Clip: Push Yourself – Control what you can control: How hard you work

July 4, 2017 By Scott Ingram

Clip from Episode 21: Social Selling his way to the top of the NBA Development League – Allen Schlesinger of the Austin Spurs:

Push yourself. I know it’s kinda cheezy, but. There’s certain factors that you can control and there’s certain that you can’t. But you can control how hard you work. And you can control: I can outwork the person that sits next to me. And so putting yourself in the best chance to succeed is probably by doing that. That’s how I’ve been successful and that’s how I’ve seen others in the industry that I’ve just tried to learn from. My boss in San Antonio is probably the hardest working person I know. He’s been with the Spurs for 17 years. So about almost double as long as I have, and he actually wakes up at 4:30 every morning. So he’s got me beat by an hour because he goes to the gym for an hour every morning. It amazes me because I can literally text him at 6:30 about a question about a deal I’m working on and within 5 minutes he’s responding at 6:30 in the morning.
