Robin and I decided years ago that we were going to live our life very intentional, very purposeful. I went through some pretty tough stuff early on in my career and it really changed the paradigm shift of my life and made me really think about things that were important. Now, I just want to ask you today, how do you win the day? What I mean by that is, are you living a life reactive or proactive?

Here’s something that I think is really important, not just in fishing, but in everyday life.
Mindset is everything. It doesn't matter what we're doing. Whether it's fishing or hunting or playing golf or working…or with our wife or with our children.
Mindset I think is a real important piece. Go ahead and watch the video to learn more about that I am talking about.

How do you get to a huge level of success and do it with shortcuts?

Let me tell you this and I'm going to be honest with you. I've talked to a number of people that are not that great as a dad and they're not that great as a husband.
I've made plenty of mistakes over the course of being a father and being a husband but you can't do that long term because what happens is you deteriorate the relationship with your children. Later on they're going to see this pattern and then the other thing that they're going to start feeling is they're under-appreciated, they're not important.
I just want to encourage you that if you don't make some radical changes it's not going to end well for you.
Let me ask you now, are you becoming the leader or father that is worth following?

Allow me to talk to you about committing to a constant and never-ending improvement. When I start thinking about my life, I start thinking about the businesses that we own and some of the things that we've done - it's been kind of 42 years of a constant state of improvement! Trying to move. It's always trying to do better.
One of the things we can do is to ask ourselves tough questions and then you know we've really got to do better as we go forward. I remember a quote that Oliver Cromwell said back, this is you know forever ago, back in the 1600s and he said, “He who stops being better stops being good”. I don't know about you but I don't want to stop being better. I want to be good all the time. I always want to be kind of making some progress, improve in small incremental ways.
