There are two and only two types of strategy…offense and defense.
Offensive strategy exists to consistently advance your position, to score goals, to put points on the board…to win.
Offensive strategy is proactive…it means playing to win.
Defensive strategy exists to hold ground, to prevent the offense or opposition from scoring.
Defensive strategy is reactive…it means playing not to lose.
Without apology or sugarcoating…far too many people spend the majority of their lives deploying the wrong strategy.
They choose to play defense.
They choose to procrastinate and resist change.
They choose to be uncommitted.
They choose to lower their standards.
They choose to settle for less.
They choose to live a life of starting and stopping...
