A book written by the trainer of Michael Jordan + Kobe Bryant.
- Interview question, in 1 word, what does winning to you?
- Winning wages war on the battlefield of your mind
Winning has a million ways to stop you (distraction/laziness/ego), if you don’t have the resilience to fight back
- Winning is the ultimate gamble on yourself
Confident people can’t be broken, because they’ve already been broken over and over, learning for themselves how strong + powerful they are.
- Winning isn’t heartless, but you’ll use your heart less.
Mind > feelings
Self control means facing the things you don’t want to face, looking for answers in yourself and not others, knowing you’re not always going to be happy/secure.
Thoughts → Emotions → Actions → Outcome
- Winning belongs to them, and it’s your job to take it
- Winning wants all of you, there is no balance.
It’s up to you to determine how much you’re willing to give up to catch what you’re chasing.
You can’t achieve balance in all areas of your life.
Your greatest partnerships will be with people who share your actions for the end result.
- Winning is selfish.
- Winning takes you to hell - if you quit, that’s where you’ll stay.
- Think how much energy + time go into trying to be someone or something you’re not.
- Winning knows your secrets - embrace your dark side + harness it
- Winning knows your lies - stop the 4AM wake ups for social media, too many options = too many excuses = decision fatigue
- Stop managing time, and start managing your focus - winning requires you to make time.
