You just never know when you'll need to put into practice lessons you've learned, whether in business or simply out for a hike.
Last week one of my hiking buddies had an encounter with not one but two mountain lions!
Fortunately, his outcome was much better than this deer's.
You'd have to know Warren to appreciate and imagine what the encounter must have been like, and to understand why this is one of the highlights of his 89 years.
He recounts that when he and the second lion had a standoff, his training about what to do in such a situation kicked in; he acted and the lion walked off.
This gut reaction of putting into practice what one has learned makes me think of the hours my business buddies and I would role play different buyer/seller objections. One day I found myself saying the exact words that we had practiced.
Being prepared--good in business and in life.
