To mark Native American Heritage Day, here’s one to add to the reading list. Path Lit By Lightening by David Maraniss tells the story of Jim Thorpe, Olympic champion, football and baseball star, and member of the Sac and Fox Nation. If you’re interested in the history of how Native Americans have been treated in the US, the early days of Olympic and professional team sports, and the troubled life of the original “GOAT”, this is a #mustread #nativeamericanheritagemonth

Food for thought... Inch by inch everything is a cinch. It's the small, consistent steps every day that lead to massive, exponential growth. This is what most people fail to understand. Once I understood this concept I took massive action. Over the course of five years I took consistent little steps every day while working a 9-5 to start/build up my company until I could one day resign and be my own Boss. Today I'm excited to say that Massive Kinetiks is poised to introduce new AI-based technology that will disrupt the electrical contracting industry like Uber did to the taxi cab industry. Do you want to change your life for the better and attain your dreams? If so, this principle is the foundation for doing just that. Much thanks to Andia Delancy for sharing. And remember..NEVER give up! You Got This..It's Your Time to Shine! 💫 #MKALLDAY #propertymanagement #inspiration
The author James Clear defined it best in the illustration below. Kobe Bryant always talked about being better than you were the day before. Today, his legacy lives on as being one of the greatest basketball players ever. What if you just focused on getting 1% better each day? Consistency, consistency.

In honor of National Basketball Association (NBA) All star weekend: When people ask who was the greatest basketball player of all time, they usually talk about championship rings, Lebron with 4? is it Kobe with 5? maybe MJ with 6? In our jobs, most of us are not the main person in the organization. Most of us don't do the main thing the company does. In Basketball terms, most of us are role players. But role players do make a lot of difference, when they know their role, and play it to perfection. My favorite role player of all time is Robert Horry, or by his nickname "Big Shot Rob". He earned that nickname by making a lot of big shots, as a role player. Somehow, he was always in the right place at the right time, and made the right shot. That is the same in our work lives, we need to identify the right moments where we can have an impact, and take the right shot. In our respective teams, most of us can't be Lebron or Kobe or MJ. But we can be Robert Horry. Oh, and by the way, Robert Horry has 7 championship rings, one more than Michael Jordan. Here is a great video about how Robert Horry did it: https://lnkd.in/d55nJPNG

9moThanks for the rec, I look forward to reading this. BTW, if you plan to visit Jim Thorpe, PA and go to the Jim Thorpe Museum, keep in mind that Jim Thorpe never lived or even went there. The town acquired his body to bury there and it serves mainly as a tourist attraction.
