Welcome friends and all who come here asking the question, "What is Nye? Where do I find it? Why are you the king of it?" You see, Nye is my reality , home of my hopes, dreams and aspirations. If you cannot face true reality and seek the realms of the edge of the possible, I urge you to read no further. For those who came to face the challenge and seek the audience of the king, enjoy my hospitality and read the pages of my daily existence as a man seeking goals and living life only as he can live it...

Just sitting here thinking about all the events this week. The Super Bowl of Surfing, The Super Bowl and Ground Hog Day. Yes, I said Ground Hog Day.

What do the three have in common? They are team sports if you want to think about it a little. Yes there is a bit of king-ly wisdom in what I said and I will get to the point shortly. I have said many times before how important traffic building teams are in the past. And it's true: you will never get to where you want to go if you don't have a team to take you there.

Let's look at some important traits of successful teams:
1) They work together. That means they talk, they plan and they execute. Staying in touch with your team members is a critical component of your success.

2) Teams have a coach or coaches that lay out a game plan for the team and that motivate the team to produce. Being a good coach means doing some teaching, some active caring and giving the team what it needs when it needs it.

3) Successful teams are proactive -- they don't wait for things to happen, they create and they make things happen. This makes the difference between being mediocre and being the best in the game.

4) They practice the fundamentals and they stick to them. No reinventing of the wheel. The best teams are always good at the basics and execute them to the fullest.

And what does a ground hog have to do with being a success? If you are afraid of your own shadow and never come out of your hole, none of the above things matter. Come out of your shell and be the one that leads your team to victory.

E, king of nye
