Here are three thoughts about…
Many successful people have figured out how to take silent battles and pain, and transform it into productivity. Most people cannot, and don’t, do this. The vast majority of people do not read books. The vast majority of people do not go to seminars. The vast majority of people do not seek out self-improvement. If there is a commonality among successful people – it’s struggle. And, it’s being able to overcome the struggle and tap into resourcefulness that make one successful.
Opportunity:
Successful people take intelligent risks while seeking out recipes and solutions for success. They put themselves in front of opportunity. Opportunity is always there; the question is whether you are availing yourself of it.
Goals:
Goals are dreams that are taken seriously. A lot of people have dreams, but they don’t take them very seriously. The people that do, have goals. When you attach action to those goals, you produce results.
Here’s a question…
What if you started focusing on your strengths instead of your weaknesses?
As Dan Sullivan says, “If you spend too much time working on your weaknesses, all you end up with is a lot of strong weaknesses.”
Most of the things people are really good at, they feel guilty about doing. They tend to put a lot of time and effort into things they suck at or that they think they have to do. The things they are good at seem to be so effortless and “too easy.”
Productivity is maximum results for the least amount of time. Leverage is maximum results for the least amount of effort. Focusing on your strengths makes you productive and gives you leverage. What are your strengths? What are your amazing skills and capabilities? Where is your performance excellent? Develop those things and think of it as marketing.
