THE OVERNIGHT SUCCESS
WE'VE ALL HEARD OF THE OVERNIGHT SUCCESS. In fact, we've probably seen more than a few and wondered...
... how they did that?
Might have even been us people are wondering about.
Well, here's the dill...
... nobody understands the overnight success like the athlete who navigated the dark hours.
The...
- predawn workouts
- post kids-to-bed gym
- back at the desktop because we hit the blacktop during the day
... efforts nobody sees.
I was thinking about that today because we've had some remarkable breakthroughs this month.
From cracking accounts that took years to get to setting up collaborations with brands who previously turned us down.
It's exciting stuff, and a reminder the overnight success...
.. is just an athlete or human or business who persisted.
Even when they didn't want to,
when it looked hopeless,
exhaustion a constant.
Or, as the great Dylan Thomas wrote....
Do not go gentle into that good night...
... Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
