What’s in it for me? Learn how to become a winner by acting like a winner.

Many people are smart, driven and talented. The chances are that you too are one of them! And yet only a lucky few “make it,” becoming powerful leaders, sports champions or rock stars.

Who doesn’t want to be a winner? The question is, what’s the secret recipe? What do winners know that no one else does?

These blinks take a close look at the success stories of winners, and in the process, give you the inside scoop on what it takes to make it to the top.

In these blinks, you’ll learn

how an entrepreneur launched an airline on a whim and won;
why losing big once can turn you into a winner for life; and
how you can benefit from living a life under pressure.

Winning depends first and foremost on a solid strategy that will lead you to your ultimate objective.

If you’re reading this, you’ve decided you want to be a winner. Whether you’re shooting for the corner office or dreaming of rock ’n’ roll fame, there are a few essential things to know.

First is strategy. Strategy is the how of winning. A strategy paves the way toward your goal; thus it is the most important aspect of becoming a winner.

Former World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov says that if you don’t commit to a strategy, you’re doomed to react to your opponents, allowing them to control the game.

The what of winning is your objective. You need to determine what you want to win before you can lock down a successful strategy.

For instance, if you want to lose weight, your objective might be to lose 10 pounds. Once you’ve defined your objective, then you can create a strategy to help you reach it.

Yet a strategy is useless if your objective is essentially unattainable. Remember: winners set goals they can reach.

In November 2013, Tony Pulis started managing the British soccer team Crystal Palace, a club struggling to stay in the Premier League. Pulis didn’t shoot for the stars and try to make the team Premier League champions in his first year. Instead, he set a realistic objective of securing the team’s position in the league – and he succeeded.

However, don’t confuse your strategy with tactics, or the little steps in between that help you realize your strategy and ultimately, your objective.

If your strategy to lose 10 pounds is to start dieting and perform exercises daily, your tactics will include things such as monitoring your caloric intake, taking the stairs instead of the elevator and joining a diet group.

In the holy trinity of winning, strategy is just one aspect. The other two components are leadership and “teamship,” or the elements that make a winning team – let’s explore those next.

Leadership comes in many forms; there’s no one trait that unites all the great leaders of history.

So what does it take to become a great leader? There’s no one specific trait; each leader is outstanding in a different way.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel possesses the ability to see what works in a given situation and to stick with it. Instead of offering grand gestures, she acts pragmatically. Because of these skills, Merkel is a winner, leading one of the European Union’s most powerful nations.

Winning means creating a team in which people share talents where you fall short.

Do you think a soccer club composed of 11 athletic clones would be a winning team?

Definitely not. A team with members who all have the same skills just won’t win. If you want to be a winner – in sports or business – you need to find a team with talents that complement your own.

Winners hate losing and put pressure on themselves, leaving their comfort zone, to avoid it.

It’s often said that winning is all about mind-set. But what exactly does this mean? Are winners merely people who really want to win? Doesn’t everybody want to win?

Of course, most people want to win, but not everyone fears losing. Many people are winners simply because they’re too scared to lose.

Winners set themselves apart from the pack by innovating and acting boldly.

Want to stand out from the crowd? You could always dress up like Superman. But for those who aren’t into costumes, there are other ways to get noticed – a key aspect of being a winner.

To get noticed, you first have to be bold. When you act boldly, you’ll stand out because you’ll accept challenges that those people who are more reserved just wouldn’t.

A crisis can quickly overwhelm you if you don’t keep your mind on what matters.

Have you ever noticed that so many events today are called a “crisis”? From minor disagreements between heads of state to a blogger’s bad hair day, “crises” seem to be everywhere and define everything.

But none of these examples represent a real crisis – a situation that could overwhelm if you don’t make the right decisions.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
