3 Things I Took Away from Austin Ekeler

This week I had the great Austin Ekeler on Office Hours. The LA Charger Running Back shares his thoughts on the mindset he’s used to become one of the NFL’s strongest players.

Takeaways

?Mindset doesn’t change overnight

?The strongest mindsets are built over time and that strength comes from consistent action. We must take accountability for the challenges we experience, look to learn from them, and leave no room for excuses. When we can apply that mindset to every aspect of our life, personally and professionally, that growth will pay dividends over time.?

?Invest and create a community

?Make sure that we’re paying it forward by doing what we can for our supporters. Find ways to connect and provide them additional value, especially in ways that are meaningful for them. When we can share our skills, knowledge, and desire in order to help others become the best version of themselves, we are scaling goodness.

?Leverage your platform for good

?As our profile grows, so does our ability to create a positive impact on other people. It is important that we remain grateful for the opportunities we’ve received along the way, and continually seek out opportunities to give our time, effort, emotional and even financial support. Use your situational knowledge to find ways to “open doors” for others and encourage them to do the same.
