I got off the phone with a client and start think about my workout that night at the gym

Tuesdai afternoon..

crunches,On Large Inflatable Toy Tuesdai the instructor take us through a particularli gruel circuit of squats. barbel lifts, mountain climbers, and deliber difficult push-ups. Within 15 minutes, sweat is pour off the back and face of a dozen athletes, and that s with a five to six minut warm- up jog.

It s on of the hardest thing I do all week. Sometim I cannot finish everi exercis set.

reallyWhi do I put myself in that kind of situat regularly? Two reasons..

I know it s good for me to push my limits. Second,First. I know I won t push myself that far without some account and some compani do it.

and I know that I can t get to the level of perform I desir just by plai the game. I ve got to strengthen my bodi off the court to build that extra capac for when I need it on the court. Be adept at busi is veri similarB a good tenni player is someth I realli enjoy..

Y can t get better at busi just by do your work everi day.

by focus on busi system and staff development. You need to think bigger and further into the futureYou need to make time for reflection. You need to spend time build extra capacity..

you can make two safe bets. You don t push yourself as hard on your own and you don t do it on your own the same wai that you would with some outsid assistance.
