What can finite games like sports teach us about business?
A game (say a football game) has a winner and a loser. It’s finite. Meaning “having bounds or limits” as defined by Dictionary.com.
Even if we drag the game out over an entire season, it’s still finite. One team wins. Other teams lose.
But if an individual (playing, coaching, or watching) allows oneself to take lessons from the finite game and apply to say their self-development, well then that individual is playing an infinite game.
Enjoy the present moment of the game, but allow that moment (that game) to apply to the infinite.
In other words, don’t get stuck in the finite.
This is a big reason why SportsEpreneur exists: finite games provide lessons to the infinite.
