Are you in FORCE or FLOW??
So what is force or flow you might ask?
This is more than just a business question, it is also a LIFE question!! The best metaphor for you to understand this is that of an athlete that you have seen, heard or admired over time. When athlete’s perform their best, they tend to say they are or were in the “zone”! This is called the “flow” in this context! When everything happens so easily and naturally and everything just seems to line up and happen the way it is supposed to or more than what you expected!
As opposed to us working so hard, getting knock back after knock back, or pushed down after seemingly doing everything “right” or as it is supposed to be! This opposed view really describes FORCE, as you are trying your very hardest, but outsiders would view you as ‘trying too hard” and you feel it. You just may not put it in these words. You know what I am saying don’t you?
Problem Mindset: Forcing the result you want to have
Solution Strategy: Understanding what it takes to ‘allow’ it to FLOW!!
Just like athletes, they do the work, do their best and then need to let it happen. In business, this means doing the reading, doing the study, doing the work (executing) that your competitors will not be prepared to do and then applying it with no expectation and consistently. Just applying it because you know it is the right thing to do, it allows you to live into your values and it also creates the legacy that fires your heart and passion.
Every time I stop chasing money and just ‘let it go’, I tend to focus on how I can help. When I focus on helping with no reward, people sense this and allow me to help them. They then “get” I care and know what I am about and new opportunities just seem to present themselves that would not have been there in the past.
I tend to view it that when I am coming from my ‘heart’ and not my ‘ego’, miracles happen!!
So if you know what I am talking about, or now that you have read this get an inkling that this is the truth for you also, just as it is for 95% of all other successful people in the world; try these few things to replicate this space as much as you can:
- Focus on giving ONLY, as the getting will come naturally (just for 1 day initially)
- When you find yourself exhausted and stuffed (losing perspective), then let go and take a day off (just see what happens)
- Shut down 1 day’s work of doing and call 5 people and offer them your assistance free of charge, just to connect and give back to the universe
- Give everything you have in these meets, with the understanding that if you give all your knowledge away, the universe will fill the void you have just created
What is the worst that could happen, you lose half to a full day of production? BUT, what is the potential gain?
Let me tell you from experience many times over, it is worth test and measuring – I will put my family’s life on it!
