• How do you keep focus and drone out the battle of the minds?
The last dot point is the hardest of all. It takes a very strong and passionate mind to fight through the emotional ride of Success. No one said being an Entrepreneur was going to be an easy road. If it was everyone would be doing it. It is the passion you have for you and the belief you have for what you want to achieve which keeping you moving when all else seems lost.
I watch the world championships for cycling last night. One of the darlings of the track Anna Mears was riding for a place in the final. She had the fastest times of the meet, the competition between her and the British rider was what the crowd came to see. She beat the British rider twice but was disqualified for moving outside the red line and she rode off for the bronze medal and won it. The commentators started the doubt talk as Anna had one more event to ride. How did Anna Mears overcome the dissatisfaction of not winning per pet event?
Through constant empowerment, passion and a never say die attitude. The belief in her mind, the work she had prepared before the event, had been done. The information her coach and trainers have been giving her was in alignment with her belief.
