When I think about parallels between myself and an Olympian, I believe that success in the world of business is underpinned by very similar principles of perseverance and hard work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Being an Olympian, I always have this strong belief in excellence.
That my business success is equal to my personal life.
Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.
To me, the idea of success is to be able to work with people you admire.
Success in any endeavor depends on the degree to which it is an expression of your true self.
The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
It's this idea that success changes you as a person... I've never seen my career that way.
I think to actually be an Olympian to me means that you've trained most of your life, or you've dedicated most of your life or a big chunk of your life into doing something that you believe that you can accomplish.
The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have done and what we might have been on the one hand, and the thing we have made and the things we have made of ourselves on the other.
I firmly believe that success lies in the combination of both talent and business savvy, and that the magic comes through partnership between both.
