Winners Give Up Closing Shop Before The Day Is Done.

What’s the difference between a dreamer and a doer? Between a rock star and the “wanna be” who remains undiscovered? What’s the difference between the most brilliant of thinkers, with the best ideas, plans and designs and the wealthiest of business people? between a “used car” sales man and a great sales professional?
Just one more call….An old school sales manger named Bob White said this to me at very young age….just ONE more call a day that makes all the difference.
Dial the phone ONE more time. Send out ONE more resume. Answer one more complaint. Practice one more chord. Help one more customer after closing time.
Crunch it out one more time. One more pass, one more chapter.
Just one more.
Crash Davis said it best to Ebby Calvin Laloosh in Bull Durham.
You know what the difference is between hitting .250 and hitting .300? I got it figured out.

Twenty-five hits a year in 500 at bats is 50 points. Okay? There's 6 months in a season, that's about 25 weeks--you get one extra flare a week--just one--a gork, a ground ball with eyes, a dying quail--just one more dying quail a week and you're in Yankee Stadium!

Winners don’t close up shop for the day until they have done, one more…and then maybe “one more” again.
