About this Quote

This quote by Fran Tarkenton talks to the importance of taking things one step at a time in order to accomplish success. In football, a group can not win the video game by concentrating on the final rating. Instead, they need to focus on each individual play and execute it to the best of their ability. This exact same principle can be applied to company. Success is not attained overnight, but rather through a series of small steps. Each step must be taken with care and accuracy in order to make sure that the end objective is attained. By taking things one play at a time, a service can gradually however undoubtedly build up to success. This quote works as a reminder that success is not achieved through shortcuts, but rather through effort and devotion.
