On Thursday – April 2nd I was at Gate A2, getting ready to board my plane from Seattle to Phoenix for Joe Polish’s Mastermind Group, when I noticed a young man wearing an interesting sweatshirt.

This kid couldn’t have been more than 16 years old, and his sweatshirt read, “PFS… On And Off The Field”.

I was curious as to what it meant, but because I had to get on the plane, I didn’t have an opportunity to ask him about it.

At least not at that moment.

As fate would have it, this young man wound up sitting right next to me on the flight to Phoenix.

What made this more interesting was the fact that I was in first class.

You don’t see many teenagers, traveling by themselves in the first class cabin.

I gave him a chance to get settled in and get comfortable before I popped the big question.

“So…”, I said, “What up with your sweatshirt. What does PFS mean”?

“PFS is Practicing For Success”, he replied.

I thought to myself, hmmmm, that sure is interesting.

Practicing For Success… On And Off The Field.

My question sparked a conversation that lasted the entire 2 hour and 14 minute flight to Phoenix.

And in the process, I discovered that this 16-year old young man is gonna go FAR in life.

Truth is, he’s already accomplished things that most would think impossible, yet he’s just getting started.

And the reason – His football coach has instilled him with the right attitude.

You see, he understands that in his current endeavor, which happens to be football in this case, he’s “Practicing For Success”.

By that, he understands that he’s going to make mistakes, as we all do. And that’s part of practicing.

But here’s the real kicker.

This concept is true for EVERY area of our life, whether it be relationships, sports, or business.

My mentor, Matt Furey, taught me this some time back.

Since coming to the realization that it’s okay to make mistakes, and that the process of making mistakes leads us to HUGE breakthroughs, my entire way of thinking has changed.

I used to be afraid of mistakes, but NOT any more.

In fact, I LOVE making mistakes.

To be more accurate, I LOVE learning from my mistakes.

When it comes to business, most people find themselves paralyzed, unable to move on to success, because they’re afraid of making a mistake.

It may surprise you to know that even today, I make a ton of mistakes in my business, and will make many more in the future.

But… I’ll never make the same mistake twice.

I make a mistake, learn from that mistake, make necessary adjustments and continue moving forward.

This is called “Practicing For Success”.

And the good news is, when you’ve made enough mistakes (and learned from them), you’ll find that you’ve become more successful than you ever imagined – in ALL areas of your life.

So get out there and make some mistakes.

Get out there and “Practice For Success”.

Dedicated to your success,
