Hit me with your best shot

Hit me with your best shot

This popular song was recorded by Pat Benetar in 1979. 

The song reached #9 on the top 100.  It was, in many ways, sultry, yet up beat and gutsy.

I always found the song to be motivational.  The beat as well as the words hyped me up before a performance.

Yes, I have listened to the lyrics and know what the song is about.  However, I want to focus on the chorus of the song.

My question is…..are you hitting them with your best shot?  Are you giving your all.  Are you leaving it all on the field (as they say).

If you are in sales, are you hitting them with your best shot?

If you are self employed are you hitting your customers with your best shot?

If you are employed by someone else are you giving them your “all” while you are on the clock?

Hitting them with your best shot is, quite simply, giving your all.  Doing 100% of your of very best.  Are you striving to be the best you that you can possibly be?

One good way to answer that question, if you are in sales, is to honestly ask yourself  - would I buy from me.

If you are self employed, you may want to tweak that question and ask yourself – would I not only buy that from me, but would I become a long term customer AND refer other customers to me?


If you are employed by someone, you may want to adjust the question a little, asking – would I buy that product or service if I knew the work ethic of the employees?

Imagine what this world would be like, if everyone “hit them with their best shot.”  The U.S. would be the leader in many fields and industries.  Foreign countries would have to peddle fast to keep pace with American technology, creativity, work ethic and products.

Go ahead, try it – “Hit ‘em with your best shot and fire away.” 

Have a great week
