Success Tip: George Patton Strategy
Walt Cameron Comments Off on Success Tip: George Patton StrategyFiled under: Success Tips, Videos
I mentioned General George Patton, the greatest armored tank General in WWII, who once said, “A good plan violently executed NOW is better than a perfect plan executed next week.”
Did you know that Patton competed in the first Pentathlon in the 1912 summer Olympics,
finishing 5th overall and 3rd in fencing.
After the Olympics, Patton studied with the greatest swordsman in Europe because he wanted to be the best swordsman he could possibly be!
This training resulted in Patton becoming the US Army’s youngest ever “Master of the Sword”, the Army’s best swordsman!
Unfortunately, for Patton, the nature of war soon changed, making saber cavalry units obsolete. But Patton didn’t get upset and resign his commission, he embraced the change by adapting his infamous “move forward and attack” saber techniques for use with the Army’s new armored (tank) combat units. He used these techniques to win key battles against the German Panzer Tank Divisions and help American win WWII!
Now, the question you are probably asking is, how can I apply these lessons that General Patton learned to my own business?
The first is pretty obvious , TAKE ACTION! Don’t sit around analyzing things to death. I call this “mental paralysis “. Get your product or service develop and finished. Then start marketing it! You can always make improvements based upon your customer feedback.
Second, you need to LEARN FROM THE BEST! Find out who is implementing a successful strategy you would like to duplicate, then learn everything you can about what they are doing and how they are doing it!
Third, you must learn to ADAPT! Every business is certainly different. However, you can adapt and implement what you learned to your own business and improve it!
As fellow Entrepreneurs and as part of any path you are following to achieve your American Dream, you need to “Take Action”, ”Learn From the Best” and be able to “Adapt” what you learned!
The rest is up to you!
The only question you have to ask yourself is this, are you ready to create your own story of success in achieving your dream?
Well then, make a decision right now to be a part of pursuing your dream!
Maybe it’s the one you’ve put on hold for way too long, maybe now is the time to make your move.
Become informed! Get involved! You cqan make a difference to others, your family and yourself!
And once you decide to step on that path toward your dream, never, ever give up, no matter what obstacle or challenge gets in your way!
Live your American Dream! And I want to help you make that happen.
