Are You a Winner or a Loser?

By Jesse Cannone

I received this amazing checklist from success coach Steve Chandler today, who received it from martial artist Peter Ragnar.

As soon as I saw this I immediately thought of you. Every single item on the list below could easily be applied to any area of your life:

• Relationships
• Business
• Sports
• Health
• Spiritual

Some thought I was being harsh last year when I pointed out the difference between being a winner and being a loser.

It provoked one of the longest running discourses in the history of this blog. And after all that I still maintain that winners choose to get rid of their pain while losers make excuses and choose to keep living with it.

You see, I offer help every day to those who want to improve their lives by finding relief from back pain, neck pain and sciatica. There are so many opportunities to improve your condition if you’ll only try. Your success is literally in your hands. But it’s up to you to make the change.

Now with that in mind… take a look at this success checklist and compare where you are today, right now, with where you need to be to win:
