Inspirational insights to help your business grow

Hey batter, batter…..

The curveball grip allows a pitcher to maintain a good grip on the ball, and therefore, control. The whole idea of the curveball is for the ball to curve as it reaches the plate, breaking below the bat of the hitter.

Now, it is much better for the pitcher throwing a curveball, if the batter thinks a fastball is being thrown. Therefore, secrecy should be maintained in the wind-up process.

"Circumstance" is the pitcher in the game of life; it relies on secrecy (in the form of unforeseen circumstances). You are the batter who must deal with whatever pitch is being thrown. It would be nice if every pitch was right over the plate and you could hit a home run on every swing. But it ain’t happening. You will be thrown fastballs, curveballs, occasionally, the off speed pitch (known as the change up) and yes every once and a while one right over the plate that you can hit.

As a good batter, you should know the arsenal of the pitcher you are facing and be prepared. It would be ridiculous to presume every pitch will be right over the plate at a speed in which you can handle it. You can predict all you want but until the pitch is thrown, there is no way of truly knowing; therefore, you must be prepared for all pitches.

We want a pitcher not a……

Oh yea, did I mention the "wild pitch" this is where neither, the batter, pitcher nor the fan knows where the ball is going. There have been many batters hit by such pitches, some shake it off and get right back in the game, others are ball shy and step back away from the plate afraid of being hit again.

In order to hit home runs in this life we need to shake off any pitches that are thrown at us. We need to understand that "life" will throw all sorts of pitches your way and you (the batter) must be prepared for whatever that pitch is. A good hitter, one that understands the pitchers arsenal, will hit many more homeruns than the batter who does not.

As you face "circumstance" (the pitcher), it is imperative to be prepared. You will get "beaned" by the occasional wild pitch, but shake it off and  climb back over the plate and keep swinging.

Remember a hitter with a high homerun percentage is going to get more walks in life than those that do not!

 "Live long and prosper" —-Spock

These words resonate loud and clear when spoken by Leonard Nimoy as Spock, the Vulcan in Star Trek.

It appears that Vulcan’s understand that health and prosperity are possible. After all, Vulcan’s do not let emotions rule their thinking, they only think logically. Therefore, it only seems logical that Spock thinks living long and prospering is possible. 

If we humans would start believing and stop letting emotions rule us, then we could do powerful things with our lives. It is logical that we drift towards what we focus our minds on.

There is a law of attraction that goes to work when we develop a solid plan. Get emotions out of the way and let logic take over. We reap what we sow and the more we sow the more we reap, this is logical. If you work hard, you will reap the benefits. If you do not and still expect to reap the benefits, well…”That is illogical Captain."

         Are you an entrepreneur or a wishepreneur?

A wishepreneur is someone that wishes they could get rich by doing nothing. They would like to post a blog and watch the riches come rolling in. Well, I am here to tell you folks it ain’t happening!  It takes work to make money.     

I learned this lesson when I was very young. You see, when I was five or six years old, I meet this old indian named Jedadiah that was chopping wood for my grandpa. He walked around the corner of the house and saw me with my eyes closed.

I was wishing my grandparents were rich so I could have anything I wanted. Jedadiah dropped the load of wood in a neat stack on the porch, I jumped with a startle, and he waved for me to follow him.     

Leading me to the woodpile he showed me how to use the axe and had me split a couple of the smaller pieces of wood. After, about six sticks were lying on the ground he told me to pick up a stick of wood.

However, he told me at the same time I pick up the wood with one hand; wish that the other hand had wood in it.

I did. 

“Which one filled up first?” He asked.            

I learned that day that you could wish with one hand, work with the other, and I find out which one fills up first.  The wisdom that old indian instilled into me that day is still with me.

You can not wish your way to prosperity.

It takes hard work to make money. Do you want to be an entrepreneur or a wishepreneur? You choose your path.

You decide which will fill up first.
