Summary
Once you start reading a lot, accomplishing more, and experience higher levels of success, a new danger arises... you begin to think you know it all. Arrogance floods your judgement, and you begin to ignore the fundamentals that got you where you are.
One of those fundamentals is consistency: the ability to show up, day in and day out, regardless of the circumstances. In this episode, I share a clip from the book "3 Feet From Gold" by Sharon Lechter, where she helps illustrate the power of this fundamental within powerful clarity. #Bars

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the sports motivation podcast. It's your host, Nees Shobo. Today's another episode of |
| 0:05.6 | bars, and I happen to be breaking down a page from a book that I recently read. It's called |
| 0:10.3 | Three Feet from Gold. Turn your obstacles into opportunities. It's by Sharon Lector with the |
| 0:17.7 | Napoleon Hill Foundation. And I had heard about this book from somebody. |
| 0:23.6 | And something just, I had heard about it. |
| 0:25.6 | And then several months later, I just had the instinct just to buy it. |
| 0:29.6 | And I'm really, really glad I did. |

| 0:44.4 | books. I think they're a good sort of change of pace from sort of like the dense self-help books, |
| 0:51.5 | if you will. But this is certainly a book that aims at transforming your mindset, particularly towards |

| 1:10.3 | And then they ultimately ended up |
| 1:12.2 | accomplishing big-time things. So I'm sure you probably seen that picture of the two people |
| 1:18.3 | close to getting gold, and then one of them turns back. It's actually based on a true story. |
| 1:23.6 | They talk about this story in here. But anyway, I want to read you an excerpt from page 111 if you happen to get the book. |
| 1:30.6 | And let me read this and tell you what I'm talking about. |
| 1:35.5 | Do common things in a common way to get uncommon results. |
