Secrets of Greatness – Is Talent Irrelevant?
Pay special attention to the example of the golfer and the bowler, and then ask yourself,

What are you wanting to be “great” in?
I recently spoke with a young man who told me his greatest dream is to “be the best
dad ever.”
Whatever you’re wanting to be great in, this article has some key insights…and raises
some key questions, that can set you further on your own path to greatness…and creating
the results you want.
Enjoy, and come back and leave your own take on:

in something you’re seeking to excel in?
What role does consistency play–and what factors have you found key to developing
long-term consistency and results?
Look forward to hearing from you, and to an intriguing discussion!
