Kirby Smart said, "The disease that creeps into your program is called entitlement...We have a saying around our place, we eat off the floor. If you're willing to eat off the floor, you can be special."

Entitlement is the enemy of hard work.

It's the delusion that you deserve something that you haven't earned.
• Entitlement is the enemy of progress.
• Entitlement means you're lacking in gratitude.
• Entitlement means you're not living with a growth-mindset.

6 Ways to Get Entitlement Out of Your Culture
1. Lead by Example - Leaders should demonstrate humility and a non-entitled attitude. Leading by example is not about your position or title, it's about your behavior. When leaders show they don't consider themselves above others, it sets a tone for the team, discouraging entitlement.

2. Create a Culture of Growth - When you have a mindset of excellence and improvement then the growth will never stop. Encourage a place where learning from failures, continuous self-improvement, and personal development are valued. This promotes humility and helps people understand that effort and learning are key to success, not just inherent talent or privilege.

3. Foster a Culture of Gratitude - Create an environment where gratitude and humility are valued. Encourage people to appreciate what they have and the efforts of others. You can be entitled when you are grateful for every day and every opportunity. This mindset will reduce the feelings of entitlement and promote a more cooperative and appreciative culture.

4. Set Clear Expectations and Accountability - When people know what to expect, they know how to act. Clearly define roles, responsibilities, and goals. When team members know what is expected, they understand that success is a result of meeting these objectives, not just a default outcome.

5. Encourage Service and Empathy - Promote activities that involve serving others or contributing to the team. When people know each other and care for each other, they connect and lack feelings of entitlements. It helps drive collaboration, empathy, and service to the team. People understand the value of contributing, as opposed to expecting things without effort.

6. Regularly Assess and Adjust - Continuously evaluate the team's culture and make adjustments as needed. Regular assessment helps identify entitlement issues early and allows for timely interventions to maintain a healthy, collaborative team environment.

"We don't run from hard work; our kids don't run from work. As long as you don't have entitlement in your program, you got a shot." - Kirby Smart

The best advice on how to be successful I’ve heard:

On Nick Saban’s radio show, a young athlete asked him a bold question.

What advice would the Alabama football coach give him – a basketball player – to improve in his sport?

Saban’s response is gold:

“I think for any athlete, it's the same thing. What's your goal? What's your aspiration? What do you want to accomplish? That's the first thing.

“Second thing is to define what it takes to do it. What does it entail for you to be the kind of basketball player that you want to be?

“Then you got to make the decision. Are you willing to do that? Are you willing to go work every day and do the things you need to do and take 500 shots a day like Kobe Bryant did so that you can be the kind of player that you want to be?

“And then do you have enough discipline to make yourself do it every day? Whether you feel like it or not.

“You got to choose to get up. You got to choose to study. You got to choose to go make the shots. You got to choose to work out. People that can do that, they can reach their full potential.

“If you choose to make that kind of commitment to it, you can do the same thing, but it's not going to just come to you. It's not going to come easy.

“And you're going to have to overcome a lot of adversity to be able to persevere and sustain it to get where you want to go.”

–

It’s a beautiful response for sports, business and life.

Replace the young basketball player with yourself – investor, business owner, manager, teacher, whatever – and the same framework applies.

Some key takeaways:

1. Everything begins with a vision. What do you want to achieve?

2. Vision alone isn’t enough. You need a detailed plan of how to achieve it.

3. Commitment separates those who dream from those who do. Most people aren’t willing to do what it takes.

4. Daily execution is the hardest (and most valuable) part.

5. Feelings are irrelevant. You can do what needs to be done despite how you feel.

6. One day of effort is overrated. Daily effort is underrated.

7. Improvement is a lifelong process. Embrace it, cherish it, commit to it.

A dying father called his son to his bedside and presented him with an old pocket watch. The father said:

“Your grandfather gave this watch to me. It’s more than 200 years old. But, before I give it to you, I want you to go to the watch shop and tell the owner you want to sell it. Ask him what price he would pay for it.”

The son went to the watch shop and then returned to his father’s bedside. He reported, “The watchmaker said he would pay $15 for the watch because it is old and scratched.”

The father then said to the son, “Go to the pawn shop and ask the owner if he’d be interested in buying the pocket watch and what he’s willing to pay.”

The son ran to the pawn shop and quickly returned. He told his father, “The pawn shop owner said he didn’t have much use for an old pocket watch but offered $20 for it.”

Finally, the father told the son, “Go to the museum and show them the watch.”

The son left for the museum and returned with a look of astonishment on his face. He whispered, “Father, the curator at the museum offered me $1 million for this pocket watch!”

The father laid his head back, closed his eyes and said:

“I wanted you to experience for yourself that the right place, and the right people, will value your value in the right way. Never put yourself in the wrong place, with the wrong people, and then get angry when you don’t feel valued. Don’t stay in a place, or with people, that don’t value your value. Know your worth and be confident in your own value.”

This timeless story is a great reminder that you should NEVER settle for being valued less than your worth.

Ahead of their game with Sweden tonight, cannot stop thinking about South African Keeper Andile "Sticks" Dlamini explaining concept of Ubuntu. 🇿🇦

“Giving praise to the next person when they do good, shaking your opponents’ hands after a match, whether you’ve lost or won. And when you’ve done something wrong, apologize, you know, even to the referee because they also make mistakes. They’re human. Allow people to be human because we're not perfect. And also see where you can help out. That’s the spirit of Ubuntu.”

World needs more Ubuntu ❤️

@Imposter_Edits This is ridiculous! Compassion has been ridiculed as being “woke”. People especially public safety professionals NEED this skill. There are some really mean people in this world and they work in all professions.
