“Button
started to
play to win,
Vettel
started to
play not to
lose.
Button saw
winning
happening in
his mind,
Vettel saw
losing
happening in
his.
That is
usually
Button’s
problem.
Getting to
this state
of play
though
should be
easy as it
is our
natural
state of
play. When
you used to
be in the
zone, you
were just
playing and
quite
naturally
you wanted
to win.
However,
when you
weren’t in
the ‘zone’
you were
trying to
cultivate
it. This is
because you
let external
bullsh*t in
and your ego
got
involved.
Button’s ego
was not
involved, he
was just
playing and
he was
playing to
win.
… He was
having fun
and that’s
why we are
supposed to
play the
games – F1,
Rugby,
Football,
Business
success -
they are all
the same.
The way to
cultivate it
is to
silence the
bullsh*t and
just go and
play.
This is just
creating a
state of
mind where
only playing
exists,
winning
happens if
you play
well enough…
The clue
really is in
the answer,
trouble is
people get
all confused
by
themselves
and lose
track of the
simplicity
required.”
His
response:-
“I don't
want to blow
smoke up
your arse
here but the
way you have
just
explained
that is
genius!!
I have heard
it explained
in many
different
ways, but
never in
such a
simple and
straightforward
way to
understand
that
actually
makes
perfect
sense, and
had I still
been playing
I could see
myself
implementing
this on the
pitch.”
Working
At It VS
Playing At
It - The
Nature of
Success
However, the
answer is
the same for
all
successful
people, it
is trait
number one,
we
successful
people are
all just
playing at
it. Success
is a game to
us and we
are playing
to win.
|
People who
try to be a
success and
are trying
to cultivate
it are
working, not
playing, as
the result
is important
to them.
Cultivating
it is
necessary
for people
who have
lost touch
with their
natural
success
mindset, and
I include
successful
people here
too… As we
all see
amazing
professional
sportsmen
and business
people lose
their way
from time to
time.
However,
successful
people
mainly
succeed
because they
are not
trying to be
successful;
they are
playing a
game to win.
Winning is
important to
us but
because we
are just
playing a
game, if we
lose then we
can start
again with
no loss of
enthusiasm.
We don’t
like losing,
in fact we
hate and
detest it,
so much so
that in a
few days we
have picked
ourselves up
and are
ready to
give it 101%
again. |
 |
"Successful people have an advantage over others, they are just playing a game, and they are playing to win. Unsuccessful people play not to loose." |
|
|
However,
people who
are only in
the sport or
business to
win... don’t
like losing
so this
dents their
confidence.
They are
playing the
game not to
lose. They
do not
realise what
we
successful
people
realise,
that losing
is merely an
essential
ingredient
in winning
big.
7 Traits Of
A
Multi-Millionaire
 |
1.
Successful
people
are
playing
a
game,
they
are
playing
to
win
Unsuccessful
people
are
playing
not
to
lose.
Can
you
imagine
an
Olympic
athlete
making
it
to
the
games
if
they
had
been
playing
not
to
lose?
Winners
in
life
always
play
to
win. |
 |
2.
Successful
people
have
a
grand
vision.
They
know
what
they
want,
and
if
they
don’t
know
how
they
are
going
to
get
it,
they
soon
will
I
call
it a
‘design’
of
what
they
want
their
life
to
be
like.
An
unsuccessful
person
lives
without
a
clear
destination,
or
set
of
destinations.
If
you
ask
any
unsuccessful
person
what
they
want
in
the
future
then
at
best
they
give
you
a
wishy
washy
answer…
or
say
something
like,
“Aaaahh,
I
don’t
really
know,
I’m
not
sure,
I
suppose
I’d
just
like
xyz…”
When
you
ask
the
same
question
to a
person
who
is
striving
to
be
successful,
or a
multi-millionaire
then
their
eyes
light
up
and
they
go
into
electrifying
detail
about
all
the
stuff
they
want
and
how
they
are
going
to
get
it.
You
feel
inspired
to
be
in
their
presence
as
they
know
what
they
want.
We
all
like
to
naturally
(i.e.
it
is
in
our
nature)
follow
a
person
who
has
a
map.
No
one
likes
to
follow
someone
who
doesn’t
really
know
what
they
want. |
 |
3.
Successful
people
accept
and
are
not
afraid
of
losing
or
failing
as
they
know
that
it
will
help
inspire
them
to
greater
victories
Simply
put,
they
know
to
use
failure
as
part
of
their
future
success.
