#211 9 Challenges You Should Try & Conquer

Do you love a challenge?

 

There is something really interesting that happens when you get challenged...

 

People tend to respond in two very different ways. Either they hate it and want nothing to do with the challenge or they embrace it as a fun game.

 

Knowing which one of those two you are, will make a big difference when you listen to this podcast.

 

If you don't like challenges, then this podcast will not be for you. You should still listen, just don't take the challenge.

 

But, if you're up to the task, then I know you will absolutely love this episode.

 

There is a psychology that works very well when it comes to a challenge. When you view the challenge as a fun game, it turns into a competition against yourself instead of an overwhelming and extra stress in your life.

 

Interestingly enough, this is the exact attitude that the most successful people have in their respective areas of mastery.

 

Paul Tudor Jones, an investor who has beat the market by at least 30% in his last 30 years of investing, says that making the right investments is "like a game to him, he wants to win." The money stopped mattering a long time ago, he loves the challenge. 

 

Michael Jordon, on basketball said "Don't stop if you hit a wall, figure out how to get around it." Michael loved the challenge of basketball, the winning was the icing on the top of the cake.

 

I'm hoping that by challenging you, we will help you learn to adopt a winning attitude and build some momentum in the process.
