Moneta’s Post

I'm going to focus my posts this week on #coaching. After all, I've learned this past year that it can mean a lot of things. What exactly does it mean to me? ⛹♂️ Arkansas State University point guard Derrian Ford describes it well in this video when he talks about basketball and cybersecurity. The short answer? In IT, there are a lot of Xs and Os that won't help you succeed. Don't be fooled by them. 🃏 Find a #technology firm to partner with that brings your business the winning playbook. That's how winners win. #YourITcoach #PCAknowsIT

Something brilliant has been transpiring on the south coast of England in the small city of Brighton and Hove. Brighton and Hove Albon F.C have not only transformed their fortunes on the football pitch in the said decade and a half, in no small part to their fantastic chairman TonyBloom but also added value to their local economy off the pitch thanks to their on-field success. Tony Bloom’s era began in League One and Brighton currently finds itself among the premier league regulars with strong finances grounded in a shrewd transfer policy that would be the envy of any club across the premier league. The ethos of scouting young players, who have the potential to be world-beaters and giving them a platform to achieve just that in the world’s most popular league and then shipping them off to the bigger clubs for exorbitant price tags has been a phenomenal success. They have sold Ben White (50 million£), Marc Cucurella (55 million£ + 7 million£ in add-ons) and Moises Caicedo (100 million£ + 15 million£ in add-ons) in just the last three years. Their squad is brimming with multiple talents (Kaoru Mitoma, Evan Ferguson, Julio Enciso and many more) that could fetch similar sums in the coming years. They have built up a setup to be able to identify the right coaches over the years to continue and build on the success they have had previously. When Graham Potter was lured away by Chelsea (not before having to pay a fat fee to Brighton), they found a replacement in Roberto De Zerbi, who has got Brighton playing so well that you would be forgiven for thinking that he has been there for the last decade. They are already playing in European competition this season, what Brighton could achieve in the coming years is anybody’s guess but it would take a brave person to bet against them. This is a case of how management at the top could completely transform any institution through long-term vision, a strong fundamental understanding of all areas of the business and passion for the project. #BrightonandHoveAlbionFC #Football #Business #Transfers 

Sacrifice and Discipline... I can talk about this all day. These are the 2 things that separate Winners from losers and Average from Great. What people don't understand is that if you don't have BOTH of these, you will NOT be great at anything. Sorry, that is the truth, and NO MATTER what society is trying to push on us today. Those "participation" trophies you have on your shelf don't mean anything; only the Championship does. They mean you showed up, but you weren't the best... the question is, did you learn from that and have the discipline and sacrifice to train and learn what you needed to so you could win the championship? In business, if you had a bad quarter or a bad year, did you go out and figure out what happened? Was it a lack of discipline in learning your scripts, making your calls or showing up every day? Did you lack the sacrifice for the stated goal that you had? If you sacrifice enough and have the discipline to know exactly what you need to do to win, and you DON'T QUIT, you will never lose!!
