Knowing when to give up and when to stick with it!

Knowing when to give up and when to stick with it!


When to keep going and when to move on is probably one of the hardest things in life to know.


Perseverance and grit in my opinion are the keys to achieving success in any field you're in. We also face doubt but somehow always find a way to keep going. Being successful in business, learning something new, or even building a relationship, sticking with it is probably the most critical behaviour to have.


But saying never give up isn't always the best advice to give. In my experience and the people I work with give up all the time, these are the successful ones. If something isn't right or not working, why would you want to repeat it? You've got to see what's wrong, fix it, and make the change.


From my experience, and observation you need both strategies. At times you may be full of confidence and don't stop other times you stop when things aren't working and try something new. But how do you know when to do this?


James Clear illustrates the 3 strategies of failure which can help answer this. I've also used this to get clarification by breaking down the challenges for both myself and my clients.


  • Failure of Tactics - This is how the mistakes happen, you may forget to measure your tasks, become complacent, and start to lack in detail.
  • Failure of Strategy - This is what mistakes are happening like is your strategy not providing the results you want. What is making this happen?
  • Failure of Vision - This is why mistakes are happening do you have blurred vision and the direction isn't giving you the fulfilment you intend.

So how do you fix it?


Tactics:
1. Record your process
2. Measure your outcomes
3. Review and adjust your tactics


Strategy:
1. Launch it quickly
2. Do it cheaply
3. Revise it rapidly


Vision:
1. Take stock of your life
2. Determine your non-negotiable
3. Navigate criticism

You’re the one who gets to control your emotions, so they don’t control you.

You’re the one who gets to control your emotions, so they don’t control you. You can be the leader you've always wanted to be. So......... To be effective, leaders must have a solid understanding of how their emotions and actions affect the people around them. The better a leader relates and works with others, the more successful he or she will be. Take action and work on self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Working on these areas will help you excel in the future! And remember this isn't an overnight fix! Take back control!

Don't Let The Visions Of Optimum Keep You From Getting Started!

Image
When we set our sights on anything, whether it's in business or developing a healthier habit, it’s so easy to look at someone who’s has this covered and then we try to reverse energy the strategy. This is pretty useful in some cases because learning from other experiences and seeing how they have been successful helps elevate you and you learn. What we don’t tend to remind ourselves is that those systems, habits, and strategies may not be what you need right now to start. Comparing yourself to what others are doing and have been successful in is great to learn from but can also create doubt in yourself from getting started at all. Remember they have gone through this and now are at their optimum state which doesn’t mean you are there but you can get there, in the right way. You may not need to buy all the resources they have or even be in the position to afford it. So think do you need this now, and what can you do to just get you started for you to get there. I recall when I start

Remember that feeling when you were a kid?

Image
I'm going to be a fireman/woman when I grow up. I'm going to be a policeman/woman when I grow up. I'm going to be an astronaut when I grow up. We've either heard it or said it at some point in our lives.  But remember that feeling of saying it when you were a kid, or when your child, nephew, or niece said it. My stepdaughter wants to be an astronaut. The first thing I said there's nothing stopping you, what can I do to help you achieve your dream Not having the slightest clue into what it takes to be one, but the belief of being one was so strong that it could be seen so clearly, it's like a reality. Imagine having that kind of feeling, that kind of belief now as an adult.  Whether you're starting a new venture, working on establishing yourself, or new to a sector.  Only if you had the belief when you were a child imagine how easy it could be for you now. Why can't it though? You're all grown up and experienced life,  and understand more now than whe
