如同教練運動比賽一般，做好為艱難商業的準備

在做運動教練時，會訓練球隊如何應付各種現實的比賽場景，例如將球淋濕來模擬下雨天的比賽。

你可以用類似的思考來準備應付各種艱難的商業挑戰。例如，你可以請同事扮演客戶的角色，問你各種可能的問題。或是，你可以假設客戶遲到了，你只有很短的時間向客戶報告你的建議方案。你可以做各種現實商業上可能出現的狀況的模擬，包含必須在嘈雜的咖啡店做報告，或是身處非常激烈爭吵的會議室。

做好面對現實世界的挑戰準備，或讓你有更高的成功機會

Prepare for tough business, like coach sport games

When you coach, you train your team how to handle a variety of real game scenarios, such as getting the ball wet to simulate a rainy day.

 You can use similar thinking to prepare yourself for tough business challenges. For example, you can ask colleagues to play the role of client and ask you a variety of possible questions. Or you can assume that your client is late and you have only a short time to report your proposal to the client. You can do all sorts of real-world business simulations, including having to do a presentation in a noisy coffee shop or in a very contentious conference room. 

Be prepared for real-world challenges or give you a higher chance of success.
