Everyday activities often teach lessons applicable to business. Take fishing.
• Get up early. The early bird catches the “fish” by maximizing opportunities.
• Have the right tackle. Proper business tools help us work more effectively.
• Watch the weather. Business climates change.
• Pivot. Know when it’s time to “fish or cut bait;” cut your losses and re-strategize.
• Fish with a guide. Mentor and be mentored.
• Take risks. Successes usually comes with risk.
• Wear sunscreen. Protect your business with proper insurance.
• Get your hands dirty. Be prepared to do whatever it takes.
• Relish the rewards. “Catching is better than fishing.” Share successes.
