“Only three things you need to know to be successful” according to my first boss, “show up, shut up, keep up.” I’m actually not certain if my first caddymaster Pat Higgins said it or if after hearing it during my Evans Scholar days at Miami University I just attributed it to him, but as time went on I learned just how universally true those keys to success were.
It was awesome to hear that the all important first lesson – Show Up – was learned and is now taught by the 2018 Boston Marathon Winner, American Des Linden. In her words – “Some days it just flows and I feel like I’m born to do this, other days it feels like I’m trudging through hell. Every day I make the choice to SHOW UP and see what I’ve got, and to try and be better.”
