Think Like A Winner

"The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work or make it better." - Barbara Pletcher

 

What are the traits that make one person a winner? The big difference is in how a person thinks, and their mindset and attitude will govern their actions.

 

It's about having a winning attitude. It's about having a competitive spirit. It's about having a champion's mindset. It's about gaining confidence in yourself and your abilities and gaining trust in your teammates. It's bringing your best to everything you do. Never settle for anything less than your best.

 

Coach Vince Lombardi, who was best known as the head coach of the Green Bay Packers during the 1960s, said, "Winning is not a sometime thing. It is an all-the-time thing. You don't win once in a while…you don't do things right once in a while…you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit…unfortunately, so is losing. Running a football team is no different from running any other kind of organization: An army, a political party, a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win. To beat the best. To compete. To maintain the winning attitude above all else."

 

What makes a winner?

• A winner is always ready to take on something new.
• A winner always believes they have a chance to win regardless of the competition.
• A winner knows they are sometimes wrong, is willing to admit their mistakes, and doesn't look for someone else to blame.
• A winner is challenged by a new problem.
• A winner is confident and decisive.
• A winner realizes that there is no time like the present to get a job done. They don't wait and don't hesitate.
• A winner thinks positively, acts positively, and lives positively.
• A winner is always part of the solution.
• A winner always has a process or a program.
• A winner always sees his glass as half full.
• A winner is always willing to help out others.
• A winner sees an answer to every problem.
• A winner always thinks it's possible, even if it may be difficult.
• A winner does things others think are impossible.
• A winner never quits.

 

Take this attitude with you wherever you go. Whether you win as a team or win as an individual, never lose sight of who you are and the value you bring. Be a winner!

 

Make today great!