In
this
process
they
transmute
failure
into
success.
Unsuccessful
people
know
failure
is a
bad
thing,
so
it
is a
bad
thing.
Successful
people
merely
see
it
as
an
obstacle
to
first
get
round
and
then
use
to
help
push
them
forward,
so
it
is a
necessary
eventual
good
thing.
Successful
people
know
instinctively
that
everything,
even
failure,
will
help
them
to
eventual
victory.
Unsuccessful
people
know
that
if
they
have
too
many
failures
then
they
will
be
forced
to
give
up
trying.

4.
Successful
people
have
the
ability
to
find
solutions
People
always
ask
how
did
the
person
ever
invent
this,
or
how
did
they
think
of
that.
Usually
things
were
invented
or
solutions
were
born
out
of
the
necessity
for
a
successful
person’s
goal/desire/dream
to
be
achieved.
They
had
their
mindset
to a
point
where
they
could
not
see
their
future
without
the
success
they
envisioned.
And
in
order
to
get
that,
then
this
‘whatever’
got
invented
along
the
way.
Successful
people
are
‘in
tune’
with
their
subconscious
mind
so
they
have
access
to
limitless
intelligence.
They
do
this
by
accident;
however,
it
can
be
created
on
purpose
once
your
mind
is
free
of
bugs. |
 |
5.
Successful
people
have
a
naturally
strong
persuasive
ability
This
is
not
about
selling,
it
is
the
ability
to
be
enthusiastic
about
your
vision
and
what
you
want
to
create.
It
is
about
having
the
natural
ability
to
inspire
the
feelings
in
others.
Why
do
you
think
we
enjoy
watching
sports
people
win?
They
inspire
us
with
their
want
to
win
so
much
that
we
will
follow
them.
They
don’t
know
why
we
follow
them
but
it
is
for
this
reason.
We
love
to
see
them
win
because
we
are
drawn
by
their
desire
to
do
it.
We
get
to
feel
great
when
they
win. |
 |
6.
Successful
people
have
an
abundant
mindset
They
do
not
see
a
shortage
if
they
win,
they
see
an
abundance
and
they
see
them
creating
more.
If a
sports
person
wins
something
they
see
the
sport
growing
as a
result
of
their
enthusiasm.
Their
winning
and
the
other
team
coming
second
is
just
part
of
natural
selection,
so
this
is
of
no
concern.
They
see
everyone
as
winning
because
they
have
chosen
to
play
the
game. |
 |
7.
Successful
people
have
a
bug
free
mind
Everyone
has
bugs
in
their
mind,
after
they
have
left
childhood
it
is
impossible
not
to
have.
But
successful
people
are
just
people
who
have
no
bugs
where
it
comes
to
the
subject
of
where
and
how
they
will
become
a
success.
In
this
area
they
have
a
bug
free
mind.
It
is
their
natural
state
of
mind
and
the
only
reason
unsuccessful
people
will
not
become
a
success
is
that
they
do
have
bugs
in
that
area. |
It is
impossible
to create
success when
your mind is
full of
bugs. The
reason so
many young
people
become
successful
is that the
younger you
are, then
the less
bugs you
have in your
mind. Sports
stars are an
excellent
example.
Take a
soccer/football
star, they
can be
wonderful on
the pitch,
but they can
be a useless
husband, a
bad gambler
and a poor
friend very
easily
because they
have bugs in
those areas.
But when it
comes to
their
soccer/football,
well there…
they are bug
free.
These traits
and habits
were once in
every single
person on
Earth, the
only reason
people do
not have
them now is
that they
allowed
rubbish
thinking to
become their
chosen
'default'
thought
process. Our
natural
default is
success, it
is not
failure! It
is in our
nature to
succeed, it
goes against
our nature
to fail and
then give
up.
However,
with this
current
system of
thought, no
amount of
new good
thinking
will solve
the problem.
Effectively
when a
person tries
to add new
good success
software
into their
mind they
are loading
software
onto a
computer
with a
virus.
Which of
course means
it will
never
work... The
solution is
the
antivirus
for the mind
and that is
contained in
my book
"Creating A
Bug Free
Mind."
The first
five
chapters of
this book
are
available to
you right
now, and
what is
contained in
those
chapters
alone
will change
your
thinking on
it's own!...
Let alone
the other
thousand or
so tips and
techniques
which are
contained in
the
remainder of
the book.
