Self Storage Tip💡 💰
Today’s tip section is slightly different ...
We’re talking Tennis ….Whatttt I hear you say ??? 🤷♂️
Hear me out ladies and gents …
Roger Federer said something in a speech not so long ago and I thought it really important to highlight his mindset
This will blow your mind
(For anyone that doesn’t know Roger, Feders to his friends 😂 happens to be one of the all time great tennis players)
Anyway, this is what he said -
“I only won 54% of my shots”
That blew my mind … One of the best tennis players of all time only won 54% of his shots
My takeaways from this incredible stat were,
It’s about knowing when it’s an important battle (point) to win
Very few moments in life define us and our life but when they do come along you better be ready to take advantage and win that point 🎾
For me, opening up my first self storage was one of those moments, I have no idea what I’d be doing, now if I didn’t take that swing and win that point Last take away
The mindset to come back from a loss, regroup and carry on is AMAZING!
46% of Feders (see were mates 😂) shots were losers … It’s ok to lose, it’s part of life and business, it’s to be expected
The most important part of losing is acknowledging it, learning from the mistakes and carrying on … Just like my mate Feders
Ermmmm if anyone is in any doubts …. I don’t actually know Feders 😂
Anyway, it’s ok not to win all the time …. But what is not ok is having a defeatist attitude when you do lose … Pick yourself back up and do a Federer 🎾
