2 Winning qualities
The main reason winners win is that they want to win. They define what success means to them and they go after it. They have the desire to win. They study, they develop knowledge, they practise and they learn the skills required to achieve excellence. They're willing to do whatever it takes to develop the qualities necessary to win.
Winners look inward, critically examine their abilities and work to eliminate unproductive habits and qualities and replace them with productive habits.
In this chapter, we'll look at winning qualities in each of the four stages of the success journey:
Attitude
Never underestimate the power of attitude. The right attitude opens you to life's possibilities; the wrong attitude leads to excuse-making.
Self-discipline
In Million Dollar Habits, Brian Tracy notes a direct relationship between self-discipline and self-esteem. The more you discipline yourself to behave in a certain manner, the more you will like and respect yourself.
This starts with setting goals.
