Today I'm gonna touch on finding sponsors outside of the fight industry.
The majority of this post was actually submitted by my buddy MarQ who runs the Wombat Sports website.
I made a few changes but the majority is his. He made some great points so I want to share them with you.
Here we go...
Do you ever get anxious or nervous before a fight? Or maybe just before a sparring session? Perhaps something else entirely?
Today I'm going to share a simple way to reduce your frustration or worry.
Like when your boss says, "We need to talk. Meet me in my office after lunch."
Then you spend half the workday racking your brain, worrying about what he wants to talk about.
Or how about when your girlfriend says it...
"We need to talk"
Aye yai yai.
What a horrible thing to hear, haha.
Or maybe you're just stuck in traffic and you're so frustrated you feel like ramming the driver in front of you, haha
Well, when you feel frustration, anger, or worry do this:
I've had a number of fighters contact me thinking they need a winning record to get sponsored.
Here's what some of them have said to me:
“I have more losses than wins, can I still get sponsored?”
“It seems like sponsors don’t want to be there unless you win your fights. But you can’t win them all.”
“I’m not confident talking to sponsors because I’m still an amateur fighter, and don’t feel like I’ve proven myself due to my losing record.”
That thinking is dead wrong.
And now, let me put your mind at ease.
Today I’ll show you how to get more of what you want with less effort.
And that of course, also means less stress.
Each day we have 176,439,079 choices to make (give or take a couple, hah).
Some of those choices will make us money, grow our confidence, and move our lives forward.
But most of those choices just waste our time and money. And this stresses us the fuck out! hah.
"I just wasted $xxx.xx and all those hours of work. Shit!"
Personally, I hate spending time on anything that isn’t necessary.
I want to have things done so I can enjoy my free time. I don't want to stress about unfinished business.
I want to do the things I enjoy most.
Things like taking naps and going on hikes! haha
Or better yet…going on a hike, eating pizza afterward, then coming home, watching some MMA (and eating more pizza).
Now that's a good day!
I’m sure you’d like to have tons of free time, without stress or guilt, right?
Well you can. Here's what you do:
Have you ever asked a sponsor, event promoter, trainer, sparring partner (or anyone really) a question and their only reply is “I don’t know”?
Maybe they’re pressed for time, maybe they don’t want to help you, or maybe they genuinely don’t know.
Whatever the reason, I'm going to show you how to instantly bypass their mental roadblock and get what you want.
