Actions Follow Thoughts
Did you hear about Ken Jennings?
You may or may not know him.
He is (was) Jeopardy's whiz kid.
I'm not a big fan of the show, but Bernadette, my wife won't miss it.
After 75 days, 975 different categories, and 4575 questions he finally lost.
Or did he . .
.
Maybe Nancy Zerg, who unseated the champion, had something to do with it.
She told the Associated Press, "She psyched herself up before the game show by repeating to herself: someone's got to beat him some time, it might as well be me."
While backstage with rival contestants she observed they had lost before show even started. She heard one guy say he hoped he wouldn't be humiliated and another say he was playing for second place.
The next time you're facing either a tough competitor or a challenging customer - consider Nancy Zerg as a role model for winning the big one.
1. She played the game to win.
2. She knows actions follow thoughts.
3. She thought she could win.
4. She said she could win.
Sounds like a great strategy for winning the "Big Deals."
