Canmore AB – “What do you do
when you fall off your horse?”
“What? I don’t know.” “You get back on!!”

The winner of the most Grand Slam men’s titles, Rafael Nadal, was down 2 sets to 1. His incredible record of never having lost at this stage, in tennis’ grandest of all tournaments, Wimbledon, looked in doubt.
His opponent, was a young American, Taylor Fritz, the same player who had defeated Nadal in the final of a big tournament in Indian Wells, CA. If anyone could beat the champion, surely it would be
Fritz.
The 4th set started brightly for the American – but then the set became problematic, as both players repeatedly broke their opponent, only to be broken back.
Nadal hung on, and they were 2 sets apiece.
Onto a fifth and final set. Nothing separated the two players, and, in the end, they had to decide the winner via a match tiebreak. And here, the champion showed his chops, running out to a 5 and 0 score, before
prevailing, 10-4.
Just the day before, Novak Djokovic, the defending champion and World No.1 came back from 2 sets to 0 score line, against a young, up and coming Italian of only 20, who is already in the top 10.
His secret?
“…. I went out [off-court] and had a little pep talk in the mirror…”
Champions like Nadal and Djokovic react to unsatisfactory situations in ways you and I would do well to emulate. Here are a few:
- They have huge belief in their abilities and experience.
Thus..
- They are able to “reset” when things are not going their way. They put the past mistakes behind them and concentrate 100% on what they need to do now to achieve the result they desire.
- They practice and train diligently, consistently, with purpose.
- To ensure they practice the right things, in the right sequence, they hire experts and coaches to give them dispassionate feedback.
This last point is incredibly important.
There is a myth in business, especially in North America, that all successful entrepreneurs and business “magnates” attained their accomplishments on their own. That they are
“self-made” men and women.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
This particular “law of success” was revealed to Napoleon Hill by none other than Andrew Carnegie, one of America’s first billionaires.
This is the Law of the Mastermind, which simply means how to make use of and leverage, the knowledge and experience of other people so that you may shorten the amount of time you need to master and utilize this knowledge yourself.
In simpler terms, if you don’t yet have a coach, mentor and/or group of support-minded friends and colleagues, with who you can seek guidance and feedback on how to improve your business, then start finding one today or
consider joining our

Until next week,
Stay healthy and focus on profit!
