Learning From Lance Armstrong
“I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire.”
This is a super quote from Lance Armstrong, the seven times winner of the Tour De France.
His wins in the Tour were made even more amazing as previously he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He had a mammouth struggle to overcome the disease as his chances of survival dropped as low as 40%.
He clearly is not a quitter and puts 110% into everything he does - cycling or surviving.
This is a great lesson to bring back to your business.
Quitting is never an option and you should use all your resources to move your business forward and move into a winning position.
And it works on many levels. Remember that tricky prospect who never went ahead with your proposal?
Call them - chase it up - never quit. In sales, you find that the one of the main reasons sales fall through is because they are not properly followed up.
Remember that client who is delaying payment on an invoice?
Call them - chase it up - never quit.
You get the idea…
