You Have One More!

A poster that says `` one more '' on a black background.

"And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles." Matthew 5:41


Go the extra mile. That's what this passage means to me. 


Many folks live with a 'good enough" mindset. Good enough is a "half assed" mindset that basically says you do the bare minimum (and even sometimes less than that) to get things done.


That's not my style. And I encourage it not to be your style either.


One of my favorite podcasters is Ed Mylett. He's an extremely successful presenter and speaker. I like what he teaches and I've learned a lot from him. His philosophy in life and everything he does is based on self improvement. He preaches constant steady improvement. One of the core values I live by.


His podcast is one of the most followed in the world. He walks the walk and talks the talk.


One concept he teaches that really resonates with me is called "ONE MORE." ONE MORE is a fundamental concept to keep moving forward and having success in EVERY area of life. It is the complete opposite of 'good enough.'


"ONE MORE" is the mindset of going above and beyond, of going two miles instead of one. 


It is the mindset of EXCELLENCE not mediocrity.


Here are some examples:


It's running around a lake and doing one more lap despite feeling tired and tempted to walk to your car.


It's lifting weights and doing 1 more set or 1 more rep even though you've done the prescribed reps in the program. 


It's making an extra sales call to blow away your sales goal for your business even though it's the end of the day and you're just a little short and it's not "good enough" 


A "ONE MORE" mindset sprints through the finish line rather than limping or crawling to it.


"The race of 2022" is in the final leg... the fourth quarter.


Will you sprint or crawl at the finish this year?


You have one more BIG GOAL in you.


It's time to finish strong!


We want to help you knock it out and put ONE MORE WIN in the books by the end of 2022.

A group of people are running a marathon on a city street.

Yesterday was the 40th running of the Twin Cities Marathon - The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America! If you are like me, you stop everything to take it all in. Marathon Day is one of my favorite days of the year! A happy place! So much goodness packed into one perfect fall day! And yesterday was no exception! 34 years ago my friend and I were curious. What is the marathon anyway? It was hard to visualize people running 26.2 miles from the Metrodome in Minneapolis to the Capitol in St. Paul. So without the assistance of Google maps, runner tracking apps or cell phones, we headed to St. Paul to "find the marathon." We rolled down our windows, drove up the Snelling Avenue hill and listened for people cheering. Sure enough we found it!

This is a sign that hung in my college football weight room. It meant a lot to me. It's what motivated me to put in extra work and ultimately become a scholarship athlete and starting offensive guard on the football team. It wasn't always like that though. My life could have been drastically different - and not for the better.
