life is what you put in

Results do not come without effort.

In the same vein, effort does not guarantee a specific result. In fact, nothing can guarantee the result that you want.

He is what I have learned from my experience.

While nothing can guarantee results, the only thing that can give you the best opportunity of becoming successful is by putting in an extraordinary amount of the correct effort.

For example, doing the bare minimum at your job, what is expected of you, will not lead to a promotion. The only thing that will increase your chances of getting a promotion is going above and beyond the expectation of you at your job. Asking what projects you can help with. Treating customers with first class service. Being an example for other team members. etc.

When I won the National Hare and Hound Open A Championship in 2020, I did not win a single race. What led me to winning that championship was showing up to every race, prepared, leaving everything that I had on the course, and earning a podium spot at every race I entered. I was the only one that year that was able to put in that level

consistent effort.

Here is one guarantee that I can make. If you put in an extraordinary amount of correct effort it will lead to results. Let's define correct effort.

Correct effort is something, a task, a workout, an action, that will move the needle towards a goal that you have. If you continuously execute correct effort, it will lead to you becoming successful and producing results. The success and results that come, may not be what you originally envisioned.

Wrapping this up, effort alone will do nothing for you. That effort has to be guided by your goals and the effort must move the needle toward those goals. This is what will lead you to being successful because life is what you put in.
