What do business leaders and elite athletes have in common? Mental toughness and a belief in self even under the most inhumane and trying of circumstances. Making it to the top is a result of careful planning and the setting and reaching of many little goals along the way. Success is a journey not a desination. When you reach the top you can never rest on your laurels but rather, must continually reinvent yourself to stay ahead of the pack. There is nothing worthwhile done without risk.
