Don't Fall Prey to This Success Killer

When you've worked almost non-stop for years to reach your goals and finally get there, it is natural to take some time to enjoy the spoils — but this is where entrepreneurs have to be careful. It is at this point where it becomes easier to become complacent or not operate at the same level that got you the success. In short, we can become "fat and happy." I train every day for Ironman. I've competed in the World Championships. I have reached levels where I am Top 5% in the world rankings. There are times where I just don't want to do the things I need to do. Once you give in, you begin to set the bar lower and lower for yourself. Eventually, you lose your edge — the edge that brought you the success in the first place. Ask yourself: what are you going to do when this happens? Decide now so you are ready to push through and keep your edge.
