Banking is built on the fundamentals in a way that few other businesses are. Typically, you need to understand the nuances of the industry IN DETAIL if you want to have a great business. Not in banking. In banking, you just have to be committed to executing the fundamentals. Sure, other things will come up that need to be addressed, But that’s a small part of the job.
Stay focused on the core fundamentals of the business.
Aim for the easy base hits – Be consistency.
Sometimes you’ll hit a double, triple, or even a homerun…
But it’s consistency with the singles that builds a great bank.
