Why You're The Only Competition Worth Beating

22 minutes

‘The race is all about you and winning for yourself’

In this episode, Desmond discusses how beginning training for a marathon has helped him to reflect on the importance of being in the right race.

He encourages us all to connect the dots between the different areas in our lives to achieve balance and success. Listen in for some great tips on how to get in the right race and achieve the results you want.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We build a mentality where we are always competing with others to win, this can also be seen in the world of business.

When you want to achieve something, you have to do it for you first.

Beating others is not the race that is important or relevant. The race you need to pay attention to is the one with yourself.

When you align your intentions with the person you are trying to be, you begin the only significant race - the one with your heart and mind.

Often we look outwardly at others and what they are doing, and we measure ourselves against them but it’s what you are doing that really counts.

When you do something the question is ‘why’, what is the reason?

It’s about having all things in your life in balance - financial, mental and physical wellbeing all count towards your overall positive state.

If you are trying to move up the ladder, have a great career and be the best you can be all of those other areas of your life will impact on the end result.

The opportunity that we all have is within you and you have the chance to go out and win for yourself.

When you start talking to others about what you want to do they will react in a positive and supportive way.

Share the challenges you have, and you’ll find the right connections and have the right interactions to help you move forward and achieve balance.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Are all the things you are doing now supporting the result you want to achieve?’

‘Whatever you do supports what you are doing in either a negative or positive way’

‘Don’t get ready, be ready’

‘No one holds you back except you’

‘I get help from all sorts of people because I open my mouth, so could you’

ABOUT THE HOST

I don’t know how this works, but you’re here now listening (hopefully) about my exciting life, so I’m going to try and make this worth your while. I never got inspired at school, I was too busy trying to impress my peers, chasing girls, and being a fool to get inspired. I rejected school. But let me tell you something for free! That was a mistake! I spent the next 15 years in jobs I hated, with no direction, lacked purpose, and motivation for life. Yes, big words, but that was me in a box. A slave to the system! Fast forward to today, and well, I’m not sitting in my ivory tower or anything, but I love life and my career. Yeah, it’s both painful and exciting rolled and wrapped up into one giant subway, and who doesn’t love subway rite? The point is, you only get one life, don’t waste it pursuing things you care nothing for, invest in YOURSELF and grow as a person, be the best YOU by putting YOU first!
