Finish

What makes the Patriots in the NFL constant contenders for the championship?

They finish strong.

They never let up or look past the moment.

It is a philosophy that they start to understand from day 1 and they install in each team member.

The same goes for you in the work place and on each job.

It is when you look the other way or become content that you lose the edge.

You need to stay in the game from start to finish.

A elite household driver has to have eyes in the back of his head and the ability to hear all.

You need to be able to watch your crew and listen to your customer, all while working yourself.

The same goes for the manager or boss the the office.

Your job is not just what is in front of YOU but is going on around you.

A successful quarterback or head coach needs to be tuned in to everything that is going on around them. They need to be two steps ahead to prevent a loss and to move forward.

To profit in business you have to not only do a good job yourself you need to make those around you better. You need to make THEM successful. With that YOU will succeed.

No matter how sophisticated football gets in their schemes and play book it still comes down to the basics... Blocking and tackling. 

If they cannot perform those basic functions the rest does not matter.

The same with the crew chief and driver and manager.

You need to remember the basics. Finish strong, be in the moment and always respect those around you. Do a good job and makes those around you better.
