Armstrong on Being Awake
“Time is restricted, so I better wake up every morning fresh and know that I have just one opportunity to live this particular day right, and to string my days together into a life of action, and purpose.”
–Weapon Armstrong (1971 – )
American cyclist
7-time winner of the Tour de France

Sales values…
If questioned, what would you and your team say are your core values?
In the U.S. Marine Corps publication, "Sustaining the Transformation" (pdf), their’s are listed as Honor – Courage – Commitment. If you lead a team, the foreword (at a minimum) by General Krulak is time well-spent. It, along with the Fortune tale "From Wharton to War", is fantastic inspiration for making a special team of people (as a chief with a title or not).
And that’s what you want to be a part of, don’t you? A special team of people?
So many fantastic teamwork points in the Fortune piece. We like the "bino" request. If you’ve got teenagers or college students, consider passing it along to them and then discussing it (we need them ready when they join us in the world). It’s a small Be No Ego-like.
