You can't control life.⁣ ⁣ But you do have an You can't control life.⁣
⁣
But you do have an opportunity to influence it because you decide how you will respond to it.⁣
⁣
When things don’t go your way, what will you choose? To be a victim & climb into the trunk?⁣
⁣
Or stay in the driver’s seat and choose to compete?⁣
⁣
I didn’t feel my best today.⁣
I actually haven’t felt my best this week.⁣
Mentally I’m still grieving Huck.⁣
Physically I’m exhausted.⁣
⁣
But I still choose to show up. It’s not pretty (it’s downright ugly some days), but it beats the opposite.⁣
⁣
If I can do it, you can do it.⁣
⁣
Choose to.⁣
Choose to stay in the driver’s seat.⁣
Choose to compete, because it’s the only thing that gives you a shot at breaking your current challenge. ⁣
⁣
It doesn’t matter what you feel like. It matters what you show up and do.⁣
⁣
I’m cheering for you 🙌
Most of us believe if we’re not light years ahea Most of us believe if we’re not light years ahead, we can’t help.⁣
⁣
I’ll never forget @PatFlynn dispelling that myth for me years ago when he shared on his podcast that you “only need to be one step ahead to help someone else.”⁣
⁣
One step.⁣
⁣
One way how you figured out how to balance working from home and schooling your kids.⁣
⁣
One step to how you’ve gone from never working out to being active just a few days each week.⁣
⁣
One step.⁣
⁣
It’s not much. But it’s a step that someone else watching you, hasn’t taken yet. You get to help them do so.⁣
⁣
If you want help taking the first step on your goals & systems, invest time into this week’s @17TwentyPodcast that I was fortunate to join.⁣
⁣
We talked goals, getting started, & how to take one step in the right direction this week.⁣
⁣
“Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?’” - Martin Luther King, Jr.⁣
⁣
So what can you do today to help someone else increase their life trajectory upwards? #CompeteEveryDay
I hate being referred to as the equivalent of Chri I hate being referred to as the equivalent of Chris Farley “living in a van down by the river.”⁣
⁣
If you get motivated by my message, that’s awesome.⁣
⁣
But motivation fades and this ain’t a “everyone is going to win” message I’m spreading.⁣
⁣
Everybody wants to win - but not everyone wants to compete.⁣
⁣
Because in competition, there’s a chance you’ll lose.⁣
You’re going to get busted up.⁣
You’re going to have moments of failure.⁣
⁣
Competition = life IN the arena.⁣
⁣
It’s bloody, messy, and imperfect.⁣
⁣
But it’s one heckuva better way to spend a life than wasting away on the sidelines, eventually playing “what if” at the end of life.⁣
⁣
So if you’re someone willing to #Compete, you’re in the right place. You’re my people, and I’m yours.⁣
⁣
If you’re going to show up today and do the work, I’m cheering for you. #CompeteEveryDay
You just have to start somewhere.⁣ ⁣ Don’t f You just have to start somewhere.⁣
⁣
Don’t focus on how far you have to go or how big your dream really is. Focus on how you'll move closer to it today through action.⁣
⁣
Don't let how big your dreams are deter you from starting after them.⁣
⁣
Even Champions start with their first step. If you want something, #CompeteEveryDay to GET IT.⁣
Go after goals that are SO BIG that you even surpr Go after goals that are SO BIG that you even surprise yourself when you achieve.⁣
⁣
Staying with what’s comfortable is for cowards. #CompeteEveryDay⁣

I have worked with great organizations in a number of industries, including a few listed below.

If you’re interested in learning more on how we can work together and help your team focus in and be fired up just like these teams, please contact me here.

SALES + MARKETING

“I invited Jake to join our 2019 DFW sales team kick off & needless to say he was a HOMERUN with the team. He did his homework to understand his audience and had us captivated from the start. To win over a group of restless sales professionals in itself is a miracle, but to hold their attention, spark thoughtful interaction and elicit genuine laughter – all while making excellent points about mindset, being intentional, narrowing your focus & how your daily habits will impact the value of your self-image & – well, it was outstanding to watch. He was a true professional from the beginning to the end & I would highly recommend him to present, coach or train at any event!” – STEPHANIE ALLEN, CAPITAL TITLE OF TEXAS

“Jake spoke at my real estate office last week to kick off our new year. Wow! He was amazing! He gave us the motivation needed to get things done in 2019. He gave us so many tips plus tools to use daily. I highly recommend Jake Thompson. I learned so much for my professional life but also tools for my personal life.” – ERIN CARLSON, EBBY HALLIDAY

“Jake was just what the doctor ordered for our annual team meeting this year. His message was clear and energizing! Our team is still Competing Everyday thanks to Jake and his time with us. If you want your team to get the mindset needed to elevate their game, then I would highly recommend having Jake come talk to them. Money well spent!” – TRAVIS DILLON, THE MARKETING ARM

