My work experience is primarily with industrial control systems for refrigerated warehouses and other automated processes. I like hands-on technical applications - I'm not too much of a "theory guy".

What does it mean to think like a champion? Profound question! I'm sure that volumes could be filled on that subject. In a nutshell, though, it seems that it has to begin with a burning desire to excel at something you are passionate about. Once that foundation has been established it must be followed by focused, unrelenting effort to achieve the desired level of performance. Long-term focused effort - never satisfied with the degree of accomplishment - always striving to refine and improve performance in order to reach a higher level.

How does one acquire that mindset? I think there has to be an innate driving force. A person may not realize that they have it in them until something triggers it. It could be exposure to something new that really excites them, or it could be that they decide that mediocrity is just not acceptable anymore. Suddenly they become driven by that internal desire to have or achieve something. It becomes their passion - their core desire. From that point they acquire the mindset of a champion.
