The other day I was at the dog park. It was freezing. Bitter cold to the point where my finger tips were freezing up on me. My dog doesn’t care though, she just wants to chase that tennis ball over and over. I use this time of being uncomfortable to develop some added mental toughness.

Opportunity is everywhere. I take full advantage of that.

While at the dog park I always notice the other side of the field where everyone gathers together in a circle and talks or gossips. The dogs are out on the field ding their own thing; humping each other, some taking craps, others wondering when their owner will attention to them.

The thing that struck me the most was on that very cold, I watched 2 dogs take a sh*t and their owners watched it happen.

They didn’t move. They kept on yapping away and didn’t do the right thing, the simple thing; Cleaning up after your dog.

The problem is deeper than dog sh*t. The problem here is in being lazy. Once you let something slide once it becomes easier to let it happen again. Soon enough, that lazy excuse becomes a habit.

As an entrepreneur I always have business running through my mind. I learn from everything. Watching these adults be too lazy to pick up their dog’s crap reminded me of many business owners who are not succeeding.

The little things add up. Do you see a gum wrapper on the floor? Do you pick it up or ignore it? Before you know it, within a few short weeks, there’s likely to be garbage and disarray everywhere in your place of work.

So when an entrepreneur tells me they can’t achieve this or they can’t do that, I know it’s not the case. The case is simple. You did NOT do it. Lazy did it. And that’s why you are where you are.

You’re either willing and ready to do the work or your lazy. The Great thing is that lazy is a choice. You can choose to be successful. You can choose to kick ass and take names. Or, you can be Lazy.
