The Winners Mindset

Andy Murray, Britain’s No 1 Tennis Player, may not have won Wimbledon this time. But he is extraordinarily committed, focussed and determined to be the best. In these more competive and tougher times in business – are you doing all you can to please those customers, go the extra mile, be mindful of your competition but not distracted my them?

I read an article in the London Paper recently quoting Andy’s mindset regarding competition at Wimbledon ‘ Regardless of whether there’s 10 Brits, I’m still going to take care of my own business and not worry about what’s going on with the other players. If you start doing that, you kind of get distracted and you’re not putting 100% focus on yourself, which is what I need to do for the next couple of weeks!’.

It is important to have an awareness of what your ‘competition’ are doing but not necessarily be consumed or worried by it – they aren’t you at the end of the day! On the other side of the coin I have recently teamed up with various Joint Venture Partners who would normaly be ‘competition’ so this is also a great way of doing business in the current climate – collaboration breeds results too! Just like in Tennis where the individuals then go off to play their ‘doubles’!

Who could you be ‘teaming up with’ in order to add value to another business as well as yourself? Who else do you know who could form a mutual alliance/mailing list in order to serve your clients better? We’ll leave you with both those questions and to your health, wealth and success!
