If you are building your business or just planning to do it, start exercising regularly. This will help you achieve great success. In a nutshell, the reasons are as follows: our brain often uses the same areas to perform different tasks, often very distant from each other. For example, playing a musical instrument improves memory. Therefore, it is impossible to be a genius only in one area, but not to have the makings in others.
Here are the qualities and skills that sports develops and business requires:
- Regularity — quality that is required for any activity. Systematic training will teach you to deal with business issues, regardless of the circumstances.
- The ability to wait for results. Very often in the gym you can see new faces in the spring. As a rule, these beginners want the result instantly, so that they can lose weight and press cubes. As a result, — torn ligaments and exhausted appearance. The analogy with entrepreneurs who are waiting for mountains of gold three months later, I think, is clear.
- The ability to overcome routine. To repeat the same stroke thousands of times to achieve the correct serve, someone will be bored. Because it's routine. Similarly, doing business for 99% consists of repeating the same actions.
- Attention to detail. In sports, as in business, there are no trifles. Moreover, an insignificant detail can fundamentally change everything. For example, in a barbell press from the chest, a "T-shirt" made of special material can increase the lifted weight up to 200 kg. As a result, a different lifting technique and separate competitions "with equipment" and without.
- Bet on specialists. To justify this point, I will quote this wonderful quote: "If you need to make a team that would win the high jump, you are looking for one guy who can jump seven feet, not seven who can jump a foot each " Frederick Terman. And already a support team is selected for such a specialist.
- Ability to compete. A prerequisite in sports is competition (for example, yoga or aerobics is not a sport). Also in business, competition is one of the important components. A famous football aphorism: "It's not enough to get into the goal, you also have to miss the goalkeeper.", can be formulated in business terms as follows: "It's not enough to come up with a new product, you also need to release it before competitors ." A striking example is Apple, which was the first to offer tablets to consumers.
- Ability to work in a team. Companies spend a lot of money every year on team-building trainings, while regular internal tournaments on team play would give the same results for much less money.
- Give 110%. To achieve results, you need to be able to reach the opening of the second breath. But remember, with serious sports loads, it's not the muscles that get tired first, but the central nervous system. Similarly, in business — motivation gets tired first.
In the end, I will remind you of an obvious fact. Doing sports will help you to be healthy and cheerful. Agree, this is also important in business.
