It’s the countdown to the winter Olympics (7 Feb), which I might not have otherwise noticed save for the scores of incredible stories (and beautiful people) that make up the Australian team.
From snowboarding champ Torah Bright who complains about the cold, to 14 year old Paralympian Ben Tudhope, to Jana Pittman who becomes the first Australian female athlete to compete in both the Summer and Winter Games. It reminds me what it takes to succeed at anything – let alone a winter Olympian born in the land down under! Entrepreneurs and Olympians share the characteristics of being a little crazy, persistent, resilient, can take heartache and make sacrifices.
And just like the journey to success at the winter Olympics, business is not an easy path but it’s a truly exciting one.
Good luck to our Australian team. http://sochi2014.olympics.com.au/
