Running My Own Race

Golden Parachutes — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 15:08:08 +0000

Recently, I decided to make a bigger commitment to my health and set a weekly goal of running/walking at least 10 miles per week through the summer (June 21-September 22). If I hit my goal, that will be 130 miles! I have not run consistently in two years so this will be a challenge!

So, I hit the trail for my first run of the summer yesterday (#5KOnAWeekday) and at the end of my run, I had an epiphany (I always get the best ideas while running or in the shower).

In the midst of the run, I looked around me and realized that some of the people I had passed in the beginning were breezing by me and conversely, I caught up with others that were far ahead of me initially. At some points during the run, I ran really fast and at other points I jogged slowly. At one point, I thought I had hurt my ankle so I walked slowly. But regardless of my pace, I finished.

When I crossed the finish line, I saw people finish in pairs, with strollers, on bikes, with lots of speed, while walking, while on the phone, limping, and even in a wheelchair. I realized that they finished as well, in their own way. MY way happened to be power walking while J-Lo’s “On The Floor” bumped through my headphones.

The point is, it is okay to use others as motivation or even inspiration. But at the end of the day, run your own race. Don’t worry about how fast or slow others are moving. Don’t concern yourself with the methods they are using to achieve their goals. And most importantly, don’t gauge your success with how you well you measure against someone at any given point in time. Even I am guilty of this from time and time. Keep your own goals in mind at all times and get there the best way you can, utilizing all of the resources you have available to you.

Remember: What is meant for you, is for you and no one can really prevent you from achieving your goals, but you. Don’t be your own worst enemy.

Get Your Career/Business Up To Speed With A Power Hour!

Golden Parachutes — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 16:02:30 +0000

What do you envision for yourself in 2012? Want to position yourself for a promotion? Need a BIG raise? Looking to transition into a new career? Want to firm up your business plan? All of the above??

If you are looking for some great advice at a great price, register with me for a Power Hour, beginning November 30th through the end of the year. We will use our time together to really get to the heart of your career or business needs and develop a plan that you can implement right away.

Prior to each session, you will have a small amount of pre-work that will help me to get up to speed on your situation very quickly. That way, we can dedicate your entire hour to strategizing and planning. No question or topic is off limits. I will share ALL of the strategies that fit for your needs.

The best part? The price is a FRACTION of my normal hourly rate. The fee for the Power Hour is only $79; however, I only have a limited number of slots available. When I introduce Power Hours in 2012, the fee will increase! Evening appointments are available.

So don’t delay, time is ticking. You owe it to yourself to make 2012 your best year ever. RSVP for your Power Hour today by emailing info@golden-parachutes.com!
