What has an Olympic Gold Medal Winner in common with us?

I had the opportunity to go along to a function by the New Zealand Sign & Display Association this evening, of which we are members.

One of the presenters was Hamish Carter, Olympic gold medal winner of the triathlon of the games in Athens. Hamish is a very down to earth, approachable guy. I had the fortune to have a good conversation with him afterwards.

On the subject of how a habit is turned into a passion and winning, he had an interesting take. "You need to train hard, but to win, you have to have a rest occasionally. Most passionate people keep going, without a break, and don't allow their body to recover. A winner takes time out."

The parallel? To be successful in business, you need the passion, but to become a leader, you need to take time out to recover occasionally. What I found in many of the guys in window tinting is a focus on the "recovery time", and casually forgetting about the part which comes first: the passion!

So in the company of a winner (how can you argue with this?) we enjoyed pizzas and some drinks to practice some "recovery".
