"When you play all the way to the whistle you don't have to worry about the clock."
- Ryan Holiday from The Obstacle is the Way
In Rugby, refs play advantage even when a whistle could be blown. It allows for play to continue if the non-offending team can take advantage.
How many times have we see players stop when they've seen an error waiting for the ref to blow the whistle - only to see the other team take the advantage and even score?
Play to the whistle.
Stop expecting the whistle. Even when you perceive something that could stop the game.
Go all the way.
How many time do we see this in sales or business?
We are expecting something to happen and it doesn't, so we stop.
We perceive something that we think impacts our ability to move forward but our action (or inaction) ends up having the biggest impact on the... deal, sale, meeting, game...
Play all the way to the whistle.
