Federer on Pushing It
“One business for sure you can do is push the luck on your side.”
–Roger Federer (1981 – )
Swiss tennis champion
Sales luck…
"Diligence is the mother of excellent luck."
– Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
American statesman, scientist, and printer
luck: noun: a force that makes things happen
You want more luck? Be the force that makes it happen…
- Prepare. Work hard to be ready for the opportunities that are vital to you. Research. Practice. Perfect.
- Be awake. Pay attention to the people, events, and things around you. Evaluate logically and entrust your gut instinct.
- Take action. Place yourself out there. Explore. Be vulnerable. Make contact with people. Take risks.
- Expect clear results. Optimism improves your chances. If (when) you fail, embrace the lesson and continue on, smarter.
That’s it. Now go be fortunate (and sell something).

I can’t stand how excellent this 1 minute is from Nike. I’ve seen it over 50 era and it still gets me. A fantastic weekly boost and reminder of what it takes to get fortunate.
(US Open Tennis finals are this weekend.)
