Underdogs are not just fictional characters like Rocky Balboa. Rudy Ruttiger is an amazing true story. Adrian Peterson was an underdog this year (as well as Peyton Manning). Richard Branson was dyslexic, did terrible in school, and is now a billionaire entrepreneur. Real underdog examples are abundant. The mentality is the same.
Underdogs are scrappers. If they think see a slight chance in succeeding in something, they will go for it.
Because odds are stacked against them, they work harder, longer, and with more passion.
Underdogs constantly aim to make progress. Because of that, they are more likely to surpass all self expectations and the expectations of others.
Being the underdog feels good. It feels good to reach something that was previously thought as unreachable, look back at the ground covered, then smile and keep moving forward.
Being the underdog turns a tough journey into an unpredictable adventure. Its fun.
Once they experience it, they want to do it again. It's addictive. Because with each milestone they reach, they will find themselves thinking less and less about feet on the ground, and thinking more and more about what to reach for next.
And it all starts with the underdog. Adapt the mentality.
