Keith Craft: Winners initiate, losers procrastinate.
Winners initiate, losers procrastinate.
The thought behind the quote
What do you want? What do YOU need to do (initiate) to get what you want?
One common characteristic of WINNERS...people who lead themselves...is they are INITIATORS! They don’t wait for the game to come to them, they are GAME-CHANGERS!
My first Leadershipology (leadership philosophy) came from my dad. And now...the Rest of the Story:
My dad and I were in his squad car (police) and I saw a girl walking and said, “She is so beautiful!” My dad stops the car in the middle of the street...remember he is a policeman...and says, “Go talk to her Keith! Don’t just tell me that, tell her that!” I said, “No way dad! I was just saying she was pretty!”

By now, cars are stopped behind us... He said, “I’m not moving this car until you go talk to her! Always remember son: You can’t hit, if you don’t swing!”
I did talk to her! I was so embarrassed, but something happened on the inside of my 12 year old heart and it wasn’t about THAT girl! It was about INITIATING what I WANT...and not being afraid!
Thank you, Dad, for giving me the opportunity to learn to seize opportunities!
