Bow Bowman (Swim Coach, of M. Phelps) Spin on IBD's Success Tips

Num	Maxim	Notes
1	HOW YOU THINK IS EVERTHING	Be positive. Have a picture in your head of where you want to go - that should be your focus - even Brian Crutcher says this
2	DECIDE UPON YOUR TRUE DREAMS AND GOALS	Write them down and be specific. Goals should mean something to you Remember Lombardi : Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal
3	TAKE ACTION	Remember Google's hiring checklist : Bias to Action!
4	NEVER STOP LEARNING	Go to someone better than you and ask them questions
5	BE PERSISTENT AND WORK HARD	Success is a marathon. Never give up.
6	LEARN TO ANALYZE DETAILS	The higher up you go, the more the little things matter. Neils Bohr : an expert is someone who has made every mistake that can be made in a very narrow field
7	FOCUS YOUR TIME AND MONEY	Don't let other people or things distract you
8	DON'T BE AFRAID TO INNOVATE	Following the herd is a sure way to mediocrity
9	DEAL AND COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE EFFECTIVELY	Keep adding to your tool box. Don't go through life with only a hammer
10	BE HONEST AND DEPENDABLE - TAKE RESPONSIBILITY	All the others don't matter if you don't have this.
