3 Lessons from the World Series

The Yankes win in 6. Over the course of the 6-game play-off for the worldly title, there was speculation, surprises, heroics, and everything else expected from a competition between the two "best" teams in baseball. And as the season comes to a close, The Dadson Diaries offers some takeaways for our readers beyond the "Yankees: World Series Champions" swag available for purchase. So, without further ado, here are 3 lessons we can take away from this year's World Series.

1. Superstars come in all shapes and sizes.
Cliff Lee. Mariano Rivera. Chase Utley. Hideki Matsui. Superstardom doesn't rely on a list of predetermined constructs. Do what you do best and take care to do it well. You may not garner national media exposure like these big leaguers, but people (your customers, your peers, your boss) will notice your efforts.

2. You're not out until the last out.
The Phillies could have gone down in Game 5, but they fought to bring on Game 6. Even when the odds are stacked against you, don't pack it in and head home. Inspiration can strike at any time and help propel you past that hurdle.

3. Fans, not just customers, are what to aim for.
Customers may come buy your product, but fans are the ones not only buying your products but also loving you unconditionally and spreading the word about you every day.
