Applying The Fighter Mentality To Every Area Of Life - with Leon McKenzie

Leon Mark McKenzie is an English former professional footballer who played as a forward from 1995 to 2013 who scored in all four English professional leagues during his career. He was also a professional boxer, competing in the super middleweight class.
Leon joins Steven to talk about what it takes to succeed at the highest levels of sport, the striking and unexpected similarities between these two sporting pursuits, and why making mistakes is okay so long as you come out fighting.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Information has always been limited to those in the past. Now, with the advent of social media, podcasts and the shared wisdom of others, finding your path through life is much easier.
the hard work required in order to achieve success is extraordinary. But once we find our dedication and the flow we need, it is far easier to maintain the high levels required.
Never judge a book by its cover, despite what we may assume we know. Those who have grown up dedicated to one pursuit, may always have harboured dreams for another. The fighter mentality allows us to follow our hearts towards different paths.
In order to understand ourselves better, we have to make mistakes. Only when we stumble, can we learn the most effective ways to pick ourselves back up, and carry these lessons forward.

ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
