Managing to have the patience necessary to accomplish long-term goals is not an easy task, to which the risk of becoming complacent adds more difficulty. However, we can use a secret weapon to assist us in this titanic labor: focus. 


In this episode, continuing our last week's discussion about patience, we will talk about focus. I'll share the story of Ben Hunt-Davis and the British national rowing team that won a gold medal in the Sydney 2000 Olympics. We will analyze that team's unique mentality, and we will dive deep into how we can implement that mentality in our lives and leadership style.

  • You get what you focus on (1:11)
  • What changed in the British national rowing team for the Sydney 2000 Olympics (2:16)
