Last weekend, I had the chance to compete in my first pickleball tournament at the PickleballEngland English Open, and it reminded me of some powerful lessons about business. In both arenas, success is built on a foundation of hard work. Here’s how: 1. Preparation is Key: Just like hours of practice improve your game, deep industry knowledge and strategic planning are crucial in business. You can’t show up unprepared and expect to win. 2. Adaptability Wins Matches: On the court, you adjust your strategy based on your opponent’s strengths. In business, flexibility allows you to pivot when markets change or challenges arise. 3. Consistency Drives Results: A single good shot doesn’t win a tournament, just as a single good day won’t build a business. Consistent effort and execution are what lead to long-term success. 4. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: In doubles, chemistry with your partner is everything. Similarly, in business, collaboration and communication with your team amplify success. 5. Resilience Matters Most: In both pickleball and business, setbacks are inevitable. The winners are those who keep pushing, learn from losses, and come back stronger. Whether it’s on the court or in the boardroom, there’s no substitute for hard work. Every effort compounds, bringing you one step closer to victory. 🥈 #Leadership #HardWork #Pickleball #BusinessStrategy #GrowthMindset

I just finished Jon Gordon's "You Win in the Locker Room First." One of my favorite quotes by him in the book was "Don't focus on winning championships, focus on building champions." 🏆 As an Athletic Director I am focusing on shifting my focus to nurturing a winning mindset and culture within our teams. #ChampionMindset #TeamBuilding #SuccessSecrets #athleticdirector #Athletics #Growthmindset

Business lessons from the 50 yard line… Reflecting on my son's freshman football season – a journey filled with growth, teamwork, and resilience. From the highs of victory to the challenges of defeat, the parallels with the business world are evident. Building a successful team, adapting to change, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement – valuable lessons that transcend the field and seamlessly apply to the corporate arena. Drawing inspiration from high school football, where the 'Facing the Giants' death crawl teaches blind determination, I find parallels in the business world. Achieving end-of-year sales quotas demands a similar mindset—going the extra mile, pushing through challenges, and exceeding what seems possible. Lessons in perseverance from unexpected sources can fuel our professional journey. Here's to embracing the spirit of the death crawl and conquering our 2023 goals with unwavering determination! #SantaMargaritaCatholicHighSchoolFootball #Parenting #BusinessLessons #Teamwork #salesgoals #Determination #BusinessSuccess Joshua Rosenthal Tony Guttery Sarah Grimstead, CBPA Anthony N.

THE BUSINESS MARATHON BUILT TO LEAD Leading a #business to new heights as CEO is a marathon, not a sprint. There will be moments of exhilarating victories, like landing a huge contract or seeing your product take off. But inevitably, there will be setbacks, missed targets, and moments where you feel like you're slogging through mud. The key to success lies in resilience. You need the stamina to keep pushing forward, even when doubt creeps in. Remember, every win, no matter how small, is a step closer to the finish line. Just like a marathon runner who paces themselves, a #CEO needs to be strategic. You can't burn out trying to do everything at once. It's about setting realistic goals, delegating tasks effectively, and building a strong team that complements your skillset. By surrounding yourself with talented individuals and fostering a culture of collaboration, you free yourself up to focus on the big picture, steering the company towards long-term growth. The CEO's journey is rarely a solo act. There will be times when you feel like you're constantly lagging behind, playing catch-up with the ever-evolving market or the demands of your #team. But don't be discouraged. The best CEOs view challenges as opportunities to learn and adapt. Embrace the long haul, celebrate every milestone, and remember, perseverance is what separates those who start the race from those who cross the finish line first. #victory #winning #resilience SEE MY FAVORITE RUNNER
