Durant Means Business
Durant mopped us last night. 33 points. 13 rebounds. 6 assists. 3 steals. 1 question. Why didn't Lebron pull his goatee to stop him? That's the aggression you need in basketball. And the same applies in business.
Aggressive Means Pursue
If you don't want to pursue anything right now, that is 100% okay. If you do want to pursue something right now, you need to 100% start. How? You've been dragging your feet. Get a buddy who knows your business and is a bull. He will be your weekly challenger. He will pass the proverbial ball ahead of you and make you run to the ball. You get a hug if you complete his challenge and horns if you don't.
Friends Mean Help
There's a Googolplexian of ways you can be aggressive in business. Who cares if you know them. What matters is doing them. Invite a friend to help. Lebron can't win alone. You can't either.
Practical Next Steps
Ask someone who's a motha', not your mother, to be your challenger
Invite him to Chipotle
Pay for his Chipotle
Write your first four challenges to pursue
Make the first and third easy
Define what hugs and horns mean if you complete or don't complete a challenge
Leave that meeting in pursuit of your first challenge
Meet next week to tell him if you've been successful
Don't move on to the next challenge until you've completed the one at hand
Know progression, not perfection, is key
Keep believing in the Cavs
