You gain new rooms and firmer foundations through finding the lessons in every moment. Being the best at something requires a different kind of mindset. It's the force of will that pushes you to give 100%, rather than 90%. The greatest are those who truly do give it everything. Life's too short to spend it looking back. Never dwell on failures or letdowns. Pick yourself up, point yourself in the right direction and move on. There are barriers to entry in every aspect of life, but these are usually remnants of the past. Changing the world takes time, but we're gradually stripping away the systemic barriers that hold us back BEST MOMENTS 'It's that mindset in business where you say "Is this the best your company can be?"' 'Don't spend a second of your life looking back. You write it off. You flush the toilet. You move on' 'If you start with a short-term narrow approach such as "I wanna make a load of money", then you'll never get there' 'We can't change history. What we can do is be better today' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission   Matchroom Sport - https://matchroom.com Matchroom Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/matchroom Matchroom Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/matchroom/  Barry Hearn Book - https://amzn.to/3euBeIc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EllieMckay
