Are You Ignoring These?

Back when I was coaching baseball I did a few
things that were considered 'unconventional'.

We spent about 1% of our time working on pickoff
plays. We spent zero time on tandem relays and we
didn't even have the old standby - the Hit & Run - in
the playbook.

(If you aren't a baseball fan and all of this is foreign
to you - just bear with me.)

We spent our practice time working on things like
fielding ground balls, throwing & catching and having
quality at bats.

Why?
Because 98% of baseball is in the basics.

In any given game, 26 out of 27 outs are going to
come from strike outs, fly balls and ground balls.

That's 96%.

But I've seen plenty of coaches spend 20-30% of
their practice time focusing on the things that
make up that other 4%.

Not a good idea if you ask me.

Be great at the basics and you're going to always
win a lot more than you lose.

If you can block and tackle in football...

If you can make layups, avoid turnovers and play
defense in basketball...

And if you can generate leads, close sales and deliver
results in business...

...you're almost assured of success.

So put your business under the microscope and
decide if you're great at the basics.

If not - put the other stuff on hold and focus on
the fundamentals until you have them where they
need to be.

Watch how fast your business improves if you do.

Dedicated to your success -
