Winner, Winner
Are you successfully promoting your victories?
"To the victor go the spoils."

The spoils of victory are the
bonuses and treasure you get for
winning. In the olden days of war,
the winning army pretty much
got to loot the countryside and
take whatever they wanted. In a
relatively civilized setting, we use
it more symbolically or metaphorically. The winner gets whatever
benefits go with the actual winning
of the event. They could be formal
or informal -- that is, they could
be a designated part of the prize:
a gold medal; a contract with a
manufacturer; celebrity status; gifts
or media attention or simple brag4 4 / P I Z Z AT O D AY. C O M / A U G U S T 2 0 1 7

ging rights.

In our industry there are
some pretty major events, such

as the International Pizza Challenge at International Pizza Expo.
Joe Torre, a professional baseball
executive, once commented: "Competing at the highest level is not
about winning. It's about preparation, courage, understanding and
nurturing your people, and heart.
Winning is the result." How do

stand out on the list. Everyone has
the desire to win, but only champions have the desire to prepare. Jane
Mines of Nima's Pizza put Gassville,
Akansas, on the map when she
claimed the titles of "best traditional
pizza in the United States" and
second place "best traditional pizza
in the world" in 2010. Mines desired
to excel in her field, and she says
she "dreams a lot at night, dreams
recipes." Mines has competed since
2008, associating with like-minded
individuals and always working to
perfect her craft. This perseverance
made Nima's not just a restaurant
but also a destination.
