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

I was able to go to the Pro Wakeboard Tour stop here in Washington last week. Got a little too much sun, but had a great time.

A conversation that Katherine and I had during the contest inspired this Productivity Nugget.

Check out the video hear what our conversation was and #why #the best in #world #fall #the most.

Are you falling enough in your business?

I know falling is scary. Believe me.

During my #wakeboarding days, my falls led to my having two messed up ankles, a jacked up knee, a bad back, a fractured jaw and some fake teeth. The jaw and teeth earned me the nickname "Chip" for the summer.

Falling is a way of progressing though.

If you want to progress you have to be willing to fall.

You have to be willing to discover the way something doesn't work.

You might be asking, "Was all the falling worth it?"

For me, "Yes."

I liked progressing. I liked getting better. I liked becoming my best.

Is falling worth it for you?

So, I could ask you also, is falling worth it for you, but that's the wrong question.

The right question is, "Is not falling enough, worth it for you?"

Is not falling bring the results you want?

Are you progressing the way you want in your #business with out the falls?

The best in #the world fall.
