I love watching lions, tigers and other big cats hunting. A careful look at the lifestyle of a lioness, or a tiger watching a herd of cattles or bulls run across a field is quite revealing.
The cat is calm and watches carefully. It doesn't allow the noise and the dusty atmosphere intimidate it.
It's not just patiently waiting for #AnOpportunity. No!
It's waiting for #TheOpportunity.
It knows there's one zebra or antelope in the herd. It watches out for the perfect match for its strengths and speed.
Once a perfect match appears, the cat launches an attack. No matter how many hoofs and shuffles it has to deal with, the cat stays focused on the pursuit.
Gradually, one step at a time, the cat approaches faster and suddenly kills its prey.
Cat's don't pursue a prey because they can.
Cat's pursue a prey because they want to make a kill.
Lessons
Everyday presents us with different opportunities. We meet and have to talk with most people everyday. But like a smart predator, we'll have to spot out our best leads and stay focused on maximizing these opportunities.
Yes, we may not win, but our targeted efforts pay off over time.
Every opportunity is not a good one. Thus, we must know the difference. We begin with a list of possible leads, isolate them according to our strengths, experiences and our convictions.
However, we may have to sometimes go beyond these limits if we're hungry enough to go an extra mile. Yes we can, but like the cat, we don't grind because we can. We grind because we're here to win.
As we grow our entrepreneurial spirits, we'll be able to differentiate between good and poor leads. Once we find the right lead... #WePOUNCE.
Go through the night if you have to. Yes! Stay up late and grind until you win. But like the cat, once you see results, you don't feel the pains of the pursuit anymore.
Today's another day.
Let's grind to win knowing that the best is yet to come. Will you like to join our team?
Get on board now.
Be ready every single time.
Coz.. THE BEST IS YET TO COME