“Jake kicked off our conference by bringing our theme of storytelling to life. Not only did he give our members valuable takeaways for everyday tasks, he inspired us to look inward to identify the makings of our own great stories. Jake’s motivational messages aren’t exclusive to any one field and the passion he has for what he does is contagious! Don’t hesitate in booking him for your next event. I promise your audience will still be talking about it long after it’s over!” – SAMANTHA MCCAIN, PUBLIC RELATIONS ASSOCIATION OF MISSISSIPPI

STAFFING

“We brought Jake out to start off our annual celebration to help motivate our team and get them in the right mindset going into the first quarter of the new year! Jake was fully engaged, entertaining, and committed to presenting a unique approach to being successful in a competitive industry! He provided several action items for each of us to take away with and help focus on the daily grind. Jake arrived early and stayed late exceeding expectations. He did not shy away from answering questions and making sure each individual left the room feeling better than when they entered!” – BAILEY GARRISON, TUSK ENTERPRISES

“Shortly after our firm celebrated a strong first year in business, Jake encouraged me to keep the momentum going! He supported me in establishing and rolling out our 3 Core Values in our 2019 Kick-Off Meeting. Jake was the perfect opener as he took the time to craft and deliver a message that was not only motivating but unique and relatable to our business and team! He was extremely effective in engaging the audience and leaving everyone energized and ready to tackle the new year. I would highly recommend Jake if you and/or your team are needing some extra fuel and fire!” – CAONHA DILLON, THREE POINT SEARCH

CORPORATE

“I hired Jake to capstone an all-day business event with a small live audience but a livestream audience of thousands. We added him to the agenda late in the process, but working with Jake proved to be one of the easiest parts of the project. He was available and responsive in the lead-up to the event, and he was right on time and ready to work on the big day. His presentation was creative and directly on point with our audience, and the feedback we received has been very positive. I look forward to working with Jake again if and when the opportunity presents itself.” – JACK GORDON, COLLECTOR.LIVE

“What an honor to have Jake Thompson present at our annual GMs retreat for P-Fit DFW. Our team enjoyed hearing his message on Accountability, Action, Passion, and Success – all relevant in any setting from washing dishes to running a Fortune 500 company! His message is relevant regardless of your history, your intent or your business.” – COLBY GREGORY, P-FIT DEVELOPMENT, LLC

“As an executive sometimes it’s challenging to find the time to work on developing and continuing to improve my own skills. I’m glad that I took the time to invest in myself and listen to Jake Thompson’s message of competing every day and what it takes to be a champion. His message brought a lot of perspective to what’s important in life and what is just noise.” – RYAN NEAL, PORT OF MORROW

“To say that I was bombarded by emails and excitement about Jake’s visit would be an understatement. The impact he had on my team was profound. He inspired them to live the compete lifestyle for themselves and those we serve. They are all still talking about it.” – LINDA ALDRED, TEXAS CHILDRENS HOSPITAL

“Jake’s energy, delivery, and ability to make the “7 ways to win in life” practical for the workplace and the home life was just what was needed in our plant. The material was very relatable for the diverse group of rising stars and leaders that attended. Jake was able to connect with everyone through his presentation and instill the competitive spirit it takes to WIN in ALL we do. It is truly great to see them spread the message and desire to Compete Every Day.” – JEREMIAH BYERLY, TRINITY HEADS, INC.

COLLEGE + HIGH SCHOOL

“We brought Jake in this Fall to speak to our athletes at the University of Central Arkansas & he was awesome! He talked to them about how to ‘Compete Every Day’. His topics were relevant & he really related to the athletes! I would highly recommend Jake if you are looking for someone to motivate your athletes or motivate your office workers!” – NATALIE SHOCK, UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL ARKANSAS

“Jake kicked off our 2019-2020 basketball season speaking to our basketball team, coaches, athletic directors, and administrators. I spoke with Jake ahead of time about the background of our team, and the high expectations we have for them. He absolutely nailed it! His message spoke volumes to our players, coaches, and administration. He challenged our kids and taught them about competing in school, life, and sports. All of the information Jake shared is content we can continue to build upon throughout the season. I highly recommend you invite Jake to come motivate your team!” – COLBY PASTUSEK, THE COLONY HIGH (TX)

“Jake was an inspirational speaker whom our students enjoyed very much. He is engaging and kept the students focused on his topic.” – RICK HARTZELL, UPPER IOWA UNIVERSITY

“Jake is an awesome speaker. He kept the athletes, parents, and coaches engaged throughout it. These young ladies took a lot from the talk about being a better teammate and wanting to be remembered for that. He helped us realize that we are competing daily with the person in the mirror and wake up ready to be better than the day before. He is a great motivational speaker, came early, and stayed late and talked with some of the athletes individually who had some questions. It is a no brainer to have him come speak with your team.”- JAMIE SIEGEL, FLOWER MOUND HIGH (TX)

“Our leadership students were inspired by the goal-setting workshop. Many of the students have referred to the goals they have set and are determined to achieve them.” – DAVID NORTON, RIVERSIDE JR/SR HIGH (OR)
