95% of people are STUCK.
And it’s not because they lack goals…
It’s because they’re making mistakes.
Without even knowing it.
Good news?
They’re avoidable!
Here are the 5 biggest mistakes they’re making:
(And how to overcome them!)
1. Prioritizing outcomes over output
We spend so much time focusing on our goals and very little time on the actions needed to get there. The highest performers focus on their daily output. And if they don’t hit their target, they re-engage and continue moving forward.
2. Failing to manage their energy
I’ve met countless leaders with a level 10 ambition and a level 2 energy that wonder why they aren’t breaking through to the next level. You don’t need a new strategy, you need renewed energy.
3. Lack curiosity in their team
Many think that telling someone what they need to do is enough to motivate them. It is not. Instead, ask people what they are motivated by. What excites them. What drives them. You’ll be surprised at how much you learn.
4. Think that doing ‘more’ is better
More hours work doesn’t mean higher performance achieved. Instead of hours worked (duration), focus on engaged deep-work (quality). You will achieve much more in the long run.
5. Letting fear lead the conversation
When we operate from a place of fear, instead of making moves to win, we make decision to try and avoid losing. This isn’t sustainable. With so much uncertainty in the world, we must operate from a place of courage. Moving forward the outcomes we want, not away from the ones that we don’t.
6. Lose sight of their purpose
When you can’t find a ‘how’, find a ‘why’. A strong purpose will take us further than a plan ever could. When you run out of gas, tap into your reason why. It will give you the energy to keep going.
We all have days where we feel stuck.
We all have moments where we lack the energy to keep going.
In those moments,
Remember what matters.
Prioritize the process.
Generate energy.
Practice curiosity.
Do deep-work.
Act with courage.
Connect to your WHY.
When you do,
You’ll find another gear.
Another version of yourself.
One that can handle ANYTHING thrown your way.
Make it a great week my friends ✌🏼
