Michael Phelps’ success has business lessons that we all can benefit from.
First of all, although he is an amazingly gifted athlete that appears to have been born in a swimming pool, he readily admits that he could not have made his goal of getting 8 gold medals by himself. He surrounded himself with other great athletes. In effect, his team, consisting of his coach and fellow athletes all comprise his mastermind group.
This is the first step to Michael Phelps’s Secret Success Formula and if you desire to have gold medal performance in your agency then you must get involved in a qualified mastermind group setting where you can have healthy competition with your peers as well as get ideas on how to improve as a person as well as improve your business results. As a side note, Michael Phelps got better because he was around swimmers as good as he was which pushed him to achieve even more, so keep in mind that a mastermind is not a place to gather and complain about circumstances, but it is a source to go to to help you overcome the circumstances.
The second step is Michael made untold sacrifices. Too many to name here, but one big one was he moved away from his family in order to get the type of training he needed, but equally important in order to be removed from distractions. In other words, Michael was willing to get out of his comfort zone, away from his norm and into something that he was not used to. And in the insurance world today, if you choose to do what you’ve always done because it is comfortable then you will never be able to stand on the Olympic podium. To be a successful agent in today’s environment you must be willing to sacrifice the discomfort that is associated with change because the only constant in our world is change.
The 3rd step in Michael Phelps’ success formula is simple focus. Michael kept saying that all he did was eat, sleep, swim.
