Point of reference…
“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
– Michael Jordan
For context…
I got thrown off of my college Cross Country team and lost my scholarship because of my “bad attitude”. I did not see the point of cellular telephones when they went commercial in 1985. I’ve had my heart broken by pretty girls. I have made and lost fortunes. I spent 61 days in the Boulder County jail. I have been married to the same girl for 16 years, and it gets better every day. My daughters are well adjusted and happy. I sponsor Hispanic youth soccer clubs and make sure kids go to school and have glasses. I get to help some of the top business leaders in the country make better decisions.
