Game Plan = Winning Business

Let’s start by asking, What is a Game Plan? For those of you who watched Super Bowl LV on February 7, 2021, would have seen a good solid plan that was well executed which resulted in the ultimate win in football. That is a game plan.  Taking a strategy and commit to executing to achieve a goal.  The NEW Super Bowl Champions, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, analyzed both the offense and defense of their opponent and put the right strategies and tactics together to execute. The strategy of the defense was to put pressure on the opponent and not to let them score a touchdown.  The strategy of the offense, protect the line to give the quarterback options, to run the ball, or to pass. Every Coach and every player knew their role on every single play of the game.  The Super Bowl Champions followed the game plan and if there were a moment where the plan did not go their way, sure enough, they had a plan, play hard until the whistle blows, stay on your man. The result – the Ultimate WIN!
