Tim Storey’s advice on work ethic and success begins with a proverb…
He who chases fantasies will lack wisdom, but he who works his land will have abundance.
When people come up to Storey, frustrated that it’s not happening fast enough…
…feel that they’re stuck in life…
or that the Too’s are kicking in…
Too old…
Too young…
Too soon…
or that it’s Too late,
Storey tells them simply,
“Go work your land.”
Your land is what’s right in front of you.
Whether you’re in junior high, a janitor, a salesperson, or a bottom rung manager, go work your land.
You wouldn’t look out over 50 acres expecting to see corn knowing that you didn’t plant any…
You can’t expect your seeds to take root without busting up the ground…
It’s in the digging-turning what’s been packed down for years…
It’s in planting not knowing precisely when it’s going to sprout…
It’s in the watering.
Watering for you is the reps…
In his book, Arnold Schwarzenegger said the secret to his massive success is reps, reps, reps.
You won’t get any better until you first get worse.
Reps, reps, reps…
Every day you’re showing up…
Reps…watering… reps… digging…rep…plowing…planting…weeding…
Reps… working your land…
Working to become a pro…
Then one day…
You’ll see the harvest.
When is not your concern.
You’ve just got to go work your land…
Whatever land you got, go work the hell out of it.
Until…
Until you get a harvest.
And when you do, your harvest is going to be so abundant that you’re going to need more land.
Have an amazing day & life.
