Outdo Yourself

“Just Do It” – The simple yet game-changing phrase from the super apparel brand NIKE Inc. These three words have encouraged individual’s world-wide to push forward to the next step. The simplicity in this slogan is as beautiful as the brand itself. With words so simple and true, Nike has delivered uplifting motivation and drive since the beginning days, all of which can be summarized in a phrase that is perhaps as iconic and recognizable as the Swoosh logo itself. “Just Do It,” was created by Nike’s long-time advertising partner Wieden+Kennedy. When people hear the phrase it pushes you to either do whatever you want to do or move on to something new. Easier said than done, we would all be super achievers if it was as easy as the phrase. With a closer look at the phrase, one would discover that it ends not in an exclamation mark. Instead the phrase ends in a hard stop. This simply means you are going to do what you said, you want to do it right now, and with no excuses. When there is a task to be done, be proactive and get it done.

If you have big plans or even small ones to accomplish in 2016 and want to see them develop into something great, then here are a few ways to help jump start the process:
1. Be resilient every minute of the day (keep on smiling and ‘keep the glass half full’, no matter what)

2. Join or create networks where people challenge you to “Just Do It.”
3. “Just Do It.”
