A final four team could teach us all a lesson. The best things in life are really free.
Villanova is one of the final four teams that will play this weekend. All the teams could teach us about success, they played great team basketball, hit the clutch shots, were prepared, etc.
But I want to focus on Villanova. Villanova beat Pittsburgh with a last second shot (more of a lay-up) with a half of a second left on the clock. But to me, the real story is how the took advantage of the uncontested free throws. For the game, they were an amazing 22 of 23 from the charity stripe. All tournament long, you could watch amazing athletes who can jump high, shoot far, move quick, but they missed free throw after free throw. Not Villanova.....and they are in the final four to prove it.
Let's relate that to your business. How are you doing with the small stuff, the little things that may not be as "sexy" as the seemingly more important or exciting things. Some things to consider...
You get excited about the new client/customer, while you ignore the ones who have been with you for awhile.
You don't return the phone calls as fast as you should.
The thank you card/email is not sent out like it once was.
You don't keep up with the competition as you once did.
If you are wanting to get to the final four, make sure your free throwing shooting is good. Don't take my word for it, you can ask any Memphis fan from last year. Stay Tuned. See my new speaking demo at http://www.bransonbusiness.blogspot.com/
