It's about KNOWING from your core that you're the best. But how did he create this characteristic? And is this a quality that anyone can adopt, or is he just a cocky guy who was born that way?

One of the best coaches in the NFL wrote a book outlining his philosophy, so I feel it's a no-brainer to read it and mine for gold.

Sheek Louch (from The Lox) acquires that “go-getter” mentality in his track “Get Money” with Jadakiss. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to get what it is he wants, even if it takes a month. Don’t have what you want? Make the required sacrifices. Don’t rest until you reach the top!
