There is no second prize

Not sure Jimmy Barnes had this right in his song, but I want to come to terms with my extensive experience in sporting success.

How sweet it is to push home the winning run in the context of the 1913 baseball final. How satisfied are you scoring the winning basket in the championship game school district. Ok, enough of my sporting glory, as it was fleeting. Sporting analogies are often used in the world of commercial success for companies and individuals to locate. It seems that everyone is workingto be number one.

So second place is worth or is that only the loser in a grand final? Maybe next year the winner know what to change to win? From a sport, it's easy to pick winners, but in the business world is a much more subjective.

With only a so-called winner, everyone is relegated to second place and beyond? Is to have a lot of us working on our game (a more subtle sports analogy) to find improvements that cansame success in the future?

The adage about how you play the game creates a chord in me, and enterprises today is all about how you behave and how you define business. How do you want to achieve success? Is it at all or you can play the game with integrity and loyalty?

The business game is now more concerned about the acquisition and consolidation, making it difficult to choose the winner. Number Ones are often the targets for acquisitions.Sales and gross profits disappear overnight with a bad press and stock prices falling, so maybe a song is not everything is as they say?

Companies play in the same area at all costs to stay competitive in the first place to reach, with bruises or employees to be creative and to play an empty field research. The similarities never end. Think Cirque du Soleil, which compete with lions and tigers until they decided to replace real animals by human animals. Withdirect competition in this field, success was assured.

Looking for new turf is a way for second place, but avoid anything on the admission of who you are and what you are doing pretty well, and try harder than other guys. It would certainly appeal to my sense of fair play and it has actually worked for Avis in local and global level, without losing their integrity along the way, with a win at all costs thinking. The trick, they are nowat that point number one in many areas, in order to convince their customers that are still trying harder than the next person.

So unless you are going to be number one, you better understand some of the strategies and develop a game plan (the last one I promise) that will give you great success, whatever your position at the end. Today more and more, is on how to finish, not where you are ready to give you that winning feeling ..

At least I have a memory of that home runto support me in my golden years. I could not imagine what it must have felt, as the third.
