest perspective to figure out what you did well, YEAH!, And what you can improve, not so YEAH. Motivate yourself with some credit for your W's but take those tiny L's to course correct yourself to more success. Ultimately it's going to lead you to greater personal and professional growth sooner. No Shortcuts in life, just being smart and efficient. I love you'll. Have a safe weekend. Recharge. Refocus. And always always always, WORK HARD & BE NICE.

Don't be afraid. I'm not asking anything crazy of you. What I'm asking, I know that you fully can achieve. 2 Challenges that are simple in action steps but will take some effort on your part to accomplish. But I fully believe in you to rise to the challenge. And yes, a car crash 100% did happen. Crazy Thursday morning but I'm pumped from making this episode. WORK HARD, BE NICE. #gratitudechallenge

"He who has a WHY to live can bear almost any how.". So what's your WHY? Is it clearly defined? Does it truly drive you to be excellent every single day you get the chance. I can not stress enough the importance of discovering your why and it unlocking your true passion and purpose. I'll share with you how I discovered my why through a lengthy military career of ups and downs. Love you'll and please be smart, be safe. Time to WORK HARD and BE NICE.
