Competition exists everywhere, when you are trying to get ahead. Whether you are trying to move up the ladder in the workplace or competing in sports or in a business goal, you may feel frustrated.

There is a perception that there is only room for one leader, one CEO, or one winner. Never believe that. There is an old saying that goes something like; “Getting to the top is easy, staying there is hard.”

What is “THE TOP?” The definition is different for everyone, and you should not be afraid of the next step up. Learning occurs on all levels. The skills we learn as we gain more experience are the tools that allow us to achieve more. It is rarely through conventional school that those types of lessons occur. It is through work experience and life experience that we become better.

When we are in this learning process, some of our lessons are not always pleasant, but certainly help you make better choices down the road.

Over the next few days, take some time to decide what your “TOP” goal is. You may look around you and see a number of people seeming to want the same goal that you are after. Don’t let that stop you and don’t let that scare you from moving forward. Everyone brings something special to the table. You can do whatever you want to do and be successful at it. Remember: “There is TONS of room at the TOP!” “Now, let’s get going!”  xo Sally
