This was the question that drove Ben Hunt-Davis and his crew to Olympic gold in 2000. Every decision, every action, every tiny detail was assessed against one simple metric: “๐๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐ฉ ๐ข๐๐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐๐ฉ ๐๐ค ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง?”
Their commitment to this principle was so strong that they even chose to skip the Olympic opening ceremony because attending would have meant missing a meal – demonstrating their unwavering focus on performance.
It’s a powerful mindset – not just in sport, but in business too.
As a business mentor, I see too many entrepreneurs and business owners getting caught up in distractions – spending time on things that feel productive but don’t actually move them forward. Meetings that don’t lead to sales. Marketing that doesn’t align with their ideal client. Operational tweaks that don’t impact profitability.
That’s why I encourage my clients to ask their own version of this question:
– ๐๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ค๐ช๐ด๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ด๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ธ?

It’s about focus, clarity, and making fractional differences that compound into major success.
If you applied this mindset to your business, what would you do differently today?
Constantly ask yourself: “๐๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐ฉ ๐ข๐๐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐๐ฉ ๐๐ค ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง?”
