#WednesdayWisdom

Here’s a powerful piece of #WednesdayWisdom from two-time Olympic gold medalist, Shaun White. How do you plan to be your best possible self this week?

…I realized the world of business really separates into…two groups. The attackers are the entrepreneurs who are disrupting the status quo, trying to change the world, take the hill, anything is possible, and have nothing to lose in most cases. They’re driven by passion and the idea and intensity. Large organizations — and it’s true of Fortune 500s and it’s also true of governments and other large organizations — are defenders. These guys aren’t trying to pursue the art of the possible, how to maximize opportunity. They actually are trying to minimize the downside, and hedge risk. They’re trying to de-risk situations. Entrepreneurs can’t even think this way. It’s not even a concept they understand.

this is very true and is the reason my business is such a good one

"It always seems impossible until it's done." - Nelson Mandela, 1918-2013

It seems impossible that the life of one of history’s greatest leaders is over. As we remember the legacy of Nelson Mandela, we celebrate the lessons he taught us all about the depth of human kindness, compassion and the will to persevere. May he inspire us all to never stop chasing our ‘impossible’ dreams.

No one who ever did anything with their life did so by ‘chilling out’ or ‘having a life’. The people who left a mark on the world were people who slogged and slogged and slogged. They loved slogging. They worked their asses off. That is why you remember them. So ‘chill out’ all you want. But don’t...
