Play Long Ball

One of the sayings of my business partner is to play long ball. Make decisions that are good for the long term, not the short term.

This doesn’t mean that you don’t make decisions about processes or issues that need to be dealt with today. Or that you focus on long term planning only. Or even that you don’t tackle some project because it’s a short term fix.

It means being aware that your business is a long term venture and you want to make decisions that will improve the business in the long term, not the short term.
