Winning wisdom from one of my favorite shows

One of my favorite shows on Netflix: Prince of Tennis Even though it’s based on an anime for kids, I always get a new insight every time I watch it. Like: During one hard-fought competition, the main character’s tennis team is up against a very strong competitor. At first, it looks like Team Defense—that’s what we’re calling the “bad guys”—has the upper hand. Because they’ve done something seemingly super smart… Each Defense team member has practiced plays specifically designed to overcome their opponent’s unique moves and strengths. So for the first round or two, Team Offense—that’s the team we’re rooting for—gets crushed . Defense has an answer for every one of their special plays. But very quickly, our main team figures out what’s going on. Good thing they have an ace up their sleeve: Their coach gives them the go-ahead to whip out the next-level version of their unique moves, which they’ve been secretly practicing. But because Team Defense spent all their time practicing for Team Offense’s up-until-now current moves, they’re completely unprepared to handle the new faster and stronger plays. That’s why Offense will always win. Because Defense practiced to not lose, while Offense practiced to win . Trying to grow your business by focusing on productivity, or “brute forcing” your way through your to-do’s, is the business version of Team Defense’s mistake. It’s also the same reason why you might feel like you can never “catch up.” (Because you can’t!) Or wonder how you can possibly grow your business to where you want when you’re already so overwhelmed trying to do everything already. To switch to playing Offense instead of Defense in your business… So you can actually grow your business instead of just spinning around on that endless hamster wheel of to-do’s… There’s a completely different way of managing and working in your business available to you. It’s a way that focuses on effectiveness over efficiency. On opportunity over to-do’s. And as a result, growth over productivity. But in a way that also means you end up working less…because the work you’re doing actually matters more. If you want to learn how to completely change the way you manage and work in your business… So you’re able to work less and get better results… And finally, free yourself from an unending to-do list that consumes all your time and yet doesn’t grow your business that much… I show you how—which is the exact way I’ve worked in my own business for the past 9+ years to produce unheard of growth and profit while working the least—in my DONE training series.
