You win some and you’ll lose a lot before “hitting a grand slam” that’s how the game is played.

You’re right, we’re not going to strike a homerun with each marketing idea or campaign we come up with, but each time, we come closer to knowing what we should do–and every once in a while, we do hit a home run.

It reminds me of the Disney movie “Meet the Robinsons” where the motto was “Keep moving forward.” It suggests that we keep going, keep trying, keep failing, and keep moving forward.

Thanks for the post.
