Nico Rosberg of Germany and Mercedes GP celebrates his win in parc ferme during the Formula One Grand Prix of Singapore at Marina Bay Street Circuit on September 18, 2016 in Singapore.
In late 2016, Rosberg announced that he would retire just days after being crowned world champion. Rosberg said he didn’t regret choosing to step down when he did, dubbing it the “best decision,” as one of his main targets as a sportsman was to secure the driver’s championship title.
Since then, Rosberg has turned his attention to the tech space, having invested in Formula E, SpaceX, Lyft and What3Words.
“What I also learned (in quick decision-making) was the importance of focus. We see this a lot in the business world: the big achievers, they have this ability to focus and get rid of all the distractions that are in our lives, left, right and center — with social media, with this, with that. Get rid of it all.”
“Focus really, really precisely on what you want to achieve and dedicate everything you have to that,” the investor said, adding that it’s also key to remember that a better life means better performance.
“At the same time as focusing, make sure you keep that balance — and keep that balance with private life, friends, relaxation, because if you have that balance it will help you perform much better. It will help you make better decisions on a regular basis.”
