PreparationI recently attended the NFL Pro Bowl. Suffice it to say, the level of play didn't match the season-long performance that led to the players' selection. It did, however, remind me of what I call the PRO mindset. Champions put the PRO in PROcess; that's why they are PROfessionals. When you commit to the PROcess, you start to see PROgress. You start to PROduce. You become PROlific. You achieve PROdigious feats. For all of that to happen however, the emphasis has to remain on making PROgress through PROcess. It's when we start to focus on the outcome that we run into trouble. The research confirms over and over that a PROcess orientation is more beneficial than an outcome orientation.
PROgress through PROcess. That's the PRO mindset.
