Pedaling Through Life's Challenges: A Look Back

Howdy, fellow Hounds of Business!

You know, sometimes the most profound life lessons come from the simplest moments. I was reminiscing the other day about an experience I had with my daughter six years ago, and it got me thinkin’ about our journey in business and life.

Picture this: My little girl, who just turned six years old at the time, was finally ready to ditch those training wheels. Now, she was more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. She tipped over more times than a drunk cowboy at a rodeo. But you know what I told her? "Hun, don't focus on falling. Keep your eyes on the path ahead and just keep pedaling. Focus on going forward and not fallin’ off."

Now, six years down the road, I can't help but see how that advice has rung true in my own life and business journey.

We're all learning to ride without training wheels in our own ways, aren't we? Maybe you're trying to master a new skill, launch a business, or step into a leadership role. It's natural to be scared of falling, but if we keep our eyes fixed on the ground, that's exactly where we'll end up. If we focus too long on the negative or scary things in life we will accidentally bring more of it in our lives.

Instead, we are best served when we lift our gaze to the horizon. Refocus on your goals, your vision, the impact you want to make. Sure, you might wobble and fall a few times, but that's just part of the journey.

And here's the kicker - you don't have to do it alone. Just like I was there to steady my daughter's bike, we've got each other in this here Hounds of Business community. We're all about lifting each other up, dusting each other off, and cheering each other on.

Remember, every high-value, heart-centered leader and person started as a beginner. They all had their share of scraped knees and bruised egos. But they kept on pedaling, focusing on moving forward instead of fallin’ down.
Looking back, I see how my daughter's determination that day mirrors the grit we need in business and leadership. She's almost a teenager now, confidently navigating her own path. And isn't that what we're all aiming for? To move from wobbling beginners to assured leaders, making our mark on the world.

So, next time you're feeling wobbly on your journey, remember that little girl on her bike from years ago. Keep your eyes on the path ahead, surround yourself with supportive folks, and just keep pedaling. Before you know it, you'll be zooming down the road, making that extraordinary impact you were born for.

Y'all keep riding high, Hounds. I'll see you on the trail!

Such a powerful advice, Mike, thank you so much! 🙏
Waaay too often we focus on what went wrong & forget to move past it to make it right
