Effort is a consistent game
to a winning business!
Effort, consistently, helps business move the performance needle. Right action, or effort, will help a business become successful!
“Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games.”
~Babe Ruth
I really like this photo of Babe Ruth. I searched to find a photo of this Baseball Legend in action, but none compared to the concentration and effort this photo reveals. Babe’s face is one of sheer determination to his a famed grand slam capability! His grip on the bat reveals all his efforts of training being funneled into his next swing. This stance is very different from the one I’m noticing of many business leaders today.
Too often I see business leaders generating a flurry of activity, but not moving their performance needle. I also see dedicated business leaders giving up right before they hit their home run. Neither of these situations generates enough appropriate support to sustain a business.
Is your effort supporting a winning or losing streak?
Babe Ruth’s quote is especially powerful if you utilize it as an over-simplified tool for your own effectiveness. It’s a great reminder that even though yesterday was filled with success, today invites you to the same opportunity. Will you accept the invitation?
As I’ve spoke with many business leaders over the past 15-20 years, I’ve notice a similar relationship between effort and success. The business leaders who consistently put for the effort are most successful. Conversely, those who show up as effortless, or their effort performance is inconsistent, are not. As I pondered this further, I realized a more subtle element of effort. Overall, effort is an external action reflecting an individual’s mindset. Whoa, that’s deep! The good news is we all have a choice to which mindset we will allow to rule our lives.
