The Accumulation of Work
I absolutely love the quote I posted earlier today by Jon Gruden that says “The accumulation of work is a powerful thing”. For those not familiar with Gruden, he’s a former NFL football coach. Whether you like him or not, I think it is a great point.
He stated the above while ESPN was showing some of Gruden’s former QB’s performing routine drills to increase hand strength and footwork. The drills were nothing special. The point was that the day to day work, no matter how trivial, adds up.
Imagine all of the effort and hard work by Ben Roethlisberger that led to his game winning completion to Santonio Holmes in the final seconds of Super Bowl XLIII. As fans, we see games and highlight reels. What we rarely see or think about is the blood, sweat and tears that lead to these moments.
I’m talking sports here, but this of course maps to all areas of life and business.
What work are you accumulating daily?
