We had dinner with NASCAR driver Kurt Busch while he was in town last week. During the meal, he casually mentioned he had something in the trunk to show us after dinner.
As he unlocked and opened the giant case, my jaw dropped. Nestled in foam was his Harley J. Earl Daytona 500 trophy he won a few weeks ago.
Since winning it, Kurt has brought this extremely special trophy all around the country to share with his sponsors, friends, mentors and past employers who have supported him throughout his entire racing career as a “thank you.” He opined that those who believed in him won it, too.
One of those mentors along the way was my husband, Gary.
Remember as your career progresses to reflect back upon those who gave you an opportunity to work with them. After all, it was their guidance, leadership, and ability to strengthen your focus which helped get you where you are today.
It is this recognition that will keep them motivated to keep pushing others forward - past their “comfort zone” - into their own greatness.
We were honored he shared it with us. . . and even more honored to call him - and his beautiful wife Ashley - friends.
