What It Takes To Be A Champion


What is a champion really? Sure, all success oriented people strive for being the best they can be, but what qualities really make up a true champion. I've outlined them below.

CHAMPIONS---noun? One that wins first prize or place in a contest or endeavor. One that is acknowledged to be better than all others

C- charisma-the personal quality of leadership arousing popular loyalty or enthusiasm in others

H-humility-the quality or state of being humble.

A-adaptability-being able to make suitable or to fit to different conditions, adjust, to accommodate, to conform.

M-modesty-The quality or state of being modest; that lowly temper which accompanies a moderate estimate of one's own worth and importance; absence of self-assertion, arrogance, and presumption; humility respecting one's own merit.

P-passion- Strong feeling, emotion of affection or enthusiasm.

I-integrity-state or quality of being entire or complete; wholeness; entireness; unbroken state Moral soundness; honesty; freedom from corrupting influence or motive.

O-optimist-One who holds the opinion that all events are ordered for the best, one who looks on the bright side of things, or takes hopeful views.

N-nurture-training upbringing, the influences that modify the expression of an individual's heredity, make up and being.

S-selfless, unselfish ?taking one's ambitions aside and focusing on helping others obtain their desires.

It's obvious to me that champions are leaders and givers. Zig Ziglar said is best: "You can get everything you want in life, if you just help enough people get what they want." That is esentially what a champion in business accomplishes. It applies to sales people, corporate executives, MLM distributors, direct marketers, you name it, the same pricipals apply.

Success always leaves clues, those that follow them will become the future champions of the world.
