When I want to be the best I can be, I look to how those rise to the top in Darwinian industries - sports, entertainment, the the C-suite. I've put together 7 lessons that fractional executives can learn from the NFL: 1. Repetition is key to improvement. Treat every interaction as a learning opportunity and reflect on what you've learned. 2. Practice before you play. Implement a rigorous process to find the right people to practice on before going after your ICPs. 3. Measure your performance and take responsibility for your results. 4. Focus on becoming an expert in your area of specialization. 5. Strategic game planning is crucial. Take the time to research and create unique engagement plans for each prospect. 6. Build a team of coaches and experts to help you succeed. 7. Develop resilience and mental toughness to overcome challenges and reach your full potential.
