Stack Up the Daily Wins

Too many people are looking for a home run in business and life.

They want the one massive hit that will fast-track their progress and somehow guarantee success and an easy life moving forward.

That's not how it works.

...and if you're always looking for the home run...

1. It's extremely unlikely that you'll ever get it.

2. If you do get it, you won't have a strategy for replicating that win in the future.

Baseball games aren't won from a single home run.

They're won by running up the score through strategy, skill, great pitching, great fielding, bunts, and stolen bases … great fundamental skills repeated over and over and over.

Your success in business and life will be no different.

If a home run is a major breakthrough or one massive initiative that's a success...

Base hits are the small, daily wins.

Showing up and executing your tasks at a high level.

Holding yourself and the people around you to a high standard.

Attacking the day with urgency and intent.

Learning and building new skills.

Doing these things even on the days when you'd much rather fucking quit than take another step forward.

These are your daily wins.

They're actions you can repeat every day to continue making progress.

Quit looking for the home run.

Invest your effort and energy into solid fundamental execution and strategy by stacking up daily wins.

It's the only strategy that will guarantee you win long-term.
