Ten Secrets to Success

Leave a comment

7 strong at The Stockade. We began with warm-ups (SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, and extended plank stretches).

Next, the main event. When you have been around for a while, you can recycle your old workouts. Pro tip: Be sure to do a backblast so you can copy and paste the content.

I always enjoy reading and hearing about success stories.  The struggles, hardships, and the eventual victories.  Since I am old as dirt, I can tell you there is no secret sauce but I came across this list of traits published by Investor’s Business Daily after studying leaders and successful people.  These  traits, when combined “can turn dreams into reality.” 

Back to the workout. . Each trait was read then we completed 90 seconds of the exercises listed below.  We ran a lap around the carpool circle and repeated process until all ten traits were covered.

 HOW YOU THINK IS EVERYTHING: Always be positive. Think success, not failure. Beware of a negative environment.  (Merkins)
DECIDE UPON YOUR TRUE DREAMS AND GOALS: Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them. (Squats)
 TAKE ACTION: Goals are nothing without action. Don’t be afraid to get started. Just do it. (Freddy Mercuries)
 NEVER STOP LEARNING: Go back to school or read books. Get training and acquire skills. (Flutters)
BE PERSISTENT AND WORK HARD: Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Never give up. (Carolina Dry Docks)
 LEARN TO ANALYZE DETAILS: Get all the facts, all the input. Learn from your mistakes. (Plank Jacks)
FOCUS YOUR TIME AND MONEY: Don’t let other people or things distract you. (Lunges)
DON’T BE AFRAID TO INNOVATE; BE DIFFERENT: Following the herd is a sure way to mediocrity. (Shoulder Taps)
DEAL AND COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE EFFECTIVELY: No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others. (Calf Raises)
BE HONEST AND DEPENDABLE; TAKE RESPONSIBILITY: Otherwise, Nos. 1-9 won’t matter. (Burpees)

Great job everyone!  

Final note..I know from experience that you tend to fall on your face several times before you see a victory.  It doesn’t get easier as you get older, but you continue to get up, dusts yourself off, and keep moving forward.
