# Do More Than Watch

You have two choices in business and in life:

1. Be a spectator and hope you're entertained.
2. Compete and run the risk of getting bloodied along the way to making your own destiny.

A hard rain is upon us. Our nation is under attack. Families are under attack. Businesses are under attack.

In light of this, I'm amazed at:

1. How much energy people put into watching sports.
2. How much money people put into watching sports.
3. How little energy people put into learning their faith.
4. How little money people put into supporting their faith.
5. How little energy people put into improving their job skills.
6. How little money people put into improving their job skills.

If everyone who painted themselves blue and green and purple and gold and screamed and yelled and tailgated and road-tripped for hours and days at a time on a weekly and even daily basis put just 15.7% of that energy and money into their faith and their jobs and their personal development, how much stronger would our nation be?

The hard rain will continue. What holes in your roof have these rains exposed? How will you respond to those holes?

1. Watch and scream and [hope](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/blog/hopium-not-best-inbound-sales-tips) for the best?
2. Compete and run the risk of getting bloodied along the way to making your own destiny?

Noah survived the rains just fine by learning a new skill and applying a lot of focused effort ahead of the storm.

Do More Than Watch

 Market like you mean it. Now go sell something.
