Jason Martin recalls a training program 45 years ago where he noticed almost no one was taking notes. He took extensive notes with pen and paper to signal intelligence and preparedness, and saw it as a competitive edge that sets you apart from others in any professional setting.
So that's the power of one person. And so Shelby said, Bill, we need you to go to Jackson, Mississippi to go through training. Well, that was in my ears. He didn't need to say I love training. I was an athlete, I was a coach, so I knew the importance of training. And that's what you're doing here this weekend. If I'm sitting in a meeting like this, I'd have an ink pen, I'd have a notepad, I'd be sitting there writing everything down. Main thing is I'd want every other people around me to know that I was smart enough to know how to take notes. Okay, and so I wrote everything down, and about halfway through that meeting, I started looking around. I'm telling you, the God's honest truth, this is 45 years ago. I remember like yesterday. I started looking around that meeting. I said, you know, there's not many people here taking notes. I will smoke them.
