6-25-12 "Good is the Enemy of Great"

"Good is the Enemy of Great"

That is a line from Jim Collin's book "Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't".

The author's premise is that often times being good at something prevents us from becoming great.  He explores this theme as it relates to business and businesses that become great companies.

As I read the book however, I came to the realization that it also applies to our personal lives.  So often, we get comfortable with our lives and think, "That's good enough." My challenge for you this summer is to find an aspect of your life that you have gotten comfortable with and step outside your comfort zone.  Many of you have done that already with your health by changing the way that you eat or by becoming a part of our gym.

As many of you have already found out, the only way to add significant change to any area of your life, is to step outside of your comfort zone.  I ask the question, how many of you would have ever included 4 Rounds of Zercher Squats and Burpees into your day on your own?  Now, not many of us think of that as great fun, but after we finish we realize that we accomplished something that made us better.

So, to remind us of this, I decided that I would use "Good is the enemy of great" as the quote on our new T-Shirts.


These T-Shirts will be priced at $15.  We have sizes ranging from S to XXL.  We also have limited quantities of last summer's shirts that will be on sale for $10.  The Blue and Maroon shirts are the soft style shirts.
