Earlier in the summer I was reading a book by Donald Trump entitled "Think Like a Champion". Each short chapter is dedicated to a different idea including one labeled "treading water". In the following three pages he goes on to talk about the work that one does.
Think about the amount of work that you during throughout the day, the week, the year. Next, think about what it is exactly that you do for the same periods of time. Now, answer this question honestly:
Are you working to just "get by", or are you working to "get ahead" and expand your position or business?
They are two completely different things. We need to move away from doing only the amount of work to satisfy our supervisor or our target numbers and start doing extra. Why only get $2,500 in sales a month, even though that's your minimum, when you can do $10,000? The same thought can work in every aspect of your life.
You translate the question into another form:
Are you treading water not to die? Or are you treading water to swim?
