On this day in 1981, American boxer Muhammad Ali fought his last professional bout, losing to Trevor Berbick in a decision.
Why is this important to you, noble sales-fighter?
Ultimately, you and Ali are alike…you're fighters.
You fight through customer walls (and internal walls too).
You fight through usernames and passwords. (Hey, it's the simple things that wear us down.)
You fight through significant account challenges…and little ones, too.
And…you fight to keep going…so you can fight again!
Do
To succeed in anything, you must know what you're playing for.
Why are you getting up every morning and climbing back inside the ring? If you don't have a good answer, then you might wanna do something else.
Are you playing for your children's education? For a second home at the lake where you spent your childhood? …to clear student loans?
Once your purpose is defined, the fight becomes easier.
Today, work on your why. Start a separate tab in your WINS Journal and write down your WHY thoughts to see what they look like. Title your entry "Why I Fight."
Oomph
When asked about his training strategy and how it led to his success, Ali jokingly answers in this entertaining YT short, "…being in bed at 9pm each night…by myself."
But Ali's not joking…he's serious about what it means to be a champion. He knew his sacrifices and training were the keys to getting what he wanted, and he desperately wanted to be the Champ.
Whether you think boxing is barbaric or an actual sport, appreciate that Ali knew his most important fight was the one that got him into the ring.
