“Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind”When you put a frog into a pot of water, he is as happy as swine in stool.
Then, put the pot on the stove and add a bit of heat…soon he is in frog heaven. “Wow! A heated jacuzzi” he coils…and keeps enjoying and adjusting to the rising temperature.
As the water reaches boiling point, the frog cannot adjust anymore at which point he decides to flee the boiling pot of water.
He tries to jump but he’s unable to, because he has expended all his energy on adjusting to his environment…
Soon after the frog dies…What killed the frog?
Most would say the boiling water…but what actually caused the frogs death was his inability to know when to jump. Constant adjustment wore him out.
In business as in life, we are constantly adjusting. Sadly for many the adjustment takes the form of accommodating the downside. We keep lowering our standards until all we face is less love, less money, less sales, less quality of living.
Knowing how to jump/change or create new results and circumstances is not as important as knowing when as in this case. Knowledge is not power. Knowledge is Potential Power. It becomes ALL powerful when you use it.
Don’t get caught adapting to your environment to the point that you paint yourself into a corner. Know when to walk away from a bad business deal, the wrong company, emotional vampires, abusive and manipulative bosses etc. Failure to know when to jump could result in your declined self esteem, lower self confidence and high frustration. This multiplied, can only result in poor performance in almost all areas in life. Know when and how to create the incubator for your success.
Your greatest investment is into your personal and professional development. From that all the fruit of your investment can be realized. Without that, your a dead frog in a boiling pot of water.

Most people consider their home, cars, investment properties or investment portfolio’s as their greatest asset. I beg to differ. The greatest asset is standing in your shoes right now; YOU! You, the asset created the other assets through a combination of work, intellect, investment etc. Without you, the other assets were never attainable.
One small investment in yourself will yield countless personal and professional successes, like the apple seed and the apple tree farm. Yes! from one small apple seed you can yield an apple orchard. Your self development is, was and will always be in your hands and your hands alone.
Sadly most people finish school or university, find a job which they learn in the first year and then they stop learning and growing. They stop growing and learning and they wonder why they are not producing the results of their peers who are steamrolling through life, hitting home runs at work, health, wealth, relationships and are ever increasingly successful.
THE SECRET is out…If you do not invest in yourself why should anyone else? Today, evaluate in which areas you have stopped growing and challenge yourself to make that endeavour. Personal and professional development will keep you at the cutting edge of living your best life.
Here is how:
One millisecond can separate the winner from the runner up. That could mean the difference of millions of $’s in earnings. By committing to and taking action in your personal and professional development you are taking responsibility for your success and achievement.
“The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace” said Michael Jordan. He knows the difference between first and second place and because he worked harder than anyone else the National Basketball Association (NBA) website states, “Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time”. Ask yourself: What will the world say of YOU?
