But his words and practices about what it takes to win don’t just apply to the basketball court; they apply to all areas of life – especially entrepreneurship.
Even though Coach Wooden was known for his simple and old school approach to practice and playing, the results speak for themselves.
This man knew how to win.
Below are 10 quotes from John Wooden. I believe his words still have as much relevance in our digital world today as they did when he first spoke them.
1. “Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”
There’s always going to be something “extra” that can enhance your business or potentially boost sales.
Maybe it’s a new technology platform or a social media strategy. Whatever it is, I think Coach Wooden would encourage us to strive for those things, but don’t let them become an excuse for not doing our best with what we already have.
2. “If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.”
I think one of the biggest reasons why seasoned entrepreneurs stop innovating and taking risks is because they’re afraid of ruining a “winning streak.”
Nothing is for certain in the world of innovation. You’ve got to remember that out of every failed innovation comes unexpected knowledge that sends us in a new direction or reveals something we would have never known.
3. “It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.”
Once you realize the truth behind, “Little things make big things happen,” you’ll never again view the details of your business as boring or insignificant – especially when it comes to marketing.
Consumers don’t become loyal brand buyers by accident. It takes strategic planning and execution to cut through the estimated 3,000 marketing messages the average American sees each day.
Every picture, every image and every email within your marketing has a job to do.
