Drop your pants and strike the tiger

Drop your pants and strike the tiger, don’t worry about your life or saving face

This is a wonderful saying from Sichuan in China about the need to be brave.


When you drop your pants not only are you fully exposed, but with your pants around your ankles you can’t run away.

We all build false assumptions in our own minds about business.
  • You may think your competitors are too strong.
  • You may be afraid to take on the big players in your business.
  • You may be afraid to disagree with clients
  • You may be afraid to approach a customer in case you are rejected.
  • You may be afraid of taking on debt, or more debt.
  • You may not trust your work to anyone else.


Whatever it is you are afraid of, sometimes you need to challenge your own assumptions – time to go strike that tiger.
