Successful People Do Tough Things

CEO Blog

Yesterday, my run seemed hard. (I tend to push myself and rarely do an easy workout). What kept me going was the thought "discomfort precedes success". In that case, health would be the success. One mantra I have used "Successful people do tough things". This has inspired me to tackle some of the tougher calls, study some of the difficult things etc.

This young woman, (played by Dolly Parton ), was delightfully guileless and dished out her unadorned advice with clarity and good humour. For example, her counsel to one caller who was obviously playing the martyrdom card went something like this: “ Get down off the cross honey, somebody needs the wood!
