The first man was in good physical shape and very muscular. The second man was in good shape but smaller in statute and wiry. They would chop wood all day and at the end of the day compare to see who had chopped the most wood. The first man laughed to himself that there was no way this wiry little man would beat him and so they began the contest. Every 45 minutes the second smaller man would take a break and seems to just wonder off somewhere. The first man laughed again to himself and said Yep theres no way this wiry little man is going to beat me. This happens several times during the day. At the end of the day the two men compare their piles of chopped wood and unbelievably enough the wiry little man has chopped twice as much wood as the more physically fit man. He says I dont understand. First Im twice your size and twice your strength! On top of that every 45 minutes you rolled off and took a break or a nap or something. You must have cheated! The smaller man says I dont cheat. It was easy to beat you because every 45 minutes when you thought I was taking a break, I was out back sharpening my axe. I love this little story because it really reminds me how important it is to sharpen your axe. There is another saying If youre not getting better youre getting worse. To continue to be successful you need to remember to sharpen our axe by reading books that are related to your business, go to seminars or surf the web for blogs and content.related to your business.
