Dear John,

Do you have high expectations that often
end in disappointment?

High expectations for business success
or career advancement?

High expectations for how well your
children will do in school or in relationships?

High expectations for the goals you want
to accomplish?

We are all familiar with the idea of lowering
our expectations so that we are not
disappointed.

The fact is that both high expectations and
low expectations can lead to less than
desirable outcomes. Disappointment and
settling for mediocrity are not things we
want to deal with on a daily basis.

Here is a great quote I picked up from
listening to Tim Ferris on Dave Ramsey’s
Entreleadership podcast.

“We don't rise to the level of our expectations,
we fall to the level of our training.” -Archilochos

I love this quote! Don’t fall into the trap of
judging yourself on what you hoped would
happen, but rather on how much you trained
and prepared yourself to insure the best
possible outcome.

"You are Born To Win, but in order to be
the winner you were born to be, you
must Plan to win, Prepare to win, and
then and only then can you Expect to
win.” -Zig Ziglar

Dad had it right. High expectations are
perfectly fine, as long as they are based on
the planning, preparing, and training necessary
to achieve the outcome.

You are Born To Win, so go ahead and Live
To Win!

Tom
