Giving It Your Best Shot By Ed Levesko At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

This expression has such wonderful clarity of purpose that we often take it for granted and forget what it is meant to convey.

In business, as in our daily lives, we have to be prepared to adjust our planning not in terms of long term goals, but rather in terms of the small things that creep up on us as we try to go about making sure that we are on top of the situation, that we have the tools to deal with the uncertainty of everyday events.

But this should not keep us from realizing that when we go into business for ourselves, when we make that decision to take the bull by the horns, as it were, we are in essence giving that particular enterprise our best shot!

And what does that mean?

Does it mean that we not only give it our best shot first thing in the morning when we prepare ourselves to what the day will bring? Or does it mean that once we set our goals and priorities that the only thing we have to do is maintain a minimum effort, trust our luck and the outcome will conform to what we set out to do in the first place? Sort of like kicking the tires of the car, every morning, before we head out to fight traffic

Nothing could be further from the truth. To give it our best shot, as the title of this piece suggest, is to go all the way out every time we are at bat, to use a much-touted metaphor. To draw a simple analogy with baseball, it is hard to imagine a batter going out and not giving it his best shot every time he is at home plate ready to bat.

His whole goal, his total concentration, is on hitting that ball out of the park every time he gets up to bat. He does not think of what he did on the last inning’; that’s history. He gets up and gives it his best shot every time! The pre-game strategy and warm up will pay off.

And it is his consistency that leads not only to singles, doubles or triples, with no errors, but also to the ultimate goal: A homer. If his preparation has been done with due diligence and, with a bit of luck, it will be homer with the bases loaded! That’s keeping your eyes on the ball.

Yeah, that’s the ticket and that is what we should aim with our On-Line Business if we want to obtain the financial success that we deserve and desire! To be consistent with our batting average, to be on top of the pitch and to hit that ball with everything we can bring to the effort, to swing for the fences regardless of what the pitcher—life and its vicissitudes—throws at us.

Practicing giving our best shot to our On-Line Business is an on-going adventure. It is not a one shot deal and that’s it. It is every time! It has to be consistent with our established goals, it is a dedication to Excellency, to Success and to Financial Independence; it is, indeed, giving it our best shot!
