⏱️ millionaireME Minute | The Index Card That Won a National Championship 🏆

There’s a famous story about legendary coach Jim Valvano that has almost nothing to do with basketball—and everything to do with success.

At 17 years old, Valvano wrote his life goals on a simple index card:

• Play high school basketball

• Play college basketball

• Become an assistant coach

• Become a head coach

• Win a game at Madison Square Garden

• Cut down the nets after a national championship

People doubted him constantly.

But he carried that card with him for the rest of his life.

And in 1983, his team—the NC State Wolfpack men’s basketball—shocked the basketball world by defeating Houston Cougars men’s basketball to win the 1983 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship.

Every goal on that card became reality.

But here’s the detail that always fascinates me.

Before the championship game, Valvano had his players practice cutting down the nets.

They hadn’t won yet.

But he wanted them to be mentally prepared for the moment.

Because success often goes to those who are ready to receive it.

Not vaguely.

Not “someday.”

Specifically.

Carry them with you.

Review them often.

👉 Second, practice the life you’re building.
