Go to the Plate and Swing the Bat
Yesterday, we talked about the value of hitting singles. The main idea was this: if you focus on getting small wins every day, you will eventually win the game.
Let’s look at this from another perspective. Recently, I was doing a little 90’s musical reminiscing and listening to the Backstreet Boys (Don’t judge me). It dawned on me that I only knew a couple of their songs.
That got me thinking… they’ve only had a few big hits over the years, even though they’ve been making music since the mid-90’s. With nine studio albums, that’s not a great batting average.
But it’s the same story for almost every musical artist. On average, a full-length album might only have 1-2 “hits.”
On today’s episode, Kent shares insight from the baseball and music industries to illustrate why it’s vital for you to keep showing up and putting in the work.
