When I was young I like many dreamed of being a professional athlete;
I did achieve modest success gaining my black belt in full contact martial arts and being a state champion goal keeper in Soccer.
However I never really made it to the money making heights that I would have liked.

I realised I needed a plan B.
After studying hard and surrounding myself with great Mentors and Coaches I went on to achieve huge success in Business and that’s where the money was…

Many people choose small business and the entrepreneurial life believing it will give them a wonderful life, yet they never receive the help they deserve to gain great success.
Having lived and breathed an athlete’s mindset, I know what it takes to be successful and I now share a lot of that wisdom through my Coaching programs.
Here are the top 3 things that athletes know before they even step foot into the business world.

1. Sticking to that vision!
Athletes are taught from the beginning to envision what they want.
They want to win of course; they want to be the best of course.
Past this vision is actually seeing themselves there.
There is no plan B taught in sports when you have a vision.
There is only success. An athlete will do whatever it takes in order to achieve that vision or success in the long run.

Q. Are you doing whatever it takes to win?

2. Focusing on the end result!
Individual’s business get side tracked easily: when a phone rings, an email dings, or there is a knock at the office door.
With an athlete, it is different. An athlete is taught from early on to block out distractions and focus on the big finale at the end of the game.
That does not include stopping and starting on projects it means keeping at it until it is completed.

Q. What is your end game?

3. Being passionate will always go farther!
People are right when they say there is nothing better than being at the top, of course.
However those that have been knocked down a thousand times and still got back up will remain at the top much longer than those that have not had these kinds of experiences.
That is what passion is all about. Being able to believe in yourself and love what you do so much that you can pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and continue on your path to success.

Q.When you get knocked down will you get up?

As a small business owner, you can always look at it this way: while you are working late hours to learn your craft, nine chances out of ten your competition thinks they already know it all and are fast asleep.
Take this time to learn more, so that you can become more!
