You are not doing all that you can do.

I spend my days working my ass off. Doing all that I can do to get results. It is a lot of blood sweat and tears. 

Many times I don't get results that I need. Sometimes I do, but that isn't what I am here to talk about. Im going to tell you that when you are doing all that you think you can do. Sometimes, many times, you are not.

Ever hear of Cliff Young? 

Every year, Australia hosts 543.7-mile endurance race from Sydney to Melbourne. It is an insane ultra-marathon where participants would run 18 hours a day, stop to sleep six hours and run all day again the race took about five days. In 1983 Cliff Young showed up in overalls and work boots, nothing like the professional participants that were there doing all that they could to win the race. Cliff Young showed these guys that while they were well trained and working hard, and pushing there limits, they were not doing all they could do.Cliff young ran the whole fucking race non stop with a goofy looking shuffle run. He won the first time he participated in the race. 

Cliff grew up on a farm, where he would run down sheep when he was young. He developed some insane discipline and had to push himself to develop his own style. A style that became a legend and blew away the competition. 

When you spend your days starting at your stats, building campaigns, outsourcing images. Think about Cliff Young, how he did something different, was made fun of and then served the competition their breakfast when they came in second.
