Wrestling
with Success: Developing a Winning Mentality
From the Inside Cover
Who’s your most dangerous opponent in the quest for success?
You. But don’t worry, former World Heavyweight Wrestling
Champion Nikita Koloff is in your corner. He’s here to coach
you, hold-by-hold, through the toughest match of your life, and
to make sure that you come out on top.
You don’t have to be a wrestler
to succeed, but you do have to wrestle--with your
self-discipline and desires, with your passions and attitude,
with your beliefs and spirituality. Nikita shows you how.
This book is not about
professional wrestling--it’s way better than that! Sure, there
are plenty of behind-the-scenes stories from the wild, surreal
world of pro wrestling, but Nikita shows you how you can learn
from these stories and examples and use them to build your own
success.
He shows you how to:
- Set goals that you can achieve
- Develop mental toughness
- Use your emotional sensitivity
the right way
- Take smart risks
- Make your success a
predetermined outcome
- And a whole lot more
In case you’re not willing to
take just his word for it, Nikita presents the personal stories
of other high achievers to help you attain your ultimate
success, no matter how you define it. He shares the ring with
his good friend Jeffrey Gitomer, who gives you the benefit of
the insights and principles that have made him one of the
world’s top salesmen.
Make no mistake, your life is a championship match, and you are
both the challenger and the challenged. But here’s the cool
part: If you work hard, follow the step-by-step lessons you’ll
learn in Wrestling with Success, and keep your eyes on the
prize--you’ll win!

Book Description
Nikita Koloff grew up in the welfare projects of Minneapolis,
the poor child of a single parent. He dreamed of becoming a
professional football player, but a twist of fate brought him to
wrestling when he badly broke his leg playing the game he loved.
While rehabilitating at Jesse Ventura’s gym, he earned his shot
at wrestling glory—as a star with the National Wrestling
Alliance. The rest is history. Koloff became one of the
country’s most famous wrestlers, eventually retiring in 1992 as
the World Heavyweight Champion.
After his wrestling career ended, Koloff took the lessons he
learned in the ring and applied them to the other aspects of his
life—achieving new successes as a youth minister, a professional
speaker, and a successful entrepreneur. Wrestling with Success
distills the life lessons Koloff learned while overcoming
challenge after challenge to find the success he dreamed of as a
child. These lessons serve as inspiration and motivation for
anyone who wants to reach their goals, and shows the importance
of hard work, faith, mental toughness, and a willingness to take
risks. He shows readers how to prepare themselves for any
challenge—in sports, in business, or in their personal lives—and
succeed spectacularly. Packed with insight for anyone who wants
to achieve more, Wrestling with Success also includes a Foreword
by Jesse Ventura.
