The high-performing entrepreneur can learn a lot from the high-performing athlete.
To excel, they have to be at their best, both physically and mentally.
Here are 7 ways you can tap into peak performance:
1) Study Your Craft
A good athlete watches game film to analyze himself and his opponents.
The entrepreneur is the same:
• Reads constantly
• Studies autobiographies
• Learns the intricacies of the game
He who doesn’t study his craft is at a huge disadvantage.
2) Steal Like an Artist
Kobe copied Jordan.
Bezos (allegedly) copies Musk.
In sports or in business, the top players see what’s working in others, refine it, and make it their own.
3) Learn From Mentors
MJ learned from Phil Jackson.
Aaron Rodgers learned from Favre.
And Buffet learned from Benjamin Graham.
Thinking you can figure it out on your own is short-sighted and egoic.
Learning from those ahead of you is the best way to expedite your growth.
4) Visualize Success
Athletes use visualization to put in reps without having to practice physically.
The entrepreneur can do this too:
• Picture an ideal future
• Visualize closing a sales call
• Imagine speaking in front of hundreds
Visualization is extremely powerful.
5) Cultivate Mental Toughness
Becoming a top-level athlete requires absurd mental toughness.
But so does becoming a successful entrepreneur.
Failure is unavoidable.
Self-doubt is constant.
Tough times are inevitable.
The only way through?
A hardened mind.
6) Recover Properly
Hustle culture likes to tell you to “sleep when you’re dead.”
But the richest man in the world and the best QB in the NFL disagree.
Jeff Bezos famously gets 8 hours a night.
And Patrick Mahomes aims for 9-10.
But you’re too busy to sleep?
Doubtful.
7) Fuel Your Body
The athlete must eat clean and hydrate to perform physically.
The entrepreneur must do the same to perform mentally.
Here’s how:
• Limit alcohol
• Eat whole foods
• Drink a gallon of water
You aren’t performing your best if you aren’t fueling properly.
7 ways to achieve peak performance:
• Fuel your body

• Visualize success
• Recover properly
• Steal like an artist
• Learn from mentors
• Build mental toughness
