Hunting Antelope: How to Focus on What Truly Matters

from Win More, Live Better · host Zach Brandon

As human beings, we can be busy all day and still make no progress. This episode will show you why and how to fix it. Using the antelope vs. field mice metaphor (inspired from a quote by Newt Gingrich), I’ll share why so many leaders, coaches, and athletes spend their best energy on the wrong things. We'll also discuss the 80/20 rule and share how former NFL star, JJ Watt, used a mental framework for spending more time on what matters most. By the end, you’ll have a simple test to know whether you’re chasing mice or hunting antelope each day.For more practical tools and mindset stories like this, you can subscribe to my free newsletter here: https://winningwithwords.beehiiv.com/If you’re a coach or leader striving for more clarity, consistency, and fulfillment, feel free to reach out anytime to see how I can best serve you: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zach-brandon-40169573/
