Well, they did it!
Andy Murray and Serena Williams are Wimbledon Champions again! …
Love them or not, love tennis or not, Sunday was a huge moment and, since then, we’ve been thinking … it says a lot about success both in sport and business.
You see, success hinges on a few vital things. Obviously talent. Obviously persistence. But a few others too…

THE POWER OF INTENT
You often hear people claim they’re passionate or driven … or in a fleeting moment, determined to do this or that.
But the best sports people go beyond determination.
They have a kind of intent – a complete focus, and total belief in, the certainty of the end result.
For instance, last week when Murray got into his 5-set battle against Tsonga, he won a key point and yelled to his box, “There is no way I’m losing this match!”
That’s intent.
He was always willing to chase down another ball, and do what it took to get the win.
Serena had the same intent.
Every business leader should look at this…or any other sporting triumph … and ask the big question:
“Will my team really do everything it takes?”
Most won’t.
But maybe you’re different?

THE POWER OF SUPPORT
Serena’s support team is pretty stable. Andy’s is not … but … in the month since Murray teamed back up with his old coach Ivan Lendl, he’s won 2 titles. That’s 12 straight matches.
Being great at what you do will only get you so far…to get the big results, you’ve got to have the best people behind you/around you/with you/ supporting you.
NOW – PUT THOSE 2 ESSENTIALS TOGETHER …
Think about it. A ruthless commitment to results, and the right team behind you. That’s a pretty strong foundation for success … wouldn’t you say?
