Achieve Anything!!
A revolutionary approach to achieving your goals.
Do you feel like you’re on top of the world? Or like you’re blowing it?
Either way, the science behind the so-called winner effect is both fascinating and scary. Here’s why.
Two scientists have two mice fight over a piece of territory, and the reason they do this is because they drugged up Mouse B so Mouse A was a for-sure winner. The next fight was clean, but again, Mouse A won with a far higher probability. Why? Because Mouse A had more confidence, more testosterone, and more wins under his belt.
Long story short, it’s a vicious cycle that seems to appear in every part of your life. The more you win, the more likely you are to keep on winning.
You see it with rich people who get richer because their wealth compounds in value. Every success that an entrepreneur has makes them more confident, attracts better people to work for them, and makes building the next billion-dollar empire easier.
Same effect on athletes, even with their testosterone spikes after a win, even though the latter were just drunk sidelines.
Men who receive a lot of interest from women become more attractive because of the already established interest in them. Win a competition, biochemistry and cognitive abilities improve towards repeating that win.
