This made so much sense to me when I heard it..
I used to train jujitsu at a small school in New Jersey, and there was a guy there who went on to become a professional and he fought in the UFC.
He was being interviewed 12 years ago, and they asked him about how it all started for him, and his answer was this:
“I was in Atlantic City scheduled to fight, and several guys belonging to a reputable team in Florida were at the event as well. They saw me and invited me to go to Florida to train with them and the rest was history.
It wasn’t that the guys at my school in New Jersey were bad or not good to train with, they just weren’t taking it as serious as I was.”
Of the many jobs I’ve had over the years, people ask about what jobs I liked and which I didn’t, but I tell them, there was never a job I didn’t like. It always came down to the people I worked with.
And, so, I’m at this point again where I need to make a decision about my next job, and I’ve been thinking about my experiences and what my friend from jujitsu said.
Given what I know about myself-taking into consideration, my intelligence, drive to be successful, personality, and passion, I ask myself, “how do I go about finding that job or that group of people who can take me to the next level?”
What’s it going to take to finally cement a foundation from which I can build the rest of my life?
