In Business You Take the Bull by the Horns, In Basketball You Take Durant by the Goatee

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

  1. Ask someone who's a motha', not your mother, to be your challenger

  2. Invite him to Chipotle

  3. Pay for his Chipotle

  4. Write your first four challenges to pursue

  5. Make the first and third easy

  6. Define what hugs and horns mean if you complete or don't complete a challenge

  7. Leave that meeting in pursuit of your first challenge

  8. Meet next week to tell him if you've been successful

  9. Don't move on to the next challenge until you've completed the one at hand

  10. Know progression, not perfection, is key

  11. Keep believing in the Cavs
