“If you want to ride the wave of life…
You need to show up,
Get into the water,
And give it your best shot”
This quote applies to life, surfing, and business!
It’s Saturday morning 7am,
whilst most teenagers are sleeping,
mine comes through to my room,
begging me to take him for a surf.
😜 It’s what happens most Saturday’s.
But…
Did I mention it’s winter?
And early mornings are cold?
Nevertheless…
we head down to the beach.
As he stands there looking at the wave,
Deciding which spot to go to,
I’m in awe of his desire & dedication.
And there’s no major goal that’s driving this.
Nothing that would pull him out of bed in this weather.
He just wants to get better and be the best surfer he can be!
It reminded me of the philosophy:
“you’ll only get better,
if you put in the reps”.
Improvement takes effort,
Repeat effort.
And as I’m looking at him putting in his effort, I’m thinking I should be showing the same kind of dedication to the social spaces - yes, I’ve been slacking a bit.
So if you’re like me,
thinking you need to put more effort into socials,
And you’re wondering where begin…
Then these 3 nuggets are for you today!
1️⃣ We need to show up
2️⃣ We need to get in the water
3️⃣We need to give it our best shot
And don’t worry about getting it perfect from the get-go either, your first post probably won’t be perfect.
But you need to start,
you need to keep learning,
Keep improving.
The more we do those 3 things,
The more reps we put in,
The better we get.
…and bigger impact we make.
🤔 what will your “life reps” look like this week?
