Many people have their "keys" to winning or success. But, how many of them can claim to be the best in the world at what they do! Not just the best in modern day but the best of all time!!! I do not think that anyone would argue that Lance Armstrong has certainly had a tremendous amount of success at his job, specifically in the last 6 years. I recently read an article in Mens Journal that focused on Lance and his thoughts on how to win at everything.
Lance Armstrong's 5 keys to winning:
- Be Obsessed
- Be Patient
- Be Disciplined
- Don't Be Selfish
- Outwit Your Opponents
Whether you are a cyclist, an entrepreneur, a top level or middle level manager or anyone just trying to get ahead in the world, I think these are so good rules to live by.
What are your rules?
Couldn't agree more. I have drank/drunk so many gallons of the Lance "Kool-Aid", I could write a book!
Honestly, any ONE of the cyclists that compete in the Tour de France is a model for business leaders.
I think its why I love the sport of triathlon so much. The discipline it takes to train, the mental toughness it requires/develops and the competitive release you get plays into my work day perfectly.
Excellent post!
