Book summary
Benedict Hunt-Davis MBE, a retired British rower and Olympic victor, received the honor of being named a Member of the Order of the British Empire during the New Year Honours List of 2001.
Success, whether in sports or business, requires strategic planning, hard work, problem anticipation, and strong teamwork. Evaluate the risks involved in pursuing your goals and consider the potential costs of not taking action, especially when the potential payoff is significant.
“You get what you focus on. You don’t have to work harder; it’s not through doing more hours, it is by being more focused within those hours.”
“If we let go of worrying about risk we can more usefully focus our attention on figuring out which risks are crazy and which are useful.”
“A crazy goal needs to have emotional attachment.”
