Hey everyone, thanks for tuning in to the podcast. If you’re a basketball trainer, I hope you find some valuable insights here.
SN: If you’re watching online, don’t mind the Disney shirt—I’m recording all at once, so yes, it’s the same shirt from Monday. I’m really fascinated by Disney from a business perspective because they generate $60 billion a year and their stories resonate with both kids and adults. But today, I’m not here to talk about Disney.
Instead, I want to share something unorthodox: my interest in ants. I was observing ants recently and reflecting on Proverbs 6:6-8, which teaches about diligence and preparation. Ants work tirelessly without a boss, stockpiling food for winter. This proverb reminds us to adopt good habits now to avoid laziness and prepare for tougher times ahead.
I see a parallel between ants and us. Like ants, we can achieve much more together than alone. This is why I’m keen on finding another basketball training partner with flexible hours—it’s like the difference between hunting rabbits and deer. Together, we can accomplish more and handle greater challenges. Preparing now, during the summer, by working hard and smart, ensures we can be at peace during the slower winter months.
I’ve learned that having a strong work ethic and smart strategies is key. Bill Gates once said that lazy people find the most efficient ways to do things, but that’s not my approach. I believe in working hard first to work smart later.
So, let’s build good habits now and be as focused and diligent as an ant colony. This idea also comes from an interesting article by Andrew Exposito on LinkedIn.
Let’s learn from the ants and have a productive day! Talk to you next time!
