Psychology - Are you mentally prepared?

In the UK we have had a number of sporting set backs. First England lost a vital game to Russia in football, then South Africa won in the Rugby World Cup final, and finally Lewis Hamilton lost the Formula 1 title on the second corner of the first lap. Oh dear!

I've read a number of articles where psychology was mentioned in connection with these defeats, especially for the English football team. Tiger Woods' game is 90% mental and 10% physical (according the the advertisements). The connection between mind and body is very powerful. Sports psychology is not just for "sick" athletes, but gives the best, well trained ones the competitive edge. The difference between winning and loosing is all in the mind.

These comments seem like something I heard before. In Network Marketing a common mantra is "think it and you'll become it". That's OK if you have a good imagination and can really put yourself into the shoes you want to be in. Most people get distracted by everyday life and are not focused enough to do this. I think this is why personal development is so big in the industry. We need constant reminders about how to focus, how to think and provide a toolkit which will help bring us closer to our goals.

This is why we have top motivators on our regular calls. People like Jerry Clark, Tom "Big Al" Schreiter and Brian Klemmer to mention just a few. These people have the tools to help train your mind to become a powerful instrument in your success. It's like they have a mental gym to work our brains so they are in peak shape.

Are you mentally prepared for success? The answer lies in the outcome, as verbally we all say "yes".

Remember the difference between success and failure is all in the mind.
