It Takes More Than Talent to Become a Winner


Motivational Power Quote

It Takes More Than Talent to Become a Winner
“A winner is someone who recognizes his God given talent,
works his tail off to develop them into skills and uses
these skills to accomplish his goals.”
Larry Bird, Basketball Player, Coach and
General Manager 

As I see it . . . . . . .

It takes more than talent to become a winner

Everyone is born with talent . . . . it’s not the amount of talent that your born with . . . . It’s what you do with your natural talent that either gets you into the winner’s circle of life . . . . or has you standing on the outside looking in.

Successful people in every walk of life takes their God given talent and works hard to develop their talent to get the most out of it.

When you combine your natural talent and continuously work on it and develop it . . . . It will grow and you will bring out the best in yourself.

Winning make a commitment of time, hard work and determination to become the best at what they do. Winners push hard and continually focus on the big picture . . . . and to make the extra effort to get into the winners circle.

It takes more than talent to become a winner . . . . it takes hard work and remaining focusing on achieving your goals.

Leadership is Earned Through Your Actions


Motivational Power Quote

Leadership is Earned Through Your Actions
“Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a
teammate you’re ready to play tough as you’re able to, you
better go out there and do it. Players will see right through
a phony. And they can tell when you’re not giving it
all you’ve got.”
Larry Bird, Professional Basketball Player and Coach

 
As I see it . . . . . . .

Leadership is earned through your actions

As a consultant you can see this leadership scenario repeating itself . . . . over and over again.

It happens with a new manager, a new owner of a business, new team leader, in a promotion and as well as in many other areas of leadership and in life.

The person steps into a new position that has a title or leadership responsibility . . . . having the title doesn’t make the person the leader. Leadership is earned through . . . . your personal actions.

The person with the title has the authority . . . . but earns the right to be called a leader. 

The number reason a leader fails in their position is not in knowledge or expertise . . . . It’s in their lack of ability to earn the title of leader in the eyes of the people that work with the leader and as a result there is a less respect for the person in the position.

Leadership is earned through your actions . . . . and can lose it very quickly the same way.
