What Steve Nash can teach you about business
Basketball MVP Steve Nash has had some phenomenal successes in his career. I recently read this quote from Nash, who grew up just a few hours away from me:
People have always doubted whether I was good enough to play this game at this level. I thought I was, and I thought I could be. What other people thought was really always irrelevant to me.
So, if you’re suffering from concerns that you’re not good enough, not successful enough, not talented enough or anything else, stop worrying about the rest of the world for now. Focus on yourself. Believe in yourself. You’re the only one who matters. And, if you’ve dared to think you can do it, you can redirect your energy to a plan for succeeding.
Great quote from a great athlete and class-act individual and I’m not just saying that because I’m a Phoenix Suns!
One thing I have learned over the years is that even the people we think are at their “A” game or the best in their field have doubts about their abilities. Yes, even people like Michael Jordan or Winston Churchill had doubts. At the end of the day, the only opinion that should matter is your own.
