Police Academy! A timeless classic that made me the man I am today (seriously).
I was speaking to a fantastic client today and not so much talking pure ‘Marketing’ actually; I played much more to my Business Mentor side talking about many issues that confound us in life in business.
They are doing an incredible job in managing the multiple businesses they own and interestingly enough with all the work they are doing – they are getting a bit worn and overwhelmed.
I of course can only relate and commend them; life as an entrepreneur can be very much like it and I have been there many times (even recently) myself where you can in a way think the world is caving in on you with the burden of responsibility on ones shoulders.
This client is an amazing tough person who I have utmost respect for and as the conversation progressed, I couldn’t help but think of one of my favourite scenes from the 80’s film Police Academy. As the ‘unfit’ recruits were going through the Police Academy and think about the awesome supporting character “Officer Debbie Callahan” played by Leslie Eileen Easterbrook.
She played the blonde, beautiful and extremely dangerous fitness instructor for the cadets often beating up men, pushing men around and doing all sorts of cool stuff like that. In one of my favourite scenes everyone is doing push-ups and they can’t keep up with her strength and she says:
- MORE! I WANT MORE!
That actually formed the advice and thinking for my wonderful client today. Yes they are overwhelmed, tired and very fairly worn out (been there myself). My response is:
- MORE! I WANT MORE!
The reason being is that when you are winning, that is the time you must double down and go hard. If you relax and chill out, the business improvements you are putting in can snap back which isn’t a good move. Also as you push yourself more, you become tougher and what was say a strain 3 months ago is just another day today.
My advice? Don’t let your fatigue get in your way of winning. You feel tried? Awesome. Time to go hard and win.
- MORE! I WANT MORE!
Love your work, thank you Police Academy and stay awesome from Edward Zia.
P.S. Thank you wonderful client. You are an inspiration and love how much you are winning. Full nod to you.
