“Everyone loves a winner”. However, being a winner doesn’t mean you have to be in first place at a sporting endeavour or achieve the ultimate heights in professional and financial successes. LMA’s definition of being a winner is achieving the goals that are important to you, so that you can be your own definition of success in your life.<\/p>\n

At work we all have a choice. \u00a0To achieve and win at what we do or to let obstacles and circumstances stand in our way.\u00a0 Choose to become a winner.<\/p>\n

Winners approach life with the confident expectation that they can solve any problems that arises, turn difficult situations into positive advantages and achieve any realistic goal that is important to their success.\u00a0 Winners have a positive expectancy and radiate the attitude of success.<\/p>\n

Winners share some general attitudes that are basic to success. By practicing these attitudes, anyone can develop the habit of winning.<\/p>\n

\n
• Think positively<\/strong>. Winners start each day looking for what can be done instead of worrying about what can\u2019t be done. \u00a0Look for ways you can succeed rather than reasons why you can\u2019t.\u00a0\u00a0 Hold positive expectancy and develop basic plans for overcoming any obstacle or challenge that you may encounter.<\/li>\n
• Plan and set <\/strong>S.M.A.R.T goals<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>By setting S.M.A.R.T goals and developing detailed plans and action steps for their accomplishments, winners can make positive progress every day towards a goal. When they meet roadblocks or obstacles they have a plan which accounts for these issues and has outcomes which help to react, work through and overcome them. Winners are confident of their success because they know that by following their plans they will achieve their goals.<\/li>\n
• Expect to succeed: <\/strong>A mindset of positive expectancy is always to the fore front in the mind of a winner. \u00a0Winners understand that their attitudes create self-fulfilling prophecies. The powerful goal setting activity of winners transforms their expectations into the realities of success in life.<\/li>\n
• Accept responsibility: <\/strong>Winners adopt an “above the line” attitude. They exercise initiative and do what is needed because they know that it is up to them personally to achieve their success in life. Winners acknowledge their mistakes and failures and learn from them. As a result they grow in their own personal strength and character.<\/li>\n
• Use your creative abilities.<\/strong>\u00a0 Winners look for innovative new ways to improve their results.\u00a0 We are all born with the ability to be creative and innovative.\u00a0 Look for ways to do things better.\u00a0 Cultivate your creativity, exercise it, and trust it.<\/li>\n
• Make a personal commitment to your goals<\/strong>.\u00a0 Winners make commitments.\u00a0 When you decide to achieve a goal, commit to it\u2019s success immediately.\u00a0 Stick to your purpose until your goal is realised.\u00a0 Make a definite choice and then commit to following it.<\/li>\n
• Be willing to pay the price<\/strong>.\u00a0 Winners don\u2019t expect to get something for nothing.\u00a0 They are willing to invest the time, effort, creativity and money necessary to achieve their goals.\u00a0 Be prepared to do what it takes to become successful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
