Proper Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance

THE MIMS MORNING MEETING

http://www.mimsmorningmeeting.com

While driving to an appointment and listening to my favorite sports talk show, ESPN Radio with
Colin Cowherd as the host, I heard an interview with
Warren Moon, a newly elected member of the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame. 
Warren Moon, now retired, spent his most productive years as a quarterback for the Houston Oilers. The Houston Oilers were charter members of the American Football League, now transplanted to Nashville, Tennessee, and rebranded as the Tennessee Titans.      When
Moon was asked about his years of greatness and success as a winning quarterback, he said, “I did all my hard work on the practice field the week before the games.” 
Moon went on to explain, “If practice was a success I knew that the game would be great and we had a better than 90% chance of winning.”       Those two statements by Mr. Moon brought me back to a statement my eighth-grade English teacher Lady-Marie Scranton would make at least once a week to a room full of wannabe smart ones: Proper Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance. She was referring to the homework assignments that had not been turned in and the likely impact on Friday’s examination.  I carry those six P words with me in every job I tackle. In order to sell in a business-to-business environment you must properly plan before you enter the game.http://www.mimsmorningmeeting.com
