Winning the Game

It's Friday in the fall...and that means high school football!

I LOVE this time of year...the only thing better is spring training for baseball!

I am constantly reminded when I watch high school football of several key things that easily translate to your job as a bank or credit union marketer:

1. The games not over until the whistle sounds


2. One play can alter an entire game


3. Its the most prepared team that wins...

For each item, the translation to your job is:

1. Keep plugging along and refocusing your efforts...the competition isn't slowing down and neither should you!  If you are behind goal at mid-year, reevaluate what you can do the remaining months...the goal is STILL within reach!


2. Its all about focus...  Keep the focus, its the little plays and small decisions you make and the small demonstrations of support and encouragement that can completely change the outcome of a game!


3. The most prepared team...not always the most athletically gifted or the bank/CU with the best rates or best locations.  The team that works most together as a team and keeps sight on the end prize while having done their prep work WILL be the winner!

Hope you have a GREAT Friday...

Cheers!

Friday...the end or the beginning?

Happy Friday everyone...

But Friday's pose a question that helps us determine the MOST successful and those that are successful some of the time.

The question...

                     Is Friday the end of the week... or the beginning of the next week?

My answer... its the end of the week for those that are successful some of the time and the beginning of the week for the most successful!

Here is a "game changer" thought to ponder...

• Make Friday the 1st day of planning for the next week
• Make Friday the 1st day of retro review for this week

 Hope you have a GREAT Friday...

Cheers!
