Yesterday we starting to look at the best advice I’ve ever been given. (Remember it was given to me by my leadership mentor, Lt. Col. John Folchetti.)   He told me to, “Ride Hard, Shoot Straight, and Never Lie.”

There is so much in those few words, that even though it stuck with me, it was years before I began to fully understand the scope and depth of his advice.  Today, we will look at “Shoot Straight”.

Shooting Straight, doesn’t really have to do with Rifle Marksmanship.  It’s all about being skillful.  In order to ever become  Peak Performers we must hone our skill set.  It’s not only the skills to do our specific job, but also what some folks call “soft skills”.  I hate to call them soft skills because the greatest “soft skill” you can hone is Mental Toughness.  Shooting straight, hitting the target, using good marksmanship skills is all about achieving your goals.  The marksman’s goal is the bulls eye of the target, the Peak Performer is setting out to do the same.  Applying the correct techniques on a consistent basis to hit the target requires Mental Toughness.

If you aren’t Shooting Straight and consistently hitting your target goals, check your Mental Toughness level.  Sign up for Newsletter and hone your Mental Toughness.

Boo yah!!
