This is an indictment that all of us should integrate and allow it to penetrate all the way down to our bones. After we have cleared the gang of opposition that always presents itself to us when we want to accomplish a goal, there are a precious few of our friends, family, and associates that remain. This group believes in us. They go so far as to say it out loud and to tell us to our faces that they want us to do well and that they are pulling for us.
This group of people that truly believe in us demands that we crank up our dedication and our efforts. These friends deserve to be shown that their belief in is not wasted. They need to know that you are living up to your own expectations which serves as a great foundation for our fans to continue investing in their support for our endeavor.
I always point out the various bands and groups that perform in front of thousands of their faithful fans and how they dress like slovenly, dirty, bums as they play the best music in the world. To me these self absorbed little punks display the greatest disdain for the public that pays their salaries. It’s total disrespect for the people that truly love their music. The paying public deserves to be counted as worthy and appreciated. Nobody is arguing that they are bad musicians. We just think they need to act like professionals
When it comes to us, we have to have a sense honor and respect for all those that have invested themselves in our support. Demonstrate to them that they are important and that we truly care about making them happy since they have become our partners in success.
Bottom Line: We dare not insult those that believe in us by not dedicating ourselves to winning. They have given of themselves and we dare not let our dedication decrease. We may never get this sort of personal endorsement back if we denigrate our closest fans belief in us. They deserve our best so never give it away…..This is a very hard life lesson—so let’s learn it well….
