(Franklin, TN, April 27, 2020) The wisest men before us have uncovered the secret to success long before the best-selling self-help books filled the bookstore shelves. Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
One of the timeless habits Bicknell sticks to is starting the day early while everybody’s still asleep. This gives him his own space and time to clear his mind before he tackles the biggest task for the day, the one or two that will move a goal forward. In his book, Never Fry Bacon in the Nude, he shares how he also sets an example of practicing good habits for his subordinates to follow, so he can help them in their journey to success.
