The most recent statistics show that the number of self help books published in 2019 was 85,253. That number is close to more than three times the number that was published in 2014.
Alot has been written and there are many different well thought out ideas and plans that can help you be successful.
While many of the books are useful and thought provoking I believe we tend to overthink what it really takes to be successful at times.
In it’s simplest form I believe to be successful you can follow this simple three step formula and success will eventually find you.
1. Show up. Just show up and be early. Be where you need to be, are supposed to be and when you are supposed to be there.
2. Work hard. Every day. Do what you are supposed to do and do it with excellence. How you do your work matters.
3. Repeat the above two steps over and over again. When you feel like you’re getting stuck make sure to go back to #1 and #2.
That’s not a book’s worth of knowledge but I believe it can get you closer to being where you want to be if you do it consistently.
Meet Todd Gordon, a seasoned educator, coach, and activities administrator who dedicated an impressive 37 years to shaping the lives of students within the realm of education. His career has taken him on a remarkable journey through nine different school districts, ranging from the intimate setting of a small school to the dynamic landscape of a large, multi-high school urban district – truly everything in between.
In 2022, Todd embarked on a new chapter, retiring from his illustrious career in education. However, retirement did not signal an end to his passion for making a positive impact in the realm of sports and activities. Todd joined BOUND, a leading sports software company, where he continues to contribute his wealth of experience and knowledge to support activity administrators and coaches.
Beyond the professional arena, Todd’s personal life is a testament to dedication and enduring love. Married to his wife, Deb, for an impressive 40 years, they have navigated life’s journey together. Their family has grown to include three married children, each on their unique paths, and six delightful grandchildren who bring joy and laughter to their lives.
Todd authored and published his first book, “The Power of One. One Word Leadership”, in 2022.
His newest project is the “The Pursuit”, and it starts with new writings on a new page on this website. Todd delves into the essence of your daily pursuit of excellence, offering insights on growth, resilience, and the power of redemption. By weaving daily Scripture insights into our exploration, we bridge the timeless with the contemporary, inviting you to reflect on leadership principles grounded in spiritual wisdom.
