What Successful People Never Do

Ready to rise above? Welcome to another inspiring episode of The Cory Lee Show! In today's episode, Cory dives into the essence of what it means to be a champion, both on and off the field. Drawing insights from a chapter in his book, "Champions: The Lifestyle, the Attributes, and the Choice," Cory discusses how champions refuse to play down to the level of talent around them. Through personal anecdotes and powerful quotes, such as Ralph Marston's "excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude," Cory challenges listeners to cultivate their natural talents intentionally and never settle for mediocrity. He shares a pivotal life lesson from an unexpected "average" performance review at his first job, emphasizing the importance of putting effort into areas of giftedness and not just coasting on natural ability. Cory also illustrates the metaphor of the egg, carrot, and coffee bean, urging champions to influence their environment rather than be shaped by it. As the episode progresses, Cory tackles the concept of "good being the enemy of great" and the significance of making sacrifices to achieve greatness. He concludes with an encouraging poem about embracing the season of waiting and making the most of every opportunity. Join Cory as he inspires you to maximize your potential, rise above settling, and embrace the journey to greatness.
