Winning the Success Race

Do you know what ***really*** differentiates the winners from the losers in this metaphorical race we call “business success”? Intelligence? Money? Luck? Influence? Is it ...?

These assets can certainly enhance your success. Yet there is still one secret ingredient ... beyond all else ... that can and will determine whether you win or lose in the business world.

Can you guess what it is? You give up?!

The single most powerful ingredient to performance mastery ... the one that above all else separates the Olympic Gold from those who never get to the finish line ... is what I call “The Last Mile Advantage.”

===> What is the “Last Mile Advantage?"

It is giving your goal **everything** you got ... and sometimes more ... in that last mile of your race to get to your finish line.

You see it all the time in the Olympics. Hitting the “wall,” incurring an injury, falling off track ... yet somehow, somewhere that athlete taps into their inner power to not only finish the race, but to also win it.

As business owners, we are constantly being challenged to find the strength within to get to the finish line at each stage of our business. “The journey of a 1000 miles does begin with the first step,” but the true leaps, the true growth, the true breakthroughs happen in the last mile of the race.

Sounds simple yet so few business owners ever really get to the finish line As a business coach, I have watched literally hundreds of businesses - on the verge of a breakthrough - die, falter or never even get off the ground. They gave up in the last 5% in pursuing their business goals and visions. Getting to the 5 yard line is not good enough in the business world. You must get into the end zone for the touch down.

---------------------------------------1COACH'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:

----------------------------------------1 If you want success, you must get brutally honest with yourself. In the last year, what high priority projects, goals or visions you have procrastinated on, put on the back burner or walked away from? If you were to go the “extra mile” ... the last 5% ... to complete one of those goals, how would your business be different?

What step can you take today to get to the finish line?
