Managing Your Business: NFL Style

I always like when someone uses something like football to describe the process of running a business. Certainly I love the use of catch phrases and people who use sayings every time they talk like coaches do. "We have to play a full 60 minutes", "We need to pound the rock", "That guy has a motor", etc. Nothing better than phrases you can use in everyday life to show that you don't like to actually think of things yourself.

If you watch the NFL you may not see it all the time, but the game is a manager's dream. The process of the vbuilding and running a football team is much like a business. This guy talks about how the NFL mirrors a business, or at least lessons you can learn about simple business concepts by seeing it in the NFL.

Whether you produce ball lock pins, or you are a financial advisor, seeing things in simplistic terms like he says is kind of important. Only a businessman could think of business all the time when they watch sports. Surely, his mind works that way and many of ours do too. Seeing opportunity, or seeing how to prevent loss in business in other aspects of life is somethng that we should notice in everyday life.
