Hit It Out of the Park

How are you hitting it out of the park? What are your best opportunities?

"Buffett sometimes speaks of Ted Williams, known as the greatest hitter of all-time, when he talks about making decisions about what deals to pursue. Williams broke down the strike zone for a baseball hitter into 77 cells, each cell the size of a baseball. He calculated that there were only 9 cells in that zone that had his highest yield opportunities to hit if a pitch came into the strike zone.

Buffett uses the same type of thinking. He knows that even though he could make lots of deals, his best opportunities for real success are few in number. By knowing his own filter of characteristics for the perfect opportunity, he can be patient and not take every deal. He waits for the ones he can knock out of the park."

The Men Who Built America

Rockefeller, Carnegie, and JP Morgan, three great business men that shaped the foundation for the United States. These gentlemen laid the ground work for entrepreneurs to come. They may have been cut throat, and they may have been outrageous, but they were just what our country needed. Perhaps the same drive and desire is needed today to reshape the good ole USA.

Clarity

How clear is the vision of your future? What do the next 2, 5,& 10 years look like? What is the path that will lead you to your future?

We must have a clear understanding and picture of what we really want. What you really want should have an emotional tie.

The clearer the vision, the better the imprint in the unconscious mind. The greater the imprint, the greater the propensity to achieve.
