ss in achieving world excellence tion , and determination
nothing short of wonderful . This success is the collective efforts of to Director of SA Rugby Rassie Erasmus , Coach Jacques Nienaber , captain Siya Kolisi and the entire Springbok team . They have shown us that greatness is within our reach when we dedicate our minds , bodies , and souls to a common goal .
We learn things such as resilience , leadership , respect , and patience . Lessons that sports teach us can help us develop as people , businessman and investors .
Here are ten things we can apply in our businesses and lives from the Springbok ’ s success :
1 . Hard work is the foundation to success and there are no shortcuts .
2 . Teamwork is the catalyst for dreams coming true - think and act like a team .
3 . All your actions have consequences . Always be accountable and select the best people available to deal with the biggest challenges .
4 . Losses and failures are part of the journey and it should not be mistaken as an end .
5 . Embrace innovation , change and diversity .
6 . Have the best coaches , leaders , and managers in key positions to become the best .
7 . Confidence is a path towards victory and overconfidence can lead to your downfall . Be confident yet humble to make it big !
8 . Continuously improve through the best technology and training available
9 . Nothing ventured nothing gained . Risk is correlated with reward . Revisit and always be flexible with your plans .
10 . Never ever give up . Despite the challenges just keep going forward even when things are at their absolute lowest .
It is essential to remember that personal lives affect professional lives . Companies that prioritise the mental health of their staff tend to perform better , directly impacting their profits .'
While we may not see an immediate transformation , it ’ s incumbent upon us to tackle these difficulties head-on rather than wait for circumstances to improve . This is the time to be resourceful , curious , and productive , working to effect positive change .
In the spirit of resilient and strategic investing !
Successful investing !
