It's Christmas Eve morning. Slowlaners are happy to have a "day off." Many are still asleep, with visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads.
I was in bed at 6AM. Logged into the forum from bed, on my iPhone. Then a realization kicked in.
I was being out hustled. By someone whose 2014 results... were better than mine. A friend of mine was on the forum late last night, updating you all on his Shark Tank success. He was then back on the forum this morning. Christmas Eve. While many of us were sleeping. He was already in the grind. Working on tomorrow. Making things happen. @Likwid24 was up and at it before I was. This is part of his secret formula. He doesn't take time off even when he takes time off. He's going to extraordinary lengths today so that tomorrow, he can live like nobody else can live. A few years from now, he'll have the beach lifestyle some people only dream about. But today? Today he's up before the dawn. He's logging Michael Jordan's 100,000 shots. He was kind enough to chronicle a glimpse of it for you last night.
I was talking with @AllenCrawley yesterday about 2015. Allen had a hell of a year, as many of you know. However, it's not time to pop the champagne just yet. Right now, while everyone else is sleeping, it's time to kick 2015 into gear. New plans, new items, new venues, new strategies. One step ahead. Then two steps ahead. Then three. These quiet moments, when everyone else is catching their breath. When everyone else is counting their Christmas sales. When everyone else is... well... sleeping. Now is the time to lengthen the lead.
I got quickly out of bed. Grabbed a sugar free rock star, and turned on the Christmas tree lights. In the glow of the Christmas tree against the dark morning is where I sat down to knock this post out. I am now off to work on my business. I'll be damned if anyone is going to outflank me starting today and into 2015. My competitors are sleeping. I hope you are up, rejoicing in the season, and looking at how 2015 is going to be different for you. I hope you got up before @Likwid24. I hope you're making things happen while everyone else is sleeping.
One thing @ChickenHawk says that should affect you even if you are not a writer. You must write faster.
