Want to be more successful? Play to win!

Are you playing to win? I mean, are you truly playing “full out” – with a no-matter-what, take no prisoners mindset? The way I see it, no matter what your goal, you’ve got 3 choices: Play to win. Play to lose. Play to “not” lose. Wait, aren’t “winning” and “not losing” the same thing? No [...]

If you are ever to be truly fulfilled in your work, it must include a fierce examination of your “why” – the reason why you do what you do.
