BLOG: Do Your Job

"Do Your Job." It's the Patriots motto. It's what they live by. But what exactly does it mean?

It's actually very simple. "Do your job" has a very simple meaning. It means you are hyper-focused on just doing what you need to do, nothing else. You avoid any and everything that gets in your way from executing whatever task that needs to get done. Bill Belichick and the Patriots are experts. We can all learn a lot from from them.

There are a lot of distractions in the world. At work. At home. With friends, family. Distractions are everywhere. But being hyper-vigilant about you and what needs to be done, success will come.

Tom Brady is the quarterback. He doesn't get involved in what the defense is doing. He focuses on being the best quarterback out there. When Dion Lewis is in the backfield, all he's zoned in on is what he needs to do on a given play. He's not paying attention to Danny Amendola or Brandin Cooks or Rob Gronkowski. His attention is all about what he needs to get done.

It's no different than in everyday life. If you're a teacher, you're job is to teach. You may be frustrated about the curriculum, but you're job is to teach the students not voice your frustrations about things that you can't control.

If you can't control or change the situation, don't complain about it. Just "Do Your Job."
