Measuring Success

Motivational Power Quote

Measuring Success

“The real contest is always between what you’re done

and what you’re capable of doing.

You measure yourself against yourself and nobody else.”

Geoffrey Gaberino, Olympic Gold Medalist Swimmer

Measuring success

The real measure of success is measuring your results against what you’re capable of achieving and doing.

It takes real courage to measure yourself against what you’re currently achieving and what you’re capable of doing. When you can make consentant incremental improvement to what you’re doing today you become better at what you’re doing.

Concern yourself about getting better not about what you competition is doing.

We are compensated for what we know and what we do with our knowledge and skills. When we compete with ourselves we have make a decision to get better them we was yesterday and to make each day a day of becoming better at what you’re doing

The best way to earn more is by getting better.

Measuring success is measuring ourselves against ourselves and getting a little bit better every day and as we improve we are putting down a strong foundation for our future success.

Our Toughest Competition

Motivational Power Quote

Our Toughest Competition

“Our business in life is not to get ahead of others,

but to get ahead of ourselves –

to break our records,

to outstrip our yesterdays by our today.”

Steward B. Johnson, author

Our toughest competition


We come face to face with the competition everyday of our lives. We face the competition every time that we look into the mirror; the competition is the competition of our mind.


To achieve greatness in our lives we have to become better at the things we do. To achieve success we have to be better today then we were yesterday.


The foundation of long term success is found in constant incremental improvement. That is where we compete with ourselves on a daily basis and continue to get better.


The standards of improvement are how much do we improve by measuring our progress against ourselves. In the long run we have to face ourselves everyday and we are the only that can make an honest evaluation of our self, our progress and improvement.


Our toughest competition is our self; and to get better then our competition we need to have personal and constant incremental improvement on a daily basis.
