 Be it summer or Winter Olympics, I love watching skilled athletes ply their trade in competitive situations with no guarantees after years of training. The Paris games recently came to a close and once again I was mesmerized by what I was watching as each event was telecast.

As you might have guessed, I connected the goings on with you and the challenges you face in trying to “win” at your business. Maybe “win” is the wrong .word. Perhaps competing says it best.

In any event, you may not be in the running to earn a medal in LA in four years, but you are in position to become a winner in the game you are currently playing … the game of business.

Olympic champions do not come by accident. Nor does success in the travel busioness. Olympic champiomns earn their medals. And you will earn yours.
