Poker, Unpredictability, and Going on Tilt
I had an interesting experience tonight playing Texas Hold'em Poker. Despite having virtually no poker experience, I ended up winning a decent-sized pot. The morals of the story:
Lesson #5: Think Of It As A Game Of Poker
“You know, in life you always have to give yourself some sort of challenge,” says Laliberté, “and for me the game of poker, because of the mathematics, the personality aspect of it, I feel very comfortable in it. It's a great experience.”
Poker – a Metaphor for Business
Poker – a Metaphor for Business One of my sins (if you can call it that) is to play online poker. Not a great stakes player I hasten to add; I tend to play in tournaments with $5 to $10 entry fees. Actually I am quite good at that level and have made a small profit from my forays. But interestingly enough Poker has something to say about business that is worth repeating.

Extending your Expectations
Earlier this week, I had a lengthy conversation with the head coach of a major college basketball team. We were discussing the recent NCAA tournament, better known as The Big Dance or March Madness. My friend, as a player, assistant coach, and now a head coach, has been to the tournament many times. There are 65 teams that make it to the tournament. Some get there by winning their conference while others are invited due to their national ranking, difficulty of schedule, or strength of their program.

Lesson #3: “Table selection is the most important decision you can make”

Looking Beyond the Short-Termers
The search for life lesson’s goes beyond the boundaries of a specific discipline, expertise or interest. Few would argue that, in recent years, the world of business and sports have operated less like Mars and Venus, separate but equal, and more like Twin Peaks, separate, but connected by a common base. The most recent NCAA basketball tournament has been a bizarre display of predictions gone wild. Yet, what has been interesting has been some of the surrounding dialogue that pertains to building blocks, teamwork, consistency and the ultimate prize. In doing so, the NCAA basketball tournament has provided some unique insights that have a direct bearing on how a business can achieve consistent success.
You Are Not Your Performance
We live in a totally results-driven society. You are only deemed to be as good as your most recent victory. This has set up a consistent state of low self-esteem for many people. Recently, I enjoyed the NCAA National Championship Basketball Tournament. For months, every team in the country has a goal of making it to the tournament. Then, at the end of the season, 64 teams are selected from various parts of the country. As the tournament progresses, teams are eliminated one-by-one until, at the end of the season, the team remaining is named the national champion.

What Is Personal Branding And How Do you Do It?
About two years ago, I asked a question. What is personal branding? I was first introduced to the term by my mentor, Michael Force. The first thing that came to my mind was a fire and a poker. Not something I want to do to myself and I don’t think I would let somebody else do it to me either. Now that I have a better understanding of what it is, I want to share with all of you the same things, I came to learn.
