Monday Book Review-What It Takes To Be Number One

number-1

This book is a short but powerful book.  Vince Lombardi identified 9 skills/attributes you need to be number 1 in sport, business or life in general.  They are: 1. Commitment; 2. Discipline; 3. Excellence; 4. Mental Toughness; 5. Habit; 6. Faith; 7.Passion; 8. Results; and 9. Truth.

The 6 lessons I gained were as followed.

  1. Winning is not everything, but making an effort to win is everything.  This hit me like a ton of bricks because I can thing of the times that I have given up on something because it was too hard or I did not see success coming.
  2. You  must be smart to be number one in any business.  I totally agree that business is not for the weak in heart, you must smart to progress in business.
  3. Mental toughness will allow you to hold on when you are on E.  When you feel like you can’t give any more then your mental toughness kicks in.
  4. Success has a price.  Most people are not willing to pay that price.  Many see it too high to obtain that success.  What most people don’t expect is you must continue to pay the price to KEEP your success.
  5. The harder you work at something, the harder it is to surrender.  When you put your ALL in something, you keep trying!!!
  6. Results are the bottom line.  I know it can be difficult to realize when something is not going well, but I have learned in the last 11 year–NUMBERS NEVER LIE!!!

If you desire to be NUMBER ONE–READ THIS BOOK!
