What is your batting average in life and business
Baseball great Ted Williams once commented about those that fail ‘only’ seven times out of ten attempts will be the greatest in the game. This is true both in sports, business and in life. Ty Cobb is Baseball’s All Time Batting Leader with a .366 batting average.
Did you know that John Elway one of the best Quarterbacks of all time, threw 226 interceptions in his career and completed less than 60% of his passes. He is considered one of the best NFL Quarterbacks of all time.
The Beatles had 27 songs that went to number one in the United Kingdom on the Record Retailer magazine charts and/or the United States on the Billboard magazine charts. Yet they wrote and recorded 213 songs.
I challenge you to keep taking risks, learning from those experiences and repeat over and over again. No one ever hits 100% but you will fail 100% of the times that you don’t try. So keep swinging for the fences.
