There is an old question: How do you eat an elephant? Answer: One bite at a time.

Success is just like that. Success is being just a little better each day. Success is like your Zone diet. Your muscle up. Your handstand hold.

If you want to court failure, try to re-imagine EVERYTHING all at once.

If you've recently taken stock in your business (which I suggest at least 2-3 times per year) and find you have a lot of areas needing work dedicate no less than 30 days to improve a given area. Look for a change over a year period. Your business will not look a lot different in a day or week but it will in a year.

Here is a list of things you could get just a little better at tomorrow:
Listen to your clients - REALLY listen
Show up 5 minutes earlier for class - cause I know most if not all barely get there on time
Look for the good - coaching isn't always pointing out the flaws
Saying "thank you"
Understanding the movements by watching at least one video on CrossFit.com

Got something to add?

Great post as not only will it make you sick to try to eat the elephant all at once, you ensure overall failure. Personally have been trying to practice the serenity prayer on a daily basis. . ."grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference." Thanks for the reminder!

Great Post, I agree with all the tips on coaching and owing your business not just running it. I would add to show massive appreciation for your clients / members this is so easy to do but yet very few coaches do this. And the one thing that has helped my business alot is is to ask my self in certain "uncomfortable" situations what would I do if i were not afraid?

Love the first 30 sec. of this one. It's a great example of what he does and what he offers. Definitely should be similar to a "what is crossFit?" question... Good energy and passion for what he does, sounds familiar!
