Keeping score is sweating the small stuff. When you keep score, you spend a lot of time focusing on minor things that don’t really matter. Who cares that I gave my friends fruit snacks on any given day? By thinking about these insignificant details, you distract yourself from all the good things about your relationships. 

In sports, no one can argue with the scoreboard. The scoreboard tells us who is winning. The scoreboard tells us the story. The scoreboard tells us the truth. The scoreboard doesn’t lie.

Just as we keep score in sports, we should also keep score in business and in life.

Why is it important to keep score? So that when this lying voice tries to deceive and discourage us, we can look at our ‘scoreboard’ and remind ourselves of the truth. We can tell that voice to shut up and get lost, because we know the real story. We can stay encouraged, motivated, and focused, because we know that we’re on the right path and making progress.

But what now? Join Mark & Isaiah as they discuss how they keep score on a daily basis to ensure their goals are met.
