I've got 99 problems...... !
For most, especially the you younger ones you may immediately think of Jay-Z and his 99 Problems song.... "If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a ........." but in this case it's a different song.
It's a Greg-D song! "If you're having life problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but I changed my outlook and attitude and I've won!"
A lot of people complain, a lot of people blame others, a lot of people want a short cut, a lot of people forget that life takes work; and a lot are not willing to put in the effort for what they want, so they complain, point fingers and blame others. Over the years, I have sat in on as well as given many presentation; on fitness, on management, on motivation and other topics. I also am a big reader, I always have a book with me that helps "educate" me, and by education I mean teaching me and helping me do something, get better at something or simply remind me of what I have forgotten. People ask me what I read and who my favorite author is, but I really don't have one, there are way to many great ones and everyone has their own style and story to tell. But if I had to narrow it down, I'd say my John Wooden books are up there, and my Daniel Coyle books are up there as well. With this wisdom I have gained over the years there have been a bunch of "constants" that I always seem to run across from these successful people, these "constants" show up in almost every book and presentation. They are my 99 problems - "constants" that I feel today we fail to do and we neglect everyday. I've gone through my notes, endless pages and reviewed my presentations and listed 99 "constants" that we all should review and remember!
After you read this take a second to print it, then go through the list and write down next to each line if you are doing this and when the last occurrence was, I bet you won't use much ink but I hope you do. So challenge yourself to use a lot of ink, everyday!
These 99 words apply to EVERYTHING, EVERYDAY, IN EVERY situation! Do these as much as possible and you too will be a music mogul and you can sing, "I've got 99 problems eliminated".

Someone recently asked my if I make money on my blogs and if I don't why do I do them..... No to the first part, and as #11 and 12 go from the constants above, I also consider myself as one of the "others."
All the best,
Greg
