Get to the next level in 4 steps!!


Here is a video if you don't like to read! :)

Break through your barriers. You know what you want! Maybe you've wanted it for years. You've done great, but there are still areas lingering that are frustrating. Why can't you seem to break through those last few barriers? Here's how:

1) Observe 2) Analyze 3) Decide 4) Act.

It's basically the life coaching process in a nut-shell, and you can do it for yourself.


1. Observe
-- Look at the world (or yourself) as a scientist would. See it through several different perspectives. What is happening? Why? Once you feel that you understand it, take the perspective of another key player. Talk to more people and get their perspective. What is the conventional wisdom on this topic? What is a radically different way to see it? To understand things better, challenge your own thoughts and beliefs about this topic -- is there a completely different way to see things? Experience confusion!! Stand on your head and look at the world now. Let things seem completely foreign to you. Experience uncertainty. Ask yourself "what am I missing? How can I find out? " Go for a run and ask yourself again. Sit in silence and see what thoughts come to you.

2) Analyze
-- What does this info mean? How can you use what you've learned? What are all of the possibilities of what you could do with this information? What would lead to the biggest messy failure? What would be the easiest most streamlined way to success? What approach sounds boring? Thrilling? Easiest? Most difficult? Make a list of all of the approaches you could take. What approaches can't you take? Are you sure about that? Make a list of what would be impossible. Is that really impossible? Are you sure? Starting with the impossible is a great way to find things that you can create, or make possible. Is it impossible to fly? Make a plane. Impossible to make a robot that cleans your floor? Make one. Impossible to make a billion dollars with a web site that links people together with photos? You get the idea.

3) Decide -- Choose one approach (or a few) to start with. You'll have to discard some of the ideas, though you can always come back to them later. Sometimes your discarded ideas may be more viable than your other (more viable-seeming) ideas. You just never know. But you've gotta start somewhere -- so for now, make an initial decision.

4) Act
-- How can you put this decision into action? Bold action! It doesn't have to cost a lot. You don't necessarily need an army behind you. There is a lot of action you can take in small ways. Google, call, write, ask, walk, open doors, attend, speak, follow-up, etc. Many of these actions take five minutes or less. The key is to ACT.

Then repeat as necessary. If you hit a wall, go through the process again. You can use this to decide on a business idea, a career path, or to deal with a small specific problem. Use this to decide "should I pursue a career in science?" Or "How can I get my cold calls to work more effectively?"

Good luck!!
