With all of the work I’m constantly working on, I wanted to share where I get my work ethic from. It’s from a few places but the main one is my parents. They always give their all into their jobs and I acquired that from them. Their knowledge in the field they work in, I ended up doing similar things (for now) and they’re smart and inquisitive.
The other aspects of my work ethic come from a drive to succeed, being an athlete and being competitive as ever. I’ll break down these aspects of me as best as possible. The drive to succeed is more of, I don’t want to work for a company for another 30 years before I can think of retiring. I know that my GOD give talents can take me places, I just don’t know where yet.
Being an athlete, I always want to win at anything I’m good at. Basketball, I’m good at and my competitive edge comes out of me when I’m playing. Even if I’m playing against my friends, I want to beat them so I have something to brag about and I will keep playing until I win. These things apply to my writing in a few ways.
When I write book series, I’m competing against myself to see how great of a book I can write. In my mind, I am working diligently to make each book better than the last one and to bring something to that specific book that you’ll remember.
With each book that I write, it’s improving and honing my craft. I’m always working on something that will affect my future. Whether it’s this blog, a book, a podcast, a video, that’s what matters to me. I don’t know how long all of this will last so I make sure that I give 100% everyday. I make sure that when this is all over, that I gave my all in everything that I did.
Be good everyone and go accomplish your goals!
