There are similarities when it comes to achieving success in the worlds of business and sports. Both require hard work, good planning, teamwork, and innovative thinking. Unfortunately, for owners and managers of HVACR businesses, the world of sports offers something that is often lacking in the business world: The ultimate goal of a championship.
Having a yearly goal of winning a championship is a great motivator. In the spring, for example, every baseball team is full of hope and promise. Although the players face a grind of playing almost every day, their tedious efforts are eased by the promise of an opportunity to make the playoffs and, ultimately, play in the World Series. Meanwhile, with no goal comparable to a World Series, on those same spring days, technicians and support staff at HVAC companies may simply see each summer day as drudgery, filled with long hours and hot work.
