Lamendola So often, we work very hard and get no further ahead. We even work smart, and get no further ahead. Our normal response is to keep doing more of what's not working! So, how do you get out of this rut? The answer is to step back and see if you are doing the right things--not just doing things right. Here's an example. Suppose you wanted to be a top-notch attorney. So, you take classes, study very hard, practice incessantly, aim for perfection, hire a personal tutor, and spend every free moment learning all you can. About dancing. No matter how much effort you put into this, you will be no better an attorney than when you started. This is, unfortunately, the strategy most of us use in most endeavors. We see it in dieting, all the time. Right now, the big thing is the low-carb craze. It is not an effective strategy--it's the wrong thing to do. But, people are doing it anyhow. The cost to using the wrong strategies is immense. It includes the cost of never reaching your goals. One way to overcome this is to subscribe to the Mindconnection eNL. This respected publication provides hard-hitting tips on how to magnify your brainpower, protect your financial future, and overcome the brainwashing that holds so many people back without their even realizing it. Another way to overcome this is to become a regular at your local library. The books, tapes, videos, and other resources will help you gain new understanding from which you can build effective strategies for nearly any endeavor.
We also came upon a book that can help you with strategy formation. While it's really geared toward people who manage teams, the lessons contained therein can apply to nearly anybody. |
