Survivor is one of the most popular shows of all time.
After more than 40 seasons it still continues to entertain.
In my book the greatest winner was used car sales man Brian Heidik.
(From Survivor Thailand.)
What was really amazing about this guy was how effortless he made it look.
During one tribal council he said something that I’ll never forget.
I can’t remember the exact quote but it was something about how you have to, “Be the ice man.”
What he meant was that to win you can’t get too emotional. When times are tough you need to keep your cool and have ice in your veins. You cannot feel fear or any type of negative emotion or give into anxiety and neurosis. You have to be like a gunslinger crossed with a top gun pilot and focus exclusively on your goals while thinking only of success.
Most people can’t do this and it’s why they don’t get anywhere.
If you’re one of these people remember that fear recedes before facts.
The more you know the more confident you’ll be…
…so make sure to leave no stone unturned.
(In either business or life)
Bottom line?
Become the ice man and you might too have a shot at sole survivor.
