The difference between success and mediocrity in football and business often lies in the mindset.
Those who play not to lose versus those who play to winโI’ve seen this play out in several fixtures at Elland Road this season!
Some teams adopt an overly cautious approach, focusing solely on defending and avoiding mistakes, while others embrace a proactive strategy aimed at seizing opportunities and achieving victory.
Teams playing not to lose typically demonstrate a fixed mindset. They retreat into their defensive third, rarely venture forward, and prioritize safety over opportunity.
This defensive approach mirrors many businesses that remain in their comfort zones, avoiding risks and innovation, ultimately limiting their potential for growth and success.
Conversely, teams that play to win exhibit a growth mindset that translates well into business strategy.
They maintain defensive stability while actively seeking scoring opportunities, much like successful businesses that balance risk management with innovation and expansion.

The choice between playing to win or not to lose defines your potential for success.
Consider your approach:
Are you embracing calculated risks and pursuing growth, or are you letting fear of failure hold you back from achieving your true potential?
