Do you want to be smarter?

One of the easiest ways to improve ourselves is to unlearn by trying to be smart and right all the time. Years of schooling and test taking has conditioned us to do our best to be right and be smart. If we keep doing that, people who are smarter and wiser than us will shut up and quit talking in front of us. They won’t advise us. You won’t learn a better way of doing things. They will feel they are wasting their time talking to you.

When should you slow down?

The hardest work on your list. That’s the hardest to tackle. You either procrastinate because it is the hardest. Or you do your best to rush through it because it hurts in so many ways to do the hardest work.

Deep down, you know the hardest work is the one you need to start now as you will need all the time to churn out good work. Deep down, you know it is work you need to slow down the most. Any missteps will make the work even harder than it is now.

When should you pay attention to the details?

How do you progress?

A huge group of people tend to think, it’s ok to make mistakes. They push the idea of “fail fast, fail often.” Then there is another group who thinks this is foolish. They push the idea of mistakes are foolish and should be avoided. Both are right if you dig deeper into their thoughts about why it works. If you do not dig deep enough, it risks failing on both ways of doing things. Because it is not sexy to say, “Fail, evaluate, learn and readjust” (because everybody knows that), so no one talks about it. It’s not a sounding mantra to chant but it works.

What can you learn from them?

Whose job is it?

Take responsibility for your ideas and dreams. What else do you want me to say?

Are you just gonna sit and talk only?

Are you a positive magnet?

If you want to grow and be a source of growth for others, learn to compliment. Positive vibes, or whatever you want to call it, attracts the right people. The right people are usually helpful. Being helpful to people generally attracts helpful people to you too.

If on the other hand you complain all the time, you are the source of destruction. Destroying people’s day and dreams. It draws you pain and obstacles and unending challenges.

Do you leave destruction where you go?

How much luck do you have?

There will be people who seemingly have all the success that you desire with less intellect, less talent and are less hardworking than you are. There will always be people like that. “Some guys have all the luck”, the song goes. There will always be people who are lucky. You can envy them but there’s nothing great in that.

Instead take pride that you have to work harder, try better and move faster than anyone else just to reach your dream. It says a lot about who you are and what you are made of.

That’s a nicer story to tell at the end of the journey.

Would you rather tell a better story?

What is your return?

Start thinking about your return on time invested. Don’t get distracted and focus on what will bring you to your goals faster. Everything wants your attention but not everything needs your attention.

You can make back the money that you lost. But you can’t make back the time that you let slip away.

What’s dragging you away?

What would you choose?

Positive choices no matter how small eventually compound and bring the results you want. Take advantage of the fact that in each situation no matter how bad it is, you have the freedom to make the most positive choice possible. That and each and every positive choice will put you in the right trajectory to your goals.

Do you think you have no choice?

Are you a good student?

Most people will say they want to learn. But when they are taught, inevitably most will revert to how they used to do things.

Learning means you are adopting new skills and knowledge. New skills and knowledge means making a choice to do things differently. And that is hard because humans are animals of habit.

So, when you say you want to learn, make sure it is not just about gaining new information. When you say, “I want to learn”, make sure the latent meaning of that statement includes reviewing what you know, applying what new things you have learned and applying them.

Have you truly learned if you haven’t applied them?

Do you want to be good?

Professionals spend time perfecting their craft over long periods of time. They train and they practice often quietly with discipline and commitment. What they gain is gradual proficiency and steady improvements. What you see is overnight success that took years.

Do you seek the elusive perfection?

Does it work?

Of course, it doesn’t work if you just regurgitate what you learned without first understanding it.

Everything you learned is theoretical until you apply them. To apply them you need to digest them just as your body digests the food you ingest to produce nutrients it can absorb.

Break down what you learn and put them into action. Then review and repeat. That’s how you make what you learn works. That’s how things become practical and not theoretical.

How do you make it practical?

How will you get there?

You can have vision, passion and ambition. But eventually it needs to meet action. Otherwise, nothing will come to fruition.

Your character, your commitment and your discipline will guide you there no matter how arduous the journey is.

How much is the fare?

Will you tell them?

Everybody deserves to know the truth. But not everyone can handle it. Choose well what you say to whom. You can be hated even for telling the truth.

Would you rather lie?

Do you savour the journey?

To be great at your craft, you need to feel the struggle and how it seems to tear apart your life. It makes you make choices you hate. Then all of a sudden, you master the craft amidst all the doubters and haters. But first you must have the grit to see through the journey even when it sucks.

Can you see your destination?

What got you here?

What got you here are your strengths. You should protect those. You should use them as principles that guide you. Not chains that tie you down.

What gets you there are things that you have not learned. Don’t be too stubborn to say you know it all and have done it all.

Be guided by experience but be fuelled by new learnings.

What gets you there?

How would you grow?

Once your business starts growing and you have excess resources, your decision to expand can take two general directions. Expand into new areas or strengthen your foundation. This is crucial. One that should be guided by what is your strategic competence.

I would opt to strengthen my strategic competence if it is not at its best yet. Expanding on a fairly strong foundation isn’t a strong enough reason to expand my business yet. But that’s just me.

What would you do?

What did you say?

If you can make your ad both educational (think telling stories) and entertaining (think making it interesting), you will have your consumers paying attention. Don’t bore them with what you want to sell, give them a reason to consume your ad. Then they will consume your product.

“Tell the truth but make truth fascinating. You know, you can’t bore people into buying your product. You can only interest them in buying it.” – David Ogilvy

Does it frighten you?

If you are running a business, you are probably worried about:

Firing a client.

Raising your prices.

Focusing on only a few products/services to sell.

Telling clients the truth.

Making decisions contrary to industry practice.

Don’t worry. These won’t kill you. It may even make you grow exponentially.

Would it excite you?

How much do you need?

If someone asked you this question, how would you answer it? Do you have a figure in mind? What would you do with it?

It can apply to your marketing budget; it can apply to your business plan and it can apply to your personal life.

You should have some form of picture in your mind where you want to go and what are the resources needed to get there.

Your challenges are easier solved when you know what you need.

Can you recognise it when it appears?
