Son of a Coach

I recently sent this email to the Boundless sales team. Based on the positive feedback received, I thought I would forward this to the blog. The hope is that it will assist someone with “getting into the end zone.” As we all know, market conditions are tough for the promotional products industry. The theme of this message is that you can never replace hard work.

Best of luck – JB

Boundless professionals…

Being the son of a coach, this video (below) struck a strong cord with me. Starting at a young age, my father would push me, challenge me and sometimes bring me to a breaking point.  Candidly, some of those times he pissed me off.

He followed his “lessons” with the statement, “if it were easy, then everyone would do it.”
When I got to college it finally all made sense, and I realized just how much my father loved me.

Being a pain in the ass was his way of teaching me the importance of not taking life for granted and maximizing my potential.

Right or wrong, I feel like the coach in this video (at Boundless). I started this company not for personal gain, but to provide a business for people to maximize their potential.

I encourage all of you to put the blindfold on… don’t let the burn slow you down… push yourself until it hurts… and go to the end zone.

I hope this video can serve as some encouragement for you. Recognize that “if it were easy, everyone would do it.” You have all the assets you need—just keep going!
