The concept this week. You don’t need luck; you need to do your best. As a football fan, I always look forward to the upset victories. Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals have made it increasingly difficult for smaller colleges to compete with the traditional powerhouses in the current college football landscape. Insert Northern Illinois’ upset victory over #5 Notre Dame. Notre Dame paid NIU almost 1.5 Million dollars to play them in South Bend, under the pretense that they would win big. As the number 5 ranked college football program in the country, Notre Dame was favored to win by four touchdowns against NIU. Last week, Notre Dame beat nationally ranked Texas A&M in College Station, and everyone believed that the Fighting Irish were on their way to the College Football Playoffs. Not so fast, my friends (Lee Corso Voice). NIU’s starters were primarily juniors and seniors who had been in the program for a long time. They know exactly what’s required; they have 10k+ hours in the program. After NIU beat ND, the post-game reporter asked the NIU head coach, Thomas Hammond, what he shared with the team to inspire them to win. Hammond responded, “I told my team we didn’t need luck; we just needed our best.” Don’t bet on luck this week if you don’t have to. Trust and believe in your best. Believing and obsessing about improving your best helps you avoid being outcome-oriented, keeps you present, and helps you progress towards that ‘big opportunity’. Look at this post-game interview! I love College Football for this reason. #MusaMonday #MondayMotivation

Good succession planning in action.

As part of being the greatest football coach of all time, Nick Saban is a leader that truly motivates and gets the most out of individuals. Regardless of the profession you are in, taking the time to listen to him speak will empower you to become a better person. Take time today to read up on and listen to some of his insights. "They don't make 'em like they used to." Thanks for the memories. #rolltide #smallbusinessmatters #commercialinsurance

The Detroit Lions, Past Failures, and Never Giving Up I'll get back to habits with tomorrow's post, but something happened last night... That contains an important life lesson too important to pass up. A little backstory... On January 5, 1992, the Detroit Lions defeated the Dallas Cowboys in their first playoff win in 35 years. Ever since then, they had failed to win another. Another three decades of futility. Until last night. A slew of various coaches, general managers, quarterbacks, other personnel, schemes and gameplans repeatedly tried and repeatedly failed to win again in the postseason. Until last night. When the Lions defeated the Los Angeles Rams in a nailbiter. Back when he was hired, head coach Dan Campbell told his players there would be ups and downs. And that things would be tough. But that he had a plan for them, and that if they simply trusted him, things would ultimately work out. And they did. Just because you might have repeatedly failed to shed those extra pounds, eat better, exercise more... And find the necessary why, who, and what to make it work. Does not mean you will always fail. Yes, there will be ups and downs on your health journey. And things will be tough. But I have a plan for you and if you trust me, things will ultimately work out. Pounds will come off. Clothes will fit better. And you'll start winning in the postseason playoffs of your life. #YourVictoryIsComing #AllGrit #OnePride #Lions #LoseWeight #GetInShape #Boomer #BoomPowerFitness #PuttingTheBoomBackIntoBoomer
