Killer instinct means having strong willpower. It’s not easy to spot, some people are hidden killers, they’re sweet and laid back, but when it’s time for business, get the hell out of their way.

It’s called the killer instinct because it’s innate. But, if you condition yourself long enough it can become second nature.

First, what are they like?

They are ruthless

Killers are lions with tunnel vision. When they see their prey, it’s seek-and-destroy time, and they’ll rip your head off if that’s what it takes.

Think about all the businessmen, politicians, athletes, or anyone who’s at the top of the food chain, they have zero mercy for their enemies.

They take it to the extreme

Killers are just as ruthless with themselves.

They’re willing to achieve what they want at all costs, even if it means sacrificing health and love, it’s why they win.

In baseball and in business, there are three types of people. Those who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happened. -Tommy Lasorda

Losers make excuses, winners make things happen.

They give no fucks
