The business-savvy Colts

I don't think there is a football fan in the country who hasn't weighed in on whether the Indianapolis Colts were right to "let the Jets win" by sitting Manning, Wayne, Freeney, Mathis and most of the other starters 4 weeks ago. Was management crazy to give up a perfect season? Did they just not care about the team? Or the fans? Through all this hoopla, we didn't hear much from Colts management. And now, after winning 30-17 against Jets this time, they're going to the Super Bowl.

This made me think about the sport in a business perspective - after all, we all know professional sports is BIG business! We, as inventory services business owners, make small and large decisions every day. Each decision is paving the road to where we see ourselves tomorrow and also years from now. We often give up one thing in an effort to achieve another.

And so did the Colts. We've learned from our business coach, J.Sewell Perkins, that we must know what we want, and not let others put doubts in our minds. We've learned to have confidence in our decisions, stick to them, and keep the desired end result in mind - no matter who or how many think we are nuts!

The Colts showed that their business-savvy decision-making skills are top-notch. They exemplify what JS has told us many times ...  no matter how many think you are wrong, if you know you're on the road to your Super Bowl (whatever that may be), stay on track and you will get there.
