Morning Motivator – How Your Boss Became So Brilliant (or not)

"We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself."
- Lloyd Alexander

It seems that companies place a lot of PRESSURE on perfection and success. You are hired because you are "the BEST." You were hired to ACHIEVE. FAILURE is not an option. Blah blah blah…

Do you know why most business owners are so SUCCESSFUL? They know all the best ways NOT to achieve their goals. They have found more ways to SCREW UP a deal, to blow up a RELATIONSHIP, to WASTE an investment and more. They have LEARNED the best ways not to do business, thus providing the FOCUS on the limited number of ways remaining to TRY.

In the past, I placed a lot of pressure on MYSELF. I CARRIED the pressure to be perfect and have all the ANSWERS up front. I felt like my job was to be excellent every day and never FALTER. REALITY CHECK: That is NOT possible. You WILL fail. Sometimes… MISERABLY!

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
I have uncovered my personal SECRET to limiting the FEAR of FAILURE, as well as the act of FAILING itself. I PURSUE the educational opportunity.

I have decided that there are NO bad articles to read as long as they are relevant. All books OFFER value – good or bad. Each discussion has the ability to PROVIDE insight. I have become a SPONGE of INFORMATION.

By knowing more than the "other guy," you have the ability to more EASILY decipher the garbage from the gold. You will still have to listen to the same SPEECHES, read the same white papers and watch the same demonstrations; HOWEVER, because you know what works and what don't… you WILL be able to find the answer!

REMEMBER: Being intelligent is not that you KNOW all the answers; rather, it is that you know which ANSWERS cannot be right, and then choose from the few left over.

Read a book – gain an ADVANTAGE!

Cheers,
Zach
