I came across the following quote from a post on Instagram: “It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.” The journy of 1,000 miles doesnt begin with the first step - it begins with awareness. In sales performance that 'awareness" is critical - it is a level of self awarenes that might be beyond many - it certainly was beyond me for a long time. A line from their most famous song, David Byrne in Talking Heads asks YOU to ask the question: "you may ask yourself, how did i get here?" In trying to improve your sales performance you need to understand where you are, how you got there, where you wnat to go and more importantly are youy aware of what changing for success looks like? I have included a little clip at the end from Eric Thomas - the bane of every young sportstar's life....I hope you enjoy

You've been praying. You've been showing up. You've been making moves... but nothing's changing. In this week's episode, Eric Thomas drops a masterclass that will challenge everything you thought you understood about progress, blessings, and breakthrough. The truth is—God can't bless what you won't finish. Most of us start strong but never complete the assignment. And then we wonder why the favor isn't falling. Dr. Thomas goes deep on: Why starting isn't the same as being obedient How unfinished business is blocking your blessing The role of accountability in transformation What God's real standard is—and why "average" is not in His vocabulary How Genesis reveals the system for lasting impact: Start. Complete. Rest. This isn't just a sermon—it's a wake-up call. It's time to build your life, your relationships, your finances, and your calling… with infrastructure, not just inspiration.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Eric Thomas breaks down the difference between being connected and being covered. Using the story of Samson and Delilah, ET reveals what happens when we fall in love with people who don't protect our purpose—and how operating in transactional relationships leaves us vulnerable, distracted, and off our divine assignment. You'll also learn how agape love—like the kind Jonathan had for David and Ruth had for Naomi—can transform your life when you're truly under the right covering. If you've been doing life alone, loving without being loved back, or showing up for others who wouldn't do the same for you… this is your wake-up call. It's time to stop being exposed. It's time to get covered.
