If theres one key lesson that 14 time WWE world heavyweight champion triple h has learned during his professional career its not to play it safe . but rather do the opposite.
'Take risks . if you believe in yourself if you believe in what you bring to the table you believe in your product take the risk ' paul michael levesque better known by his ring name triple h told CNBC tuesday when asked about how budding entrepreneurs should approach the notion of becoming the 'next big thing .'
'Take the gamble . bet on yourself because if you bet on yourself and you are willing to do the work you are willing to put in more work than anybody else you are willing to drive harder and engage more and never stop then you can succeed.'
Taking one risk is always a challenging task for any entrepreneur to consider and follow through on . for levesque however it is important to consider taking multiple risks throughout your life.
'If you can approach it that way and take every day on and i learned this from WWE CEO vince mcmahon approach every single day like its your first day on the job ' he told CNBC at the web summit technology conference in lisbon portugal.
'Just because you have done something this way and its been successful does not mean its still the right way ' levesque said . relook at it and if there are a different way to do it be willing to say 'i am going to forget about all of this and i am going to take that risk again and i am going to put all my chips on the table and i am going to gamble on myself.'
The world champion is no stranger to taking risks himself. as a child levesque was 'such a huge fan ' of WWE and knew he wanted to pursue the sport.
In a fireside chat with CNBC triple h said that when started to become successful in professional wrestling he become increasingly fascinated with both being in the ring and the behind the scenes element of the sport. today levesque holds the position as executive vice president for talent live events and creative at world wrestling entertainment WWE.
From my life to being a WWE superstar you take all those gambles along the way to then saying i am going to take a step back from that.
I am going to become an executive and try and do it in a different manner and try to grow the business differently.
From kicking off a professional wrestling career back in the 1990s to the present day where WWE sees levesque revolutionizing the business with his developmental training processes and global recruiting strategy levesque concluded the discussion with CNBC by stressing how putting in the hard work and taking a gamble can lead to life changing developments.
Reinvent yourself . take the risk . gamble on yourself and work harder than everybody else and no doubt you can succeed at anything.
