Play darts to become a better businessman
One thing that is interesting about Buffalo, New York is how much everyone loves their darts. It’s easy to learn and fun to play. Accuracy and precision are another thing that aren’t quite so easy to master.
Being as I haven’t grown up playing darts, it’s not unreasonable to imagine that I am not very good at it.
But I have learned one thing that could translate to the business world. It may not be applicable in all circumstances, but what is? The lesson that I have learned is to chase opportunity, not you competitors.
In darts, if your opponent closes off the 20s, you go after the 19s. In business, if everyone is selling warm lemonade, you might go set up a chilled kool-aid stand. Then again, is that where the real opportunity lies? Perhaps you might start selling your competition lemons and ice cubes.
Always look for the opportunity and strive to reach the goals you set. That is where the real bucks will be made. Hey, if it was easy to become a millionaire then everyone would be doing it.
