How to hit a home run

How to hit a home run

I write weekly about the strategies, habits, and tactics around cultivating the connections that matter to you. BTW - have you signed up for my new course? It’s free for you.

“How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball... The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I've got.” - Babe Ruth

All too often when you’re reaching out to someone, we’re so obsessed with what might happen after the message is sent.

I constantly witness people frozen in the fear of reaching out. What if I’m too salesy? I hear that one at least three times a week. What if they don’t respond? What if, what if, what if. I do the same. Better not talk to them at all than face what might happen if.

Why? To know why and to learn the alternative, read the full post on The Sphere.

Great advice. In the past month, my colleagues have seen me switch from "let's schedule a time to call them" to "let's call them right now." I catch myself off guard even--but it gets done. No more wasted mental bandwith.

Spot on, Zvi! It's all about taking that swing and not overthinking it. Effort over outcome any day. Thanks for the reminder!

100%. Human outreach is better than the conversation you're having in your head. More productive and likely more enjoyable.

What great advice Zvi! Stop stressing about the ‘what if’s’ and start swinging!
