Building Business & Building Muscle What Do They Have In Common

If you walk into most successful businesses, you’ll notice they have something in common, my professor, Peter F. Drucker, used to say.
“They’re boring.”
Oh yes, they’re making money, but basically, they’re lifting the same rock up the same hill, day after day.
They’ve developed routines that they find are efficient.
Muscle is your body’s wealth, something you draw on for energy, power, and propulsion. It is stored capacity, waiting to be deployed.
And it is the residue of routine, as well.
If you ask most people why they don’t start or stick with exercise routines, you’ll generally hear the reply, “It’s boring!”
They have a basic misconception about wealth.
It’s all about creating a surplus, whether it’s of energy, money, or power. If you hope to survive as a business or as a body, you need to build a profit, a surplus.
A fit body is the vessel that will transport you from a healthy today to a healthy tomorrow. It is the defense against a potentially hostile or sudddenly competitive environment.
It is also a source of self-confidence and a visible statement of your belief in your own capabilities.
And it results from doing that extra repetition; an added set of exercises that you think you just can’t get yourself to do, because it’s too hard.
Or, because you told yourself, “It’s too boring.”
