Coaches are like great artists getting the stroke exactly right on a painting.\u00a0 They are painting relationships. Most people don't spend a lot of time thinking about how they are going to make someone else better. But that's what coaches do.\u00a0 It's what Bill Campbell did, he just did it on a different field.\"\u00a0<br />\r\nLott\u2019s first sentence is interesting.\u00a0 I\u2019ve noticed that most of the successful people I\u2019ve met spend time thinking, obsessing over their craft.\u00a0 At night, in the morning.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nWhether it\u2019s leading your team, being a better mother or being the top salesperson at your company, it\u2019s the after-hours that really make the difference.\u00a0 The constant thinking, tinkering, 1% changes you can make.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nMost people don\u2019t think that way.\u00a0 They flip on HGTV and watch mind-numbing TV until it\u2019s time for bed.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nIt\u2019s not for everyone.\u00a0 But if you want to be the top of the field, you need to commit to the craft.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n\u00a0<br />\r\nThis post is from our new series, Daily Momentum.\u00a0 Each morning, we send a short, inspirational post via email, blog and podcast.\u00a0 You can get it\u00a0directly to your email here.\u00a0 You can\u00a0subscribe on iTunes here\u00a0.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/84060626-235a-42dc-9a40-a1eead6830e0/eAA1TPwy9oTcEamuijU4gpev.png"}
