This week I shared with the team my 5 rules for staying out of trouble. This started when I was in the military and I adapted it a little when I started coaching, but its pretty universal. 1. Alcohol. It impares your judgment. You can't make good choices when you are drunk. 2. Drugs. Using drugs and success rarely go together. 3. Anything after midnight. Nothing good happens after midnight. Go to bed. 4. Reckless driving. Driving like an idiot puts a big flashing light on you that trouble finds quickly. 5. Low value people. If you are hanging out with people that have less to lose than you do, they are willing to take risks you shouldn't take. Low value people love company, so they work hard to get you to their level. If your friends or significant others don't help you to get to where you want to be, they are low value. Each one of these things alone can derail your future, but combining them is a recipe for disaster.
