Accolades Follow Action



Accolades Follow Action

We love the cheers of the crowd and the crowning ceremony for our victory, but that never happens at the beginning of the Olympics.  It always happens after the race has been won.

Same with leadership.  Or any “label” we want to wear. 

We do the thing first, and then earn the title by which others call us. 

It’s true in any field.  A welder is a welder first in his mind, and then he earns the license.

A salesman is a salesman first, and then he earns the income to prove it.
Leaders lead now.  They earn the title later. 

 
What is your title?
What are your actions?

Accolades always follow action.  We may think an athlete will win, but they don’t’ get the gold unless they are the first one to cross the finish line.

I had to write and publish a bunch of blogs before others began recognizing my skills and called me a ‘writer’.

Step out. 
          Sit in front. 
                    Speak up. 
                              Do the hard work.

Do the thing, and then earn the title.
