The Military Veteran’s Post

How Kobe Bryant knew he was going to win a lot of championships: “It was easy to size other players up in the NBA. I found that a lot of guys played for financial stability.  Once they got that financial stability the passion, the work ethic, and the obsessiveness was gone.  Once I saw that I thought: “This is going to be like taking candy from a baby.  No wonder Michael Jordan wins all these f****g championships.” 🏆 Lessons from the Mamba Mentality: Passion Over Paycheck: Prioritize genuine passion for what you do. Sustaining Obsessiveness: Maintain a relentless work ethic beyond financial stability. Confidence in Challenges: Embrace challenges with the confidence that comes from unwavering passion. Beyond Profits: Success is not just about financial gains; it's about the journey, the process, and the enduring love for what you do. #SuccessMindset #growthmindset #personaldevelopment David Senra - https://lnkd.in/eCV9issV

There's always this link - sometimes stronger than others - between sport and business... - Which is all about goal attainment - and literally in football, it's about goals. Because we're always focused on an end result. Which is why the military? why the military often get linked in as well. What do the military do to achieve their end game? What do sports people do to achieve their end game? What do business people do to achieve their end game? The mindset, the way of thinking, even though the practicalities are different... there are so many parallels. - And I'm a huge believer, particularly as a designer, in learning from other disciplines. Because for me all innovation occurs when you have the collision of two disciplines... The intersect! If you imagine two circles that come together, where they overlap... That's where you get fusion. That's where you get innovation! - Looking back at my conversation with the coolcat of business podcasts Clayton M. Coke of The Cashflow Show. #GoalsAttainement #Sport #Innovation #BusinessJetEngine

I first sat down for an interview with Richard Barajas, owner of Kearney Combat Sports, in January of 2022.   Since then, I have gotten to know him more and have been paying attention to his business.  I've seen how he has used social media to get the word out about his business and the different channels he is using to grow the KCS brand. We had a great conversation about the challenges of managing a growing business, what he is trying to get better at when it comes to being a leader, and what he still needs to work on as he works towards his ultimate vision for himself and Kearney Combat Sports. https://lnkd.in/gtDWankB

What are customers missing? What are the industry voids, and how can we detect them? Scouts play a vital role in the military, and the world of sports. Adopting a scout mindset in business can help us detect marketplace voids, fill them, and monetize them. The business community will introduce these opportunities, as long as we listen, observe, and think. That is what good scouts do…they pay attention to their surroundings, and they are always on the lookout for capitalizing on a dropped ball. I started my sales agency 17 years ago, simply because I was paying attention to what the customers were complaining about, and then I formed a simple game plan that addressed eliminating those complaints. Delivering two, simple solutions is still making me good money, and it is still picking up dropped balls from other vendors. It worked for me, and it can work for you.   #delivery #customersatisfaction #scouting #scout #observenow #think #thinking #listeningskills #listening #leadership #3bti5m
