Today I thought about a new way of framing what I am doing or going to do.

In the previous post, I mentioned that thinking about launching my business “just like lifting weights”, helped me put things into perspective.

It helped me understand that, if I could put in the work, I could make progress day after day.

Just like the more I trained, the heavier weights I could lift.

Today I thought about shooting at basketball as a new way of framing doing something new.

If you have never played basketball before, you are very likely to shoot an airball.

This is likely to be the case for your first 50-100 shots.

Maybe you are too weak and don’t have the strength to push the ball all the way up to the basket.

Maybe you need to improve your aim.

Maybe you could work on your legs, to help you with the push.

Maybe it’s the way you hold the ball.

Whatever the reason, you can work on it and make progress.

If you have never played basketball before, your first 50-100 shots will be airballs.

If you are lucky, maybe you could through one in.

If you work on your arm strength, aim, legs and ball-holding, you will make progress.

Eventually, you will make 5 out of 100 shots.

Then you will make 10, then 20, then 50, until you will get close to 100% or maybe you can even reach it.

The more you train, the more you are likely to throw the ball into the basket.

The more you shoot, the more points you will make.
