Gordon reflects on the book ‘Running With Sherman’ and discusses the lessons we can all take from it in the way we approach getting to the life we love.

Often people get focused on their goals and forget the basics but looking after yourself and making sure others are part of your journey is what makes the difference along with finding what brings you joy and making it part of your life.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There is a temptation when aiming big to do everything yourself
• You need to take other people on the journey with you
• Often it’s the things you take for granted that slow you down
• It can be possible to stop doing the basics when you are pushing hard to achieve your goals
• Look to leave others in awe of your achievements but also make sure the basics are in place
• You must make sure your basic needs are being met so there is a good foundation to build your success on
• A winning mentality is key so turn winning into fun for yourself
• When you find something you enjoy you need to try and find ways to be successful and win at it as part of your life
• If you can build things you enjoy into your life you will be closer to living the life you want

 

 BEST MOMENTS
