- Go to where the fish are.
- Different fish like different bait.
- You need to be patient to catch fish.
- Shh, you'll scare the fish.
- There are lots of lures in your tackle-box.
- You have to clean your own fish.
- You need to be prepared with a container to take fish home in.
I will let you attach meaning to these analogies. [I might just make a series out of this.]

Hey, Ken,
What a cool idea! After reminiscing about fishing with my dad on Sunday mornings, I thought of a few lessons from my own fishing experience (and my take on their business relevance).
- Be ready to watch someone else’s line (business analogy: step up to do what needs to done, not just what's on your plate)
- Sometimes you have to cut your line (business analogy: don't let getting to enamored of something cause you to loose sight of the big picture)
- Live bait really works better than lures (business analogy: be active, not passive)
- Go early when the fish are biting (business analogy: you have to make it easy for your customers)
- Read the fishing report (business analogy: do your homework to understand your changing market)
Cheers,
Jim
Thanks Jim,
I like your additions. This concept feels like it will work with so many fields.
