Who Inspires You to be Your Best?

If you want to be successful in life the bottom line is that you have to be one of the best in your field. You have to focus on something and be the very best at it. Only the best earn the highest pay.

I struggle daily to find what I’m best at so I can focus my time on it. I’m always doing lots of different things, whatever is necessary but I don’t feel I’m good at making the best use of my time, probably because I don’t what the best use of my time is.

I work in the Internet marketing field, I guess you would call it, and I try to become better at it. But I can’t say that Internet marketing Gurus inspire me at all. Working on Web business is what I love but I’m inspired by other professionals.

I’m really inspired by Donald Trump, at least in the realm of business success. He is so passionate about his work and is moving millions around on a daily basis. I wish I were that passionate about my work and being the very best at it. I also like Trump a lot because he’s so focused on quality. The only downside to Trump is he seems to work 24/7 whereas I would like a little more balance in my life even if I love my work.

I’m greatly inspired by certain athletes. I imagine the discipline, talent and willpower they must have to be among the best of the game. I’m a big fan of Rafa Nadal. He really inspires me because he doesn’t seem to be as talented as other tennis players but wins more than anyone, with the exception of Federer. Nadal seems to have a really really strong work ethic on and off the court. He is always the player on the court who’s in the best shape, who can go 5 sets and stay fresh and full of energy. He is the strongest mentally and pulls out many hard fought victories against technically better opponents.

It’s not just Rafa, I’m inspired by all great athletes more than any other professionals. Maybe that’s because I’m a terrible athlete!  If I could be half as successful as these guys I would be a happy camper.
