Are you playing to win or playing not to lose?

What’s the difference?

When you’re playing not to lose, you’re scared to make mistakes.  

You play safe.  

You play tense and you hold back.  

You react and you hesitate.

When you’re playing to win, you accept that mistakes are part of the process.

You’re willing to take on challenges, risk and the judgment of others.

You play hard, aggressive and full-out.

You’re proactive and clear.

Whether you’re fundraising or living life, ask yourself what kind of energy you bring.
