    About this ebook


    In these tough economic times, former Green Beret officer Bob Mayer uses military techniques to show readers how to succeed by conquering fear.

    In today’s fast-moving world, change occurs constantly, competition is fierce, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for people to achieve success—both personal and professional. Bob Mayer argues that for most, the one most common obstacle standing in the way is fear.

    Who Dares Wins     shares the time-tested techniques of the Special Forces, proven elite warriors trained to conquer fear, dare to be different, and accomplish what others consider impossible. Mayer outlines specific steps for discovering what is holding you back and offers hands-on exercises for increasing motivation to reach those goals. Bringing his unique blend of practical Special Operations Strategies and Tactics mixed with the vision of an artist, Mayer helps readers get to know themselves, identify blind spots, and overcome fear to achieve success.

    "Bob Mayer gives us a unique and valuable window into the shadowy world of our country’s elite fighting forces and how you can apply many of the concepts and strategies they use for success in your own life and organization." —Jack Canfield, creator of the Chicken Soup book series

      Who Dares Wins - Bob Mayer

      You must have goals that are clearly defined and can be stated in one sentence.

      You must understand why you’re trying to achieve your goals, what impact they’ll have on your environment, and how your environment affects you.

      Generally in battle, use the normal force to engage; use the extraordinary to win.

      —SUN TZU

      We’ll cover the Wins part of Who Dares Wins first, because it’s best to have a clear direction as you work through the next two areas. Using Who Dares Wins techniques, you’ll begin by specifying goals, then understanding why you want to achieve them, and finish by studying the situation in which you are trying to have success.

      We will work on What (goals) you want to change. Then examine Why (intent) you want to change and achieve your goals. Then study Where (environment) change will occur.

      Goals are future oriented. Planning for the future is a cornerstone of Special Forces. A successful individual acts, while those that make up the norm are trying to maintain the status quo. Most people do not have well-defined, clear goals and thus never change. They spend significant time reacting instead of acting. Trying to achieve a goal through reaction is a self-defeating approach: you’re allowing your efforts to be dictated by external forces and others’ goals. To avoid this, it’s important that you apply the three tools in this area to your life, then you’ll be on the path to succeed the Green Beret way.

      TOOL ONE

      WHAT DO YOU WANT TO

      CHANGE AND ACHIEVE?

      INTRODUCTION

      If you don’t know where you are going, you are liable to end up somewhere else.

      —CASEY STENGEL

      The one-sentence goal is the tool that will become the foundation of everything you do. Having an idea of where you’re going, before you start on your path, is a key tenet of Green Beret operations. Then, being aware of the priority of goals and aligning the hierarchy can reduce conflict and enhance success.

      Clearly understanding your goals keeps you on target to succeed.

      SPECIAL FORCES ASSESSMENT AND SELECTION THOUGHT:

      Take your eyes off the price and put them on the prize.
