Success comes to those who have the confidence to win. This is the common trait among athletes and entrepreneurs who have achieved their desired goals.

A report from Entrepreneur confirmed this when successful athletes who played in the Rio Olympics were interviewed and asked how they built their confidence to win. Their attitudes and beliefs run parallel to those of entrepreneurs striving to succeed in their lines of business.

In any game, there are rules and they must be followed. Both Sports and Business have their own rules being followed by their players and succeeding while abiding by such rules is vital to the success of the players' endeavors.

The first aspect to look at is the goals to achieve on the way to success. Goals must be set, record times for the athlete or revenue targets for the entrepreneur. Once these are set then it is now easy for them to formulate ways to achieve those goals.

For the athletes, practice is the main activity and for the entrepreneur, the determination to pursue the right plans and strategies to use in their business. There is no easy way to build confidence in one's work. This can only be achieved through hard work and the resiliency to stay on track when frustration threatens to block the road to success.

Always keeping the goals in mind will help the athlete or entrepreneur develop daily routine activities that will keep them in perfect form. The Observer reports that this constant process of advancement that results to achieving the skills needed for success.

Another aspect to consider is commitment to one's calling. One has to be dedicated to become a well-developed athlete or entrepreneur. Records are meant to be broken and the sky is the limit for entrepreneurs.

The final thing to consider is assistance from organizations that are related to their sports or line of business. These networks were established to help entrepreneurs or athletes achieve their goals.
