I share these thoughts from a recent e-mail I received from a mentor of mine, Mike Dillard from Magnetic Sponsoring. 

For most of us “winning” means we have achieved something we strive after. Whether it is a goal we set, or something in our subconscious.

There are at least 5 ways for you to “win”. 

  • You win when you are comfortable. The primary goal here is to just go through life as comfortable as possible. No stress, no challenges, or no conflict. You just want to be on cruise control on the pursuit of comfort. This person will never be in charge, but more the dedicated employee who is happy with a safe and stable job.
  • You win by being liked. Your goal here is to be liked by everyone, and you will do just about anything to reach that goal. Place this person in a leadership role and the business is likely to fail, because tough decisions cannot be made, since it may mean they will not be liked.
  • You win by being right. This is the expert in a specific field. Criticism is not accepted and their mind is closed to new and fresh ideas. Being wrong is not acceptable, to the point of sabotage if necessary.
  • You win by winning. This is the achiever! Their motivation is to win. Competitiveness and gaining the leading edge push this person. This person does not care if others do not like them. Discomfort provides them with new opportunities to succeed and win. Robert Kiyosaki is a perfect example of this kind of person.
  • You win by losing. This person is always the victom. ALways with the feeling of PMS (Poor Me Syndrome). Statements like “I knew it wouldn’t work” are common for this person. Therfore gaining a win when they stopped trying and it did not work.

After reading this I looked in the mirror to find a little of each of these characters in myself.  I know I  made a concious decision that day to be 95% winner and 5% the rest on those really bad days we all have.  

If you set your expectations so high that you can not achieve them, you will spend the rest of your life dissappointed and bummed out. Set realistic expectations!

The greatness of all this is once we have a win, the process starts all over again. So right now, it is time to set a small goal that is achievable and set out to win by achieving that goal no matter what it takes.

Now, go out there and be a winning winner for yourself and those around you. Only you can make your dreams come true!
