The Marathon

Business is a marathon. Life is a marathon. So what does the world's greatest marathon runner have to share about performing at your best? As the best of all time, Eliud Kipchoge has countless opportunities to make media appearances and live the life of a celebrity. He prefers a modest lifestyle with a singular focus on running. This, he says, makes him happy. “In life, the idea is to be happy, So I believe in a calm, simple, low-profile life. You live simple, you train hard, and live an honest life. Then you are happy.” That life takes daily discipline, focus, and eradication of distractions.  It takes planning each day with real intention. Allocate your time and plan around it before you start each day. What will I do, what won’t I get distracted by, what matters, and what brings me the greatest joy? If what you do day after day does not tick these boxes, maybe exit visas are imminent. © GB
