8/21/2025-On this day, Usain Bolt

On this day in 1986, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt was born.

Usain won Gold medals in the 100 and 200-meter races in an unprecedented three straight Olympic Games (’08, ’12, and ’16). As such, Bolt is considered the greatest sprinter of all time.

So why is this important to you, fast-moving seller?

Running fast helps in the sales game…time is your ultimate enemy.

But you know it takes more than running fast to win in sales, and so did Usain in his pursuit of Gold. Sprinting isn’t unlike sales…they both require intense training and technique.

Tap into your training mindset today and work on your skill muscles.

Which of your skills need immediate training attention by you?

This might be obvious…but it’s important to remember you won’t get faster sitting in the stands watching everyone else run around the track.

If it helps, envision your competition doing a training exercise this very minute.

How ya gonna answer?

Skills atrophy unless you work them. (But then, you’re reading MySalesDay, so you’re committed!)

Wanna watch Usain Bolt throw up?

Of course, you don’t.

But, you do want to watch an authentic 3-minute slice of his workout routine.

Usain poignantly offers, "The work is behind the scenes… competition is the easy part."

Train and prepare like Usain…push yourself. If that’s not enough, hire someone to push you.
