Home Staging Commitment
How committed are you to the success of your business?"Very committed," you answer.
"Prove it," I respond.
"How?", you quiry.
My answer:
Are you willing to do the things that other people are not willing to do?
Olympic Gold champion, Mary Lou Retton, gave up living at home with her family at the age of 14. She moved to Texas to live with a total stranger: Bela Karolyi, the world famous gymnastics coach, who is extremely hard on his athletes.
Karolyi changed her whole technique, diet, schedule - everything. She practiced 7 days a week while other young girls her age were having fun.
A few weeks before the summer games, Mary Lou's knee locked up. She had torn cartilage fragments wedged in her knee joint. Orthoscopic surgery was needed.
Less than 10 days later, Mary Lou was back practicing.
In her final event, the vault, she needed 9.95 just to tie the Romanian leader.
Giving it everything she had to give, Mary Lou tore down the runway and sprung for her life. A perfect 10.0 score! And even though she didn't need to vault again, she took the optional vault, and again scored 10.0!
Success cannot elude someone this dedicated.
Is that someone you?
