Are You in Danger of Becoming a Dinosaur in Today's Competitive World
The Secret to a Thriving Business and a Great Personal Life
Read any newspaper, listen to any news audio or TV
broadcasts these days and you will be blasted with the news
of recession and economic "doom and gloom". I hope that you
aren't buying completely into this depressing and
disempowering story.
As the famous commentator, Paul Harvey used to say, "Here's
the rest of the story." Yes, by all means, we do need to be
willing to take a look at the "reality" and take
responsibility for where we are. In fact, this is the 1st
step to take if you want to design a bigger dream for
yourself.
Here's the distinction though. Do a reality check and make
notes on the black and white facts of your business (and
perhaps personal life, too). Face your own "inconvenient
truths' straight on AND do so with the "rock solid"
knowledge that there are new possibilities and solutions to
your current situation. Do you want to make more money?
Good. Do you want to repair a relationship? Fantastic. In
order to shift and create a better future for yourself,
your bank account and your relationships, you need to make
a firm decision and DECLARE, "This is what I do want.
_______________________." (and fill in the blank) Here's a
powerful quote by Alan Kay that speaks to this. "The best
way to predict your future is to invent it!" Want to enjoy
lots of success and meaning in today's competitive
topsy-turvy world? The secret is to be willing to
"re-invent yourself" as you go. Don't become extinct, as
was the fate of the dinosaurs. Their inability to adapt to
the climate changes at that time literally killed them!
Business Guru, Tom Peters says, "We must innovate or die!"
Rather a bold statement, but well worth paying attention
to! Here's my coaching challenge for you this week. Take
out paper and pen (or create a fresh document in Word) and
do these 3 steps:
1. Ask yourself..."What is my current situation" (eg.
"How's my business doing?" Look at your financials to get
an accurate picture.
2. Ask yourself..."What do I want? What are my top 3 goals?"
3. Time to Get Creative! Conduct your own Brainstorming
Session by writing down all of the ideas and ways that you
could do things differently, do things better and do things
you never took the time to dream of! Congratulations, you
have "set the stage" for your success!
