This September I’ll be riding my bike from Toronto to Quebec City to help kids with cancer go to camp so they can experience the joys of being a kid.
I’ve set a goal to raise $25,000 for this amazing cause. When I decided on this goal I asked myself 3 questions:
- Can I do it?
- Do I want it?
- Am I will to do what it takes to get it?
The answers to the first two questions were easy to decide. The third one, not so much. Raising money is hard. Whether you’re raising money to take your business to the next level or to help a worthy cause, it takes time, energy - and most importantly - the ability to face your fears with consistency and perseverance - and push yourself through the darkness.
This is true of so many important challenges we all take on throughout our lives. Most people I know want something important - to improve our health, to repair a relationship, to make that next key hire, to go after our dreams - but the unfortunate truth is too many of us struggle to do what it takes to get what we want.
And this is one of the things I love most about my work as an EOS Implementer. I help people get what they want.
For those unfamiliar with EOS, it is a two year journey to master a simple, complete, and proven system to get what you want from your business. And the journey starts with a question…
Are you willing to become your best?
This deceptively simple question contain 4 key words that are pure magic when it comes to doing what it takes to get what you want…
You - Only you can do this. You must take complete ownership. You are accountable for making today great.
Willing - You’ve got to want it. In fact, the number one cause of misalignment and disharmony within in organization is that their leadership team no longer wants it. This applies to the individual as well. We see misalignment between our behaviours and our desires when loose focus on what we truly want. You’ve got to want it!
Become - This is a journey. It takes time. It is a process that requires disciplined effort applied consistently over a long period of time.
Best - one of life’s greatest pleasures is achieving our potential. It take work to do this… and it’s totally worth it!
So here I am, facing my fear, and asking you to help me achieve my goal of raising $25,000 for a camp that does amazing work for kids and families going through the fight of a lifetime. Every dollar helps. Every dollar is appreciated. Every dollar makes a difference.
Dream big, execute, and make the world the better,
Gavin
