183 days 4392 hours 263,520 minutes 15,811,200 seconds Monday July 1 was halftime for 2024. #Coaches, #leaders, #teams have a few choices at halftime. If you look back throughout history in sports, military battles, organizations, and companies, you can find wonderful #comebacks and triumphant wins. You can choose how your personal, professional and team’s second half of 2024 will go. In the video from the movie, Any Given Sunday, Al Pacino is Coach Tony D’Amato of the football team the Miami Sharks. In the movie, a scant 4 years ago, the team won a #championship. Now the team struggles with personal challenges, injuries and conflict with much internal and external strife.   This short clip from halftime, the #coach attempts to rally and #motivate the team to find it in themselves to rise up, heal as a team or fail as individuals. Victory Strategies This week’s #wednesdaywisdom is about finishing strong in the second half. Where will you find your motivation for the second half? “It always seems impossible until it’s done”. Nelson Mandela “ The best way to predict your future is to create it.” Abraham Lincoln “Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.” Marilyn vos Savant https://lnkd.in/epbn6FYu

Who is Tulsi Gabbard ? At Pure Sprout Microgreens, we’re inspired by stories of resilience and leadership, and Tulsi Gabbard’s journey is one that truly stands out. Tulsi has shown the kind of mental and physical strength it takes to lead and create meaningful change. Here are some of her remarkable accomplishments: Youngest person elected to Hawaii's state legislature at 21. First Hindu and American Samoan member of the U.S. Congress. Presidential candidate for the Democratic nomination in 2020. Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve with two combat tours. Her ability to rise to challenges reminds us that true leadership requires perseverance, adaptability, and a clear vision. Now, as Director of National Intelligence under the Trump administration, Tulsi will oversee critical departments, including the CIA, NSA, and Homeland Security, and serve as the principal advisor on intelligence matters to the president. In the video below, Tulsi joins Cameron Hanes on his show Lift, Run Shoot. They discuss various topics while hiking up a mountain with a boulder in hand. As Cameron puts it she is "strong and capable". Nature teaches us humility and perseverance. Her journey reminds us that health isn’t just about physical fitness—it’s about mental resilience and the strength to keep moving forward, no matter the weight you carry. That’s a message we can all draw inspiration from, whether we’re leading teams, building communities, or striving for personal growth. 🪴 Big growth starts with small steps- or sprouts!

Inch by inch…. Fighting like a Team. Just watched one more time “Any Given Sunday” movie and I really love Al Pacino’s “Inch by Inch” speech. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of perseverance, teamwork, and the cumulative value of small efforts. The metaphor of fighting for every inch reflects the struggles we face in life, where progress often feels slow and hard-fought. Yet, these inches—seemingly insignificant on their own—add up to monumental achievements when pursued relentlessly. The speech also highlights the interconnectedness of individual contributions within a team. Success isn’t achieved alone; it requires collective effort and trust in others to strive just as hard for those incremental gains. Ultimately, it’s a call to embrace the grind, to fight for progress in the face of adversity, and to recognize that greatness comes one small step at a time. Let’s goooo Inch by inch 👌 https://lnkd.in/duEHRQ_8

“Winners are just dreamers who never gave up!” — Unknown As football season kicks off, I’m reminded of the powerful message in one of my favorite movies, Rudy. It’s a story about perseverance, resilience, and heart—all qualities we need to achieve the goals and dreams that drive us in both life and in our careers. Here are some lessons from Rudy we can all apply in our professional journeys: 1. Suit Up: Equip yourself with the tools to succeed—resilience to fend off negativity, and the ability to communicate wisely and always surround yourself with positivity. 2. Find Blockers: Build a strong support system. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and will help clear the path, be it mentors, colleagues, or close connections. Take advice from people you would trade places with! 3. Know the Plays: Approach each task with dedication. Always give your best, even in challenging situations, and bounce back quickly when things don’t go as planned. 4. Tackle: Confront the obstacles—fears, doubts, and setbacks—that stand between you and your career aspirations. “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.” — Henry Ford This trailer of Rudy’s story is so inspiring: #PersonalGrowth #Leadership #Tips #PBC #PhyllisBrowningCompany #RealEstate #Mindset #Inspiration
