Stay Humble. Stay Hungry. by Olibboy: 7:43am On Dec 08, 2019
Stay Humble


It doesn’t matter how well you are doing, or how
much you are winning; you need to stay
humble. Confidence is critical, but
overconfidence is a killer.






If you are number 1, know that there is
someone, somewhere, who will somehow find a
way to beat you. You may not know who they
are, you may not believe it’s possible, and you
may not see it coming. Right now, someone is
gunning for you. They want your clients, and
they want your spot.





Stay humble. Know that you can see your blind
spot, but your competitor just might. Believe
that you still have work to do. Be pleased with
your performance, without being completely
satisfied.



Stay Hungry





Success is funny. It can make you soft. You
lose the tight belly that comes from being
hungry. You can take your foot off the pedal and
let up, coasting for a little while.




If you are in first place, you have to challenge
yourself to extend the lead, knowing that
number 2 can very quickly become number 1.
And number 1 can quickly fall a place or two.




Stay hungry. Disrupt yourself before someone
else does. Raise the bar, and stretch yourself.
Set goals that are so high that you have to
change what you are doing. Don’t allow yourself
to believe your press clippings. The only press
clippings that matter are the ones still to be
printed.
