Beating the Odds in Business This Year
Monday, February 8th, 2010Thank you New Orleans Saints! Winning the Super Bowl and changing the game! Finally someone, most likely a Situational Specialist, gave a risky, gutsty play to the coach and said, “Let’s just do it!”
That beautiful on-side kick at the beginning of the second half of the game was the model for what needs to come next for busines.s
Business in 2010 is not business as usual, it isn’t the highly anticipated long field kick-off, but instead it is some risky, gutsy, short kick on your part that is going to make all the difference.
Ask yourself three questions today to see if you have what it takes to win your own Super Bowl of business this year;
1. What is it that I am not considering that would really get the attention I need for my business?
2. What is it about this move that would rally the troups and have everyone on board?
3. Who are the people around me that will help make this happen?
After these questions are answered you need to do a mirror check. Looking yourself and your team in the eye you have to ask, what is it that we need to get this all done? Are we all ready for this or do we need some help? Who will coach us through this gutsy move?
Find a good situational specialist to be the “coach” for the coach and for the team during this time. Someone who will not necessarily pull it off, but make sure your people are ready to pull it off. Be their supporter, cheerleader, and sometimes task master.
Just go out there and be bold!
