Effort
Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, put together an excellent post on effort. In his blog article, Cuban discussed his personal business experiences of having nothing but a dream and building on that. He described how he had to stay up late and improve efficiency to give himself the edge. Most of all, he emphasized the importance of effort.
Effort is measured by setting goals and getting results. What did i need to do to close this account. What did I need to do to win this segment of business. What did i need to do to understand this technology or that business better than anyone. What did I need to do to find an edge. Where does that edge come from and how was I going to get there.
The one thing in our business lives is effort. Either you make the commitment to get results or your don’t.
Putting in time and putting in effort are two very different things. Let’s hope we are able to improve our efficiency in this new year so that we can become successful individuals much like Mark.
