What entrepreneurs can learn from the T20 World Cup"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Can defending champs Australia retain their title at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup<\/a>? Will the likes of Rohit Sharma<\/a>, Virat Kohli<\/a> and Team India live up to expectations? Could Sri Lanka overturn the odds and triumph?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answers to the above are far from clear at this stage, with the 2022 cricket world cup tournament’s end still some way away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, what’s certain is that the presence of international cricket’s best and brightest stars at the tournament in Australia from 16 October to 13 November guarantees players, fans and even casual observers three things: excitement, surprises and inspirational moments aplenty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the best part is you don’t have to be a cricket enthusiast to appreciate everything. Indeed, here are a few lessons \u2014 both from the World Cup and T20 cricket in general \u2014 to inspire entrepreneurs and business owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always lead from the front<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No one wins alone in cricket. Yet, it can’t be denied that a team’s captain is crucial to a side’s suc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A captain strategises, decides on players’ field positions and manages bowlers. And in the shorter, 20-over version of cricket, every single decision matters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why the World Cup record books<\/a> are packed with many positive results that have been down to the able leadership of captains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, in direct selling, business owners and entrepreneurs who lead by example and manage efficiently<\/a> can help ensure success for their teams and networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tackle your problems head-on <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

\"Cricket<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In contrast to longer forms of the game, there’s no time in T20 cricket for teams to wallow following a bad over or innings. Rather, players must always be ready to face up to issues and react promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Australia\u2019s experience at the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Pakistan rampant and bossing things, an Aussie defeat seemed, to all and sundry, the surest outcome. Yet, the latter’s batsmen chose to not dwell on mistakes that had been made. Instead, they assessed the situation, focussed, and turned the game on its head<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, playing through problems may not always result in success. Nevertheless, what’s certain is that getting back up<\/a> and courageously facing issues helps entrepreneurs and their businesses grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adaptability wins the race<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the early years, when T20 was just gaining popularity, certain well-established sides and players viewed it with a measure of disdain<\/a> and believed that the game could be approached and played<\/a> in the same way as longer forms of cricket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, what’s been plainly obvious since the first World Cup in 2007 is that rigidity reaps no rewards. Instead, to succeed, one needs to be agile and adaptable<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
