8 Qualities Mumpreneurs Could Learn From Lleyton Hewitt

Dee Britton

Did you see Leyton Hewitt’s tennis match at the Australian Open against Novak Djokovic on Monday night?

It was absolutely sensational!

Lleyton Hewitt is a real Aussie icon so it is fitting that I write about him on Australia Day.

As busy mumpreneurs we can learn a lot from Lleyton and how he plays his tennis.

8 Qualities Mumpreneurs Could Learn From Lleyton Hewitt

  1. Never Give Up – Lleyton has a ‘never say die’ attitude. No matter what the score is in his tennis game he always gives  it his all. No matter what is going on in your life or your business it is just an obstacle and you must push through keeping your eye on the finish line.
  2. Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone – Lleyton pushes through pain and other barriers to make the most of the situation. Staying comfortable gets you nowhere. Do things that scare you a little and take some risks. You never know what will happen if you don’t try.
  3. Be Authentic – Some people have criticized Lleyton over the years for being a bit of a spoiled brat. I personally believe that he is very authentic. You have to be who you really are to be totally true to yourself. Remove any masks you have been wearing.
  4. Live With No Regrets – Lleyton will never die wondering. He has played in the Australian Open tennis tournament 16 years straight. He knows what he wants and he goes after it. What are you not doing that you really want to achieve?
  5. Learn From Mentors – Lleyton has worked very hard throughout his tennis career but one of the other reasons for his success is he has watched and learned from those players who were better than him. Who are you learning from who has already achieved what you want to achieve?
  6. Work On The Mind – Lleyton understands that success mainly comes from the mind and your thoughts. Even when Lleyton was world number 1 he would watch DVD’s of the ‘Rocky’ series to fire himself up. Your mind is your greatest asset. You need to be doing some sort of mind work everyday in order to grow as a person and grow your business.
  7. Seek Opportunities – Lleyton understands that his tennis career will not last forever and is currently pursuing other income opportunites setting himself and his family up for the future. Have you got all your eggs in one basket or does your financial future look quite secure?
  8. Give Back To The Community – Lleyton volunteers and donates regularly to charities and events. He knows the benefits of giving back to the community. What are you doing to ensure you are giving back to the community?

The most important thing that Lleyton does that you need to do is to get a coach to help you improve what ever aspect of your life is not working as good as it could be. All successful sports people, successful business people, successful celebrities understand that in order to be the best they need to aquire the assistance of a coach.

What area of your life do you think you need a coach?

Do you possess all the qualities that make Lleyton successful?

I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment box below.

I know that you are here with a purpose and you have a message to share.

It is time for you to start living an exceptional life!

To health, happiness & living the life of YOUR dreams.

Women On Top – Against The Odds

by DEE on January 27, 2012

‘If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader’.  – John Quincy Adams

Women On Top Against The Odds

Resilient Women Share Their Business Success Strategies

As a busy mumpreneur I spend many hours every week learning from other successful mumpreneurs and life and business mentors. A few years ago I traded in my television viewing time for learning. So most evenings you can now find me reading books, reading business or health magazines, listening to teleseminars or doing research on the internet.

I just love learning and I am getting better at applying also. Because their is no real reason to learn if you don’t take any action and apply what you have learned.

My birthday and Christmas lists are always full of new books or products that I want so I can learn more and apply these learnings to my life or my business ensuring that I am living the best life I possibly can.

This Christmas I was fortunate enough to get Women On Top written by Sally Healy & Terri M Cooper.

I have just finished it this week and I really wanted to share it with you.

Women On Top – against the odds, reveals the early struggles that these two tenacious and determined business women faced and the key strategies which enabled them to eventually establish their own thriving national businesses. This book exposes the truth behind their hard won success: it is the frank and honest book they both wish they could have found when they were strong young women with dreams of independence, sometimes succumbing to doubt and dealing with the unforeseen hardships life dealt to them.

Sally and Terri also invited a collection of respected women to revel their tough but true journeys, encouraging other women to travel their higher path, lighting the way for others as they go.

This book profiles the inspirational Australian women who have overcome obstacles or personal challenges and sometimes made gut-wrenching choices in order to follow a dream.

The stories are diverse and compelling, and resonate with honesty, heart and humour.

The book contains bonus chapters on entrepreneurship and personal branding written by Dr Lois P Frankel, internationally-acclaimed author of  ‘Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office’.

Women on Top  is divided up into 2 sections.

In Section A you will find profiles of:

  • a cross section of age groups from Gen Y to 60-something.
  • women from a variety of industries across Australia.
  • not-for-profit CEO’s, company directors and small business owners.

In Section B you will learn how to:

  • think like an entrepreneur.
  • develop your value-added brand.
  • find the right coach for you.
  • establish your own ‘strong women doing interesting things’ network.
  • build your profile through publishing….. and more.

I highly recommend you read this book if you are a business women.

I would love to hear your thoughts if you have already read it by leaving them in the comment box below.

We have all got so much we can learn from the people who have gone before us.

If you are not learning you are not growing. If you are not growing you are dying.

To health, happiness & living the life of your dreams.

Dee :-)
