Go Get ‘em
As you all know, certain quotes get me thinking and considering more than what they might exactly mean in the context intended. When I heard the quote below, was at a time that I think I needed to hear it. Was I in transition? Not sure the correct term of what I was in, but I certainly was contemplating what and where my next adventure was going to be.
By adventure, I mean business and/or project.
The following week, I started swinging. This is what I came up with:
- Started a new social media consulting company, working with companies who need and want to get into social media. It’s something I have been doing for a while, but finally made it official.
- Started seminars, trainings, and boot camps on the use to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Blogging.
- Started a lunch series to expand others networks, build and help Chicago small business, and support our local entrepreneurial community.
- Entered into a design competition for a major car company with a friend (who is an architect) – more to come, waiting to hear if we were short listed.
OK, so I started four new endeavors that I think I might have opted to sit back and think about them further before “swinging the bat” – however, I think the success I am seeing thus far is a result of doing something right then and there – going for the home run rather than a base hit.
Not sure.
“whether you’re prepared to hit the home run, or not, you’ve got to swing that bat and give it all you got”
- Gene Simmons (Family Jewels)
How about yourself? What can you do today to hit a home run? Curious to hear, and always open to helping anybody with brainstorming!
