Skill + Do
Just when you think you’ve had a bad day, think about others out there – like Janet Guthrie – who have had to fight through barriers and walls much steeper than yours.
Happy 87th birthday to the first woman to qualify and compete in the Indianapolis and Daytona 500s (1977).
After earning her pilot’s license at 17, Guthrie graduated from the University of Michigan with a physics degree and became an aerospace engineer. However, none of that gave Janet the thrills and challenges of the speedway.
So why is this important to you, speed-racer sales pro?
Breaking into one of the most male-dominant sports of all time puts Guthrie on the Mt. Rushmore of courage and persistence. Janet’s story – and success – is something to study!
Put on your miner’s headlamp, dive into your basement or attic, and unbury that "ten percent more" Janet refers to in today’s quote.
Use that extra gear today.
It’s there…it’s just buried under all those emails and calendar invites.
If Janet can fight through obstacles taller than a mountain, you can fight through today’s BS and your broader challenges just fine.
