And a flat economy is more like a couch potato— all his go- gettum’s gone. What makes the difference? Part of the answer can be found in listing the physical char acteristics of high level athletic performance and restating them in terms of an economy. For example: Strength — Provides jobs for everybody, living wage incomes, and profits for growth. Also, the ability to produce successful people. Quickness - To get start-ups going without undue delays and to respond in a timely manner to changing conditions. Speed — Ability to set and achieve a fast paced business environment. E nduran ce — A b ility to weather financial storms and setbacks. Agility — Ability to react to changing market conditions; to change focus and direction with precision. Flexibility — Bend, not break; adapt and adjust without sacri ficing principles for gains. Balance — Stability; ability to meet a variety of business, em ployee and societal needs. Recovery — To regroup and reco v er from blip s in the economy and natural disasters. Goal Setting - Athletes and coaches do it, and people in the economy need to do it. If you don’t know where you want to get to, it’s difficult to chart a course. Planning, Organizing, Staff ing, Directing, and Controlling — Som ebody has to do it, whether for an individual, a fam ily, or a business. Perseverance - A bility to “•keep on keeping on” when the going gets tough. The go-getter economy or athlete has all of the character istics listed above— and usually more. The weekend warrior is missing one or some. The couch potato isn’t even in the game. There is an old saying that you don’t win the derby with a donkey. How does that apply to an economy? A lot of components must be b ro u gh t to a race or an economy. Make sure the im I p o rtan t ones are dealt w ith properly and the horse or the economy may well thrive. Omit or ignore any of them and the horse won’t even get out of the gate or the wheels will come off. W hat a thought— a horse with wheels— or an economy without. After the race, a young up- and-comer is a bit envious and a whole lot respectful of the w inner. The young horse is smart enough to ask the cham pion what are the secrets to his success. The older horse very matter- of-facdy says, “Yuh gotta want it bad enough to train right and work your tail off—and, I’m not done beating yuh.” That pretty well sums it up: Set goals, work smart, and work hard. Time and good fortune will usually take care of the rest. 1
