Prepare. Work Hard. Learn.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. – Colin Powell

How are you preparing? Are you preparing enough? Are you over-preparing?

Are you working hard? How do you know? How smart are you working?

What are you learning? Do you notice what works and what doesn’t?

Success isn’t complicated, but does require attention, intention and hard work.

As Zig says, there’s no elevator, but there are stairs.
