If You’re Afraid to Lose, You’re Not Going to Win
Or, put another way, confidence is everything.
WARNING: Stream of consciousness writing to follow. Like that’s anything new, but consider yourself warned…
How many times have you seen this happen: Two (or more) people are competing for the same job. On paper, both are equally qualified. In person, however, one comes off as timid – afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing, while the other maintains a certain confidence. Who gets the job?
Same goes for the agency environment. An agency who is afraid to take some sort of action for fear that they might make a mistake is just as timid as the job candidate above. And it shows. A recent tweet from rizen creative sums it up nicely:
While the concept is not new, it’s worth repeating from time to time: If you’re playing not to lose, you’ll lose more often than you win. Letting fear stand in your way of doing something is no excuse for doing nothing.
Going Quiet
Apologies in advance for what I’m sure will be infrequent updates over the next couple of weeks. My attention will be focused elsewhere, and the Idaho Ad Agencies blog may see a lull in activity as a result.
We’ll return to our regularly scheduled programming before too long.
Events
It would seem that there is nothing going on these days, but certainly that can’t be the case can it?
Do you have an upcoming event that readers of the Idaho Ad Agencies blog should be aware of?
Let us know, and if it’s a good fit we’ll get your event on the calendar.
