When do you know you are winning?

We can learn a lot from NCAA’s March Madness. Whether you love basketball or old fashion competition, most people can appreciate March Madness. Let’s look at the similarities to business. NCAA tournament starts with 68 teams. A lot of teams/competition. Some teams are power houses with a chip on their shoulders. Some are underdogs and are hungry for any win they can get. Watch out for these guys.

What's your score?  Are you winning or losing?

Some teams have a history or reputation that gives them an advantage in ranking, but they still have to win the games. Isn’t this true with some companies? Each game starts 0-0 with 40 minutes to play. Everyone knows the rules. Everyone knows the score each second of the game. This includes the players as well the spectators.


Knowing the score brings a special intensity for everyone.
     Intensity brings Motivation.
     Motivation brings Achievement.
     Achievement brings Wins.
     Wins brings happy people.

Let me ask you a few questions:
     Do you know if you are winning or losing?
     How frequent is your scoreboard updated?
     Does your team know if you are winning or losing?
     Would your decisions change according to the score?
     Do you celebrate the Win?


We all start with a budget that has us winning in the end, but at what point do you know you are winning?
