I\u2019ve started playing basketball a couple mornings each week with my son Elijah. I played basketball in high school, but I\u2019m definitely rusty now. My eyes also have a depth perception issue which keeps me from being able to judge how far away the goal is.<\/p>\n

\"basketball<\/a>So if it\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve shot a basketball, my brain has to re-learn the court. My arms have to re-learn how hard or soft to throw. Without depth perception, all of my other senses have to engage to help my body know how to get the ball in the basket. That takes time and practice.<\/p>\n

To retrain my body, I\u2019ve spent the last three visits to the gym practicing bank shots. That\u2019s where you aim for the corner of the square on the basketball goal and let the ball ricochet into the basket.\u00a0 Most of the time, I miss. This morning, as I was wrapping up, I thought, \u201cCould I at least make three in a row?\u201d\u00a0 I shot three times and made it, but then missed several after that.<\/p>\n

I tried to increase the streak to four without any luck. Then, I realize that I didn\u2019t really believe I could make more than three in a row. So, using a bit of energy work, I tweaked my beliefs and put in, \u201cI can make at least ten shots in a row.\u201d<\/p>\n

I shot a few, missed and then an idea struck. What if I shot from one spot, focused on getting the ball to the upper-right corner of the box and just did that over and over again? What if I extended my right arm as high as possible, so I got as close to the goal as I could, and shot? I was standing close to the goal. Surely I could make at least ten in a row that way.<\/p>\n

So I began \u2026 one, two, three, four in a row\u2026 seven, eight, nine, TEN in a row! That seemed so easy, I thought, \u201cWhy not keep going?\u201d\u00a0 I continued \u2026 twelve \u2026 fifteen \u2026 twenty. \u201cGood grief! I could go on forever!\u201d I thought. And that\u2019s when I got a little sloppy. After twenty-two in a row, I missed.<\/p>\n

Immediately, I saw the metaphor for business in this little basketball exercise. The same things that helped me shoot twenty-two shots in a row would help me (or anyone else) succeed more consistently in their businesses.<\/p>\n

First, you\u2019ve got to believe it\u2019s possible.<\/strong> If you don\u2019t believe the goal you\u2019re aiming for is attainable, you\u2019re never going to achieve it. So as my mentor, Carolyn Cooper<\/a>, says: you have to line up your \u201cenergetic stance.\u201d Your belief system and energy need to be aligned with the goal.<\/p>\n

Second, you\u2019ll need to set a specific objective and FOCUS on it.<\/strong> In my case, I aimed for the top right corner of the square. My only objective was to make the ball hit that corner. I didn\u2019t get fancy with it, didn\u2019t aim anywhere else, just focused on the corner. If you can focus on performing one specific revenue-generating activity in your business exceptionally well and consistently, you will see results.<\/p>\n

Third, consistency.<\/strong> I had to keep doing the same thing over and over again. As long as I kept my focus and acted consistently in a certain way, I kept getting positive results.<\/p>\n

Fourth, extend yourself!<\/strong> I reached as high as I could with my right hand before releasing the ball. This expelled the excess energy which might have caused me to throw the ball too hard. It also brought me as close to my goal as possible.\u00a0 Extending yourself outside your comfort zone in your business will do the same thing for you.<\/p>\n

Fifth, follow through.<\/strong> Extending for as long as possible is what we call \u201cfollow through\u201d in basketball. In your business, you also need to follow through. That means following up on leads, going the extra mile for a client, doing what it takes to build relationships with colleagues and potential customers. A lot of times we have a tendency to stop short and sabotage our efforts. Follow through!<\/p>\n

Sixth, release the ball.<\/strong> There comes a time after you\u2019ve done all you can do, that you have to let go and trust. If you\u2019ve extended yourself and followed through, the ball will reach its target, and you will see your own bank shot to success.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s a bit of a warning. You\u2019re going to get tired. Rather than get sloppy like I did and miss the shot, why not take a break and rest a bit?\u00a0 Had I stopped shooting for a moment, let my body rejuvenate, and then took another shot, I bet I wouldn\u2019t have missed. And I would have hit 23, 24, 25, 26, etc\u2026 in a row. There is nothing wrong with taking a rest when you’re tired. In fact, it’s a natural part of the creative cycle.<\/p>\n
