The Sports Strategy Behind Managing an Entire Year | Lewis Howes
"PLAN YOUR PLAY."
We live streamed this episode of Coffee Conversations straight to YouTube -- and some of you sent us questions while we filmed!
It was awesome and we'll do more of these live episodes if you like them.
While Cesar and I were taking questions from you guys on social media, we kept discussing the same main theme.
It's something that has made the biggest difference in our business year after year.
It's the strategy we set up to manage our time throughout the year so that we can accomplish huge goals consistently.
The truth is, it's based on what we learned in sports.
The lessons we learned from football still keep us grounded and productive years later.
As we answered your questions, we kept coming back to how much this strategic mindset supports us when we set huge goals, get through slumps, stay positive, and more.
We realize that the more we choose to live and work in a disciplined, focused way, with plenty of play built in, the better we do all around.
Let us know your thoughts on this episode and the live stream after you listen to Episode 587.
