I was saddened to hear of the passing of John Wooden, the legendary former basketball coach at UCLA. As great a coach that he was, he was an even greater person.
Many of the things he believed in can be integrated to business philosophy and also web site strategies. For example, here are a couple of his statements that I especially like:
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." In business and with our web sites, we should constantly be innovating something in order to improve. Those who stand still and never want to leave their comfort zone will eventually fall behind their competitors and potentially never catch up. What can you be doing today to improve your web site or your business model?
"The little details are vital. Little things make big things happen." Don't ever underestimate the little things in your business. We are judged by our peers and our clients/prospects every day in ways that we may not ever be fully aware. That's why it is critical that we pay attention to the tiniest of details. My friend Gary Smith recently said, "Do what you say you're going to do." Meaning that when you make a promise, in business or in your personal life, live up to your word.
Have a great 'rest of the month' and I look forward to publishing again next month. If there are any specific topics related to the web or social media that you'd like for me to discuss, please let me know.
I, along with my wife and two friends, rode nearly 70 miles in a charity bike race on June 5th to help fund research to find a cure for Diabetes. Thanks to all of you who provided donations and/or encouragement for bicycling in this event.
