It could easily be only yesterday (The only easy day was yesterday)

One of the most famous sayings, "fur seals". When you go to your goal, every day can be a challenge. If you wake up every day with the idea that they are ready for testing, and they will make you better, you can achieve any goal.

Therefore, gain comfort in discomfort (Get comfortable being uncomfortable)

One of the exercises in the training of "lion" is called the "water torture". You hold hands with other soldiers and dive into the water. There you are to the early stages of hypothermia. The initial phases of training suggests that this exercise will be done every day. It teaches us to ignore the discomfort and to concentrate on the task.

When I began to run a business, I have many times faced with uncomfortable situations. Awkward conversations with subordinates, lawsuits or dissatisfaction demanding shareholders. Discomfort can come in different forms. The sooner you learn not to be afraid of it, the more confident you will become.

Do not drive themselves to death (Do not run to your death)

"Navy SEALs" is often uttered this phrase. And it's not a metaphor. In combat load conditions on the body can be superheavy. Therefore, with the goal, it is important to slowly approach its implementation. The same applies to life situations. Even if you have a plan, do not hurry, be smarter and not drive themselves to death.

Have common goals (Have a shared sense of purpose)

Everything changes. Employees come and go. New technologies. You are surrounded by so many moving parts, and it is important to find people who are pursuing the same goals as you are, and share similar ideals. But finding like-minded people, you'll be much closer to success.

Move, shoot, Chat (Move, shoot, communicate)

"Navy SEALs" have to master three actions:

1. Move: the team must work as a well-coordinated mechanism.
2. Shoot: no comment.
3. Meet: the team must constantly keep in touch.

The same philosophy can be applied in business and work. The team must work together and in time to adapt to changing conditions. Which brings us to the next point.

The plan runs until the first contact with the enemy (No plan survives first contact with the enemy)

This statement of the German commander of the First World War, Helmuth von Moltke. The same Mike Tyson once said:

Each of us has a plan until you are slapped in the face.

That is why the training and preparation is even more important than a well thought out plan.

Everything is at stake. Always (All in, all the time)

Being a good fighter is not enough to get into the team, "fur seals". It is necessary to sacrifice everything just to survive another day. You will not be able to be a great man (if you have such a goal), without the risk. Just putting everything on the line, you can win even more.
