Try to Hit a Single Every Day
Today, I want to use an analogy from the world of baseball to help us understand the value of putting in the work every day.
One of the greatest reputations you can acquire as a baseball player is that of a home run hitter. Everybody loves the player who can reliably step up to the plate, crack the bat, and send the baseball flying into the stands.
I was curious about how many major league baseball hits were singles, doubles, triples, and home runs. I came across a nifty graphic from a baseball stats website. It shows the distribution, by decade, of the four types of hits over the history of baseball.
The distribution of these hits has changed over the decades, but one fact is absolutely clear: Most hits are singles.
On today’s episode, you’ll be encouraged that the way you achieve writing success is through the small, daily victories.
