Morning Motivator - Mastering Good Judgement

"Good judgment comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgment."
- excerpt from "The Normalization of Deviance" by Bob Gunn

I enjoy speaking with EXPERIENCED, MATURE leaders to better understand the "shortcuts" to success. In these discussions, commonly, the "success suggestion" is EXPERIENCE. What does that really mean though?

It was this very thought that made the above quote STRIKE home with me. What makes a GREAT salesperson? LOTS of "failed" sales calls. What makes an EXCEPTIONAL manager? Multiple NEGATIVE employee interactions? And what makes for an EXCELLENT parent? Plenty of "I'm Sorry's" along the way.

The STRENGTH of human beings is that we have the ability to REASON and REFLECT. We can LEARN from "experiences" and MODIFY actions to create favorable results the next time.

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
I BELIEVE the gap between SUCCESS and WANTING is the bridge of FEAR. As we overcome our ANXIETIES and allow ourselves the RIGHT to "experience," we begin to walk the success path.

It is only from our "failures" that we REFINE and FOCUS our efforts, such that we become efficient in finding the correct success behaviors.

Do NOT allow fear to keep you from EXPERIENCE. It is that EXPERIENCE that will lead to the demise of FEAR and the REALIZATION of SUCCESS!!

Have a great weekend!

Cheers,
Zach
