Lance Armstrong on “Thinking about quitting” – for when you think things are a bit too tough…

by Business Coach James Hooper on 11/24/2009

“Quit? You know, once I was thinking about quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer, all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and I won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I’m sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying from that’s keeping you from the finals?”

- Lance Armstrong:

For all us Townsville Business Owners that may be hiding a little bit in “victim land”:

So what are you dying from that’s keeping you from the finals (or whatever you know you need to do but are deciding not to do)?

“Right now feels a little bit like shame.”

You know right now the top 3 most important things for you to do ‘fix’ whatever you think is too tough.  Write them down, put a little square box next to each one, then just get them done – and then tick the boxes.  Getting started takes you from wearing a ‘victim of the world’ hat – to wearing a ‘master of the world hat’.

Don’t look back on your life and wished you had simply changed hats sooner.
