Casual Articles - What the Boston Red Sox taught me about Resiliency
Running an online casino is hard, you need a watchful eye on everyone inside your casino for there will always be people who would do anything to win games. If you let your guard down even for just a second you could loose thousands or even millions of dollars. Managing what goes on inside a real casino may be hard but running one online is a totally different story.The idea of running an online casino may be absurd to some due to the fact that there are people who can easily hack into the site. If this happens to you, then you can say goodbye to all your money. This is the main reason why online casinos are only offered high risk merchant accounts, as opposed to
How do you stare history in the face, and re-write it? Simple… you take it one game at a time.
To make a long story short, the Boston Red Sox won the next 3 games to tie the series and force a final game 7, where they beat the Yankees 8-3 in Yankee Stadium.
These self-proclaimed ‘idiots’ did it. They went on to win the last Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. It only took them 4 games, and they made the best team in baseball look foolish.
So how did this team re-write history? By looking at it as a problem, and working to solve it. Their problem was everything from a curse to 86 years of failure to the weight of a city on their shoulders.

Since ancient times women have been viewed, in many cultures, as men’s inferiors physically, morally, and intellectually. Today, in western cultures, women enjoy more freedom and equality than ever before in history. Despite the gains made by women in recent years, particularly in the U.S., many women worldwide still find that their access to education, employment, healthcare and political influence are limited because of their gender. These discrepancies continue to exist because many societies still maintain centuries-old social and religious laws, customs, and traditions that have created barriers to education, jobs, and healthcare, as well as deprive women of their p
You just have to ‘tap your caps’ to them.
No matter if you are a baseball fan or not; even if you love the team or can’t stand them… you have to marvel at how they did it.
My name is David Pynn; I’m the guy that helps people grow their businesses.
Amongst my coaching clients, conference calls and other obligations in October, I had to take some time and see them do it.
What you ask?
I had to see the self-proclaimed ‘idiots’ make baseball history.
For those reader’s not familiar with this story, let me fill you in.
The Boston Red Sox are a Major League Baseball team in North America. They have not won their Leagues Championship series (The World Series) since 1918.
Are you familiar with Babe Ruth?
He was once a player on the Boston Red Sox and was traded to their hated rivals… the New York Yankees. Some fans say a curse was born that day, as since that trade 86 years ago; the New York Yankees have won numerous titles and World Series victories. On the other hand, the Boston Red Sox have seen nothing but disaster.
But the faithful fans of Boston have held true to their team for decades. Some fans born and died without ever seeing their favourite team win a Championship… at least until this year.
The Major League Baseball playoffs are a month long event where a Champion is crowned. To win the World Series, a team must go through and defeat 3 different teams in a “best of” format.
Series One is a “best of 5” format, and Series two and the final series are “best of 7” formats.
The Red Sox won their first series against the Anaheim Angels. It went all 5 games, and was a great series. Unfortunately for Boston, the Yankees won their 1st series and advanced to play them in the 2nd Series.
Let me set this up for you…
The media was a frenzy, everything from Babe Ruth and the curse to years past with the Yankees winning over Boston was all people were talking about.
Some people say that this is the best rivalry in North American sport.
The best of 7 format went like this… Games 1 & 2, and games 6 & 7 were played in Yankee Stadium while Games 3 to 5 were played in Boston.
The Yankees went on to win the first 3 games of this series, and take a 3-0 lead in this best of 7 playoff. Game 2 made the record books as the final score was 19-8. It was the highest scoring game in Major League History.
The verdict was is… no team in Major League Baseball history has ever come back from a 3-0 series lead to win a playoff series. The Boston Red Sox were done. Another year of disappointment for the Boston faithful, and yet another year where they lost to the Yankees.
Most teams of men and women would have called it a season. Being down 3-0 in a best of 7 series brings out many emotions: frustration, disappointment and even a little anxiety.

American companies historically are driven to look at the bottom line. This is in contrast to German companies, which tend to focus on technology; or Japanese companies, which tend to focus on geography. While the bottom line focus does show a snapshot of company performance, it reveals nothing of what generated that final number OR what can be done to improve it. BUT we use it anyway to make many decisions, and we can be fooled by what it seems to be telling us.MORE THAN THE BOTTOM LINEHow’s that…you ask? Well, let’s get really simple. Why do people buy from us in the first place? It can be for a number of reasons, among them quality of the product

Every business stores items in boxes or drawers. Most businesses have a plethora of storage containers stacked on shelves and, perhaps seldom have to locate these stored items. But when an employee needs to locate one of the items in storage, can it be found quickly? After all, time is money.Usually, the employee stands in front of a stack of storage containers wondering, "What is in the storage container…or the one underneath?" Time is wasted pulling down containers only to find that the critical object is not in that container but in some other unidentified container. How can this problem be alleviated? It's simple, easy and affordable! A label printer can resol

Something we talk about consistently with our coaching students is the importance of the follow up letter. However, the follow up letter is not limited to those who are operating a lease purchase business. Whatever type of business you are operating, after speaking with a potential client you should be sending some type of follow up correspondence. It could be a letter, a post card, or in some instances an email.I can’t count the number of deals we have gotten from a follow up letter we sent. The longest time to go by before hearing from a seller was 14 months, but we did hear from them. Why, because I sent a follow up letter and included my business card in that

Motor vehicle crashes cost US employers over $60 billion annually in medical costs, legal expenditure, property damage, and lost productivity. While costs by state and Industry vary, on-the-job crash injuries (fatal and non-fatal) amount to about 6.5 percent of all crash injuries. As a result, the cost of workers’ compensation, Social Security benefits, health and disability insurance continues to rise. An investment in a comprehensive motor vehicle accident prevention program can be a winning approach to reducing these expenses and an effective tool for helping limit your company's liability exposure.Consider the Savings According to the National High
