How Can I Get 1% Better Today?
The answer – Be More Like Zeb.
1% Better: Intentions Matter
No matter your line of work, you’ve seen two types of people:
✅ The Doers
❌ The Talkers
The clock watchers and the ones who don’t even realize a clock exists.
The actively engaged and the hands-in-their-pockets observers.
The ones who push the broom and the ones who watch the broom being pushed.
You get the picture.
At the core of the difference? Intentions.
Our actions follow our thoughts — and we are in the driver’s seat of those thoughts. Intentions are a conscious choice that ultimately turn into action.
Some people show up each day intending to get better and make others better.
Others show up intending to check the box and do the bare minimum.
Here’s the truth:
➡️ If you set out to do the minimum, you’ll hit that mark with almost no effort.
➡️ If you set out to be elite and add value, you can hit that mark too — but it requires effort, attention, and heart.
Most will choose the first path.
So why don’t you and I choose the second one?
Let’s show up today:
• Hands out of pockets
• Fully engaged
• Encouraging others
• Adding value to our team, business, or school
It has never been easier to stand out in the workforce — simply do the work. And when you do, not only will your results change… you will change. You’ll feel better about yourself. That’s a guarantee.
I’ll leave you with this:
Zeb, a coach I work with, shows up with great intention every day.
Warm-ups? He’s teaching.
Running? He’s coaching.
Lifting? He’s correcting.
His intention is to help others and help this program be great.
How about you?
How you intend to show up… determines how you actually show up.
Intentions matter.
Show up elite today.
Never Stop Getting Better.
