Follow Champions and Never Finish

In Martial Arts it is important that strategy be unfathomable, that form be concealed, and that movements be unexpected, so that preparedness against them be impossible. What enables a good general to win without fail is always having unfathomable wisdom and modus operandi that leaves no tracks. The Book of Huainan Masters - China Second Century B.C.

2009 Governor of California in his body-building days once said to me "the last 2 or 3 or 4 reps after your planned 10 reps makes the muscles grow. That's what divides one from being a champion and not being a champion. Have no fear, go into the gym, workout until you faint" - Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Will you follow the masses and never finish or will you do whatever it takes to reach success? Tennis Champion Roger Fedrer was asking himself that question and couldn't find the answer until 2004. He had found himself making the same choices while he was in his career. From 2001 onwards he made legwork - literally. His frustration and irritation with himself were signs of weakness. Business owners and entrepreneurs alike including myself find ourselves questioning many choices in our life of uncertainty. It scares me sometimes to not knowing and being certain of what will happen next.

The journey is the reward - Gandhi

What makes a champion? The ability to gain victory by changing and adapting according to the opponent is called genius - Sun-tzu.

Where will you be? When will your time to shine come? Will you get victory or will you be a loser; a nobody?

It was early 2001 and Roger Federer just smashed his racket on the ground out of frustration - this was the last time. Over the next 2 years he trained his mind and his body. He was physically and mentally prepared for success. He was coached by the best to be the best. His dedication, commitment and leadership paid off in 2004 when he dominated modern men's tennis. He was finally "on the board". His win-loss record for the year was 74-6 with 11 titles which included 3 out of 4 Grand Slams and 3 ATP Masters Series.

"Yes I was on the board" - Roger Federer. The only way you will get noticed is if you take action and step up. Do something today knowing that your actions will lead to a better life. Set a new standard; be the voice and be a leader. Who are you going to be?
