This was the night of the big championship win. Some nights are better than others.

The question my son asked in the car was simple enough, but the answer was a monster and would keep me awake for months.

Here are the four things that have helped give us long-term success:

1 Passion. If you are doing something you love, you can work unlimited hours.

2 A solid organization that has support systems and a record of success.

3 Successful coaches/mentors who taught us. You don’t have to invent the wheel, just learn how to make it work.

4 We developed our own plan that lays out the “What” and the “How” based on the our experience and information.

NOTE: Do not confuse long term success with short term success. Short term success is LUCK. Luck is being born on third and GOD throws a curve ball in the dirt allowing you to walk home on the pass ball. Luck is seductive, luck is temporary, luck makes people take shortcuts and risks. You can’t make a living on luck. You need luck- luck is nice to have- but you cannot depend on it.
