Have you ever wondered what a coach says to his players in the locker room at halftime? Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers is considered one of the greatest football coaches ever. Below is a list of 10 sayings he was known for. I imagine Lombardi threaded one or more of these quotes into every halftime conversation.
To all my clients and colleagues, this is half-time for the year 2022. My congratulations to those who are succeeding. To those who are working to get on track, I am sending this communication to encourage you! The first half, while important, isn’t the game. It’s the final score that counts. The summer quarter is the most important quarter of the business year because it’s when most people slack off. Now is the time to double down and turn up the heat at whatever your position is on the team and strive for greatness. Do extra, be extraordinary!
There is a secret formula for success. Do you know what it is?
While there are certain essential ingredients always in the mix, the truth is, I believe there is one common trait in every person who is thriving. They have a killer work ethic. They are up, and at it early. Every day! These people know how to grind. They have grit and they understand the meaning of perseverance.
Success is extracted from the grind of mundane work.
Do you wish you were Peyton Manning, Carrie Underwood, or someone else you admire? Only about 5% of what they do in front of the world is fantastic. What we do not see is the absolute mundane work they do before “showtime.”
The seemingly insignificant details. Dull routines. Done every day. Day in and day out, for years. This is the great divide. Great achievers grit and grind it out during the dull, boring, and mundane times more than anyone else. When you have done your best, these people keep grinding.
Here is my advice: master the mundane.
The mundane is where drift occurs, people lose focus and they can ultimately lose their business or their job. We must learn to push through and keep grinding. There is genius in being consistent – especially during the summer! Whether you do every aspect of the grit and grind yourself – or you partner with or outsource completely to a trusted advisor like Lasting Impressions. The win is getting your promotional marketing done – and done consistently.
At Lasting Impressions we can serve you with:
The retail names you love and trust like:
As your work team is returning to the office, either part-time or full-time, how about giving branded apparel to your employees? Research shows that wearing your company’s brand (or your organization’s brand if you are an association, college, club, etc.) provides people with a sense of belonging. According to Webster’s Dictionary, belonging is a basic human need, just like the need for food and shelter. “Belonging” is at the top of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. I think it's smart business to make people feel good about the team they play on. Click Here to Shop
Making a lasting impression is easy when you co-brand with a retail brand name the recipient already loves. The promotional products industry has aggressively created partnerships with brands your employees and customers covet, so I can assist you in adding your logo to just about any retail brand name.
From my perspective, a promotional product is an item of value that represents you, your brand, and the experience people have with your organization. I believe you purchase branded merchandise to make a positive impact and be remembered. My specialty is sourcing and creatively decorating the right swag to transform a typical product into a “memory hook.” The premium products you order from me will represent the idea or concept you want to enforce with your employees, clients, and prospects.
