Most fighters are fighting for themselves and could care less about the money. If more sports had athletes like this it would be a great change. Just like in a company being cocky and feeling like no one can touch you. Often ends up with you or the company going under.

I can really relate to this video. It’s hard to accomplish a goal sometimes but if you want something bad enough, you will find a way to do it. For example, I’ve always wanted to learn to dance but never felt like I could because I was too old. I looked into the dance program here at Southeastern and signed up once I found out I could do it as a beginner. It has definitely not been easy and it can get pretty embarrassing sometimes when I mess up in front of the people who have been dancing their whole lives. However, I know this is what I want to do, and I won’t let a little embarrassment get in the way of my dream. I think a lot of business professionals need to keep this in mind as well. As he stated in the video, he will not leave the office until the job is done. He won’t let anything get in the way of completing his goals in the office and I feel like people would be more productive if they had this mindset.

This was a good video in that it takes fighting and uses it in a business aspect. If you are well prepared and train well, then you will come out on top. You will face obstacles in anything you do, but if you are well prepared, then you will be able to overcome those obstacles.

Do you know that 70 % of MMA fighter have college degrees. No meat heads there. I have practiced some form of Jui Jitsu, Judo, or wrestling since high school. I find it to be relaxing and a different way to exercise your brain. It is a great way to see how you respond under the combination of mental and physical pressure. Thing about it, you having to critically think and strategize while another human being is trying to choke you.

I like these videos that compare a CEO's position to someone who is just a fighter or, in the case of the biker video, a bike messenger. It shows that even people who don't a higher up career use the "work smart, fight smart" tactic when it comes to getting things done. Everyone needs to have that mind set. That no matter their position, they need to always being fighting for something better.

This is a great video! I like how he pointed out how he has never been the strongest or biggest, but he is still motivated to succeed at all costs, because it is a goal that he has set and he is willing to do whatever it takes to make that goal a reality. In business areas, if we are willing to take risks, we can learn about how far we are willing to go to accomplish the goals that we have set. When we train regularly, we tend to have less ego because we are working for ourselves to reach a goal, and don't care about what people around us think. In the end, if we can simply have a strong vision of where we are wanting to go, and be willing to fight any obstacle that may come in our way, we can accomplish anything we set our minds to in life.

"What you put into something is what your going to get out of it." This one sentence summarizes so much in life. Many people wonder why they are failing at life, it is often because they have not given enough or put enough into it. It is easy to blame others for our problems but many times we need to sit back and focus on how we can change our future. If you take more responsibility for your destiny you can have a greater chance of it being the outcome that you would ideally desire.

In business, as well as MMA, it is necessary to fight smart. If you train regularly, then you tend to have less ego because you get put in your place a lot. If you have a goal and a dream, then you will be able to achieve it if you persevere. I can relate to this video because I have trained a little bit of MMA. I know what it is like to win, as well as lose. It relates to business because I was able to fight hard and do my best, and it paid off in the end.

This video reminded me of the concept " work harder not smarter" . There can be two people with the same credentials and experience working for the same business, but what matters is who over comes the other first. It's not always fast, it takes time and focus. The more you push the harder you will work. You have to have the skill, the will power and the drive to reach your goal, same goes with working in a business setting. . If you do not put any effort into something then nothing great will come from it. You need to put a lot into something if you want results. Great video. I will def share with family and friends because everyone needs to know this concept.

I really like this video because of the simplicity behind the relationship. The business world is definitely like the ring. The companies with the strongest fighters and the most determined employees usually reap the benefits. The competitive natures are very similar where companies try to shift new products into the market or develop new technologies, most of which can be a crippling blow to its competitors. I think a very interesting point made in this video was about the training and egos. The better a company's staff is equipped with the knowledge to work effectively, the less a company will have an ego to compensate for. When you are constantly learning from experience, the less a company will be taking its position for granted.

My takeaway from this video is perseverance will pay off. If you have a goal, stick to it; don’t give up when times get hard. I think this is a good motivational video for anyone to watch and I would recommend it to anyone that feels they need that extra push to accomplish something. We, as students, must keep this idea in our minds at all times. There’s going to be a class that really throws you for a loop, and you must remember to stick with it. Overall, this was a good video.

This video was very motivational. You can not give up on your goals, no matter what obstacles come your way. There is not anything worth having that doesn't require hard work and dedication. Sometimes you just have to keep on keeping on. He paints a great picture of physical fighting and fighting in business. You can't stop until it's finished if you want to be successful.

I agree that seeing through commitments and fighting to accomplish things is always what you should strive to do. I like that he compares business to fighting saying that all you have to do is set goals for yourself and fight to accomplish them. I completely agree with this theory.

I think this was an interesting video in how he related his fighting to the business world that he is in. The goals he sets for himself are great and good advice for everyone. One can feel like they are being strangled or hit on at work due to the stress and so on. By this guy being a fighter he has more self confidence to deal with those difficult things that come into place everyday. I use to do kick boxing and by doing that I definetly felt more self confidence, I felt like I could take on the world.
