If you've been paying attention to Major League Baseball for the past week, you may have noticed a less recognizable brand name in the National League Championship Series. The Milwaukee brewers, my hometown team and my former employer. Why do I say less recognizable? Because the Milwaukee brewers don't have the brand name nor the budget power other teams like the Yankees, the Dodgers or the Red Sox have. In fact, the Milwaukee brewers have one of the smaller payrolls in baseball. Yet here we are in October. They're one of four teams still playing, going up against three of the larger budgets, larger markets in baseball in Los Angeles, Boston and Houston. You see, the Milwaukee brewers are proving you can get great results on a smaller budget if you plug in the right strategies and the right people at the right time to create this winning formula that has them playing well into October. You see, big results don't require a big budget. If you plug in the right strategies at the right time, you will create a winning formula for your organization and your bottom line. Until next time, bear down, focus on the target and strike out the status quo.
