I love a time CRUNCH! It brings out the BEST in me… every time!
People respond to PRESSURE in varying ways. Some have MeLTdOwnS AND OTHERS rise above to ACHIEVE… why??
Two elements are at play here - ORGANIZATION and CONFIDENCE. By organizing your actions in a PRIORITIZED fashion, you are able to put "first things first" and eliminate the items that will cause the most stress ongoing. Secondarily, you must BELIEVE and have the CONFIDENCE that you can achieve your goals and tasks.
As a fellow leader, I imagine you are like me, in the fact that you NEVER expect to fail and ALWAYS expect that you can achieve the goals you set. I just assume I will be successful if I DECIDE to do something.
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
Your mind set is one of the most POWERFUL success tools you have in your arsenal. Your SELF-BELIEF in your achievement in INFECTIOUS and, as long as it is resolute, it is also IMPENETRABLE.
My father had a friend that told me once, "Fake it until you make it!"
Although not an UNCOMMON phrase, it is very appropriate for those of us that do not yet have that HIGH confidence level needed to succeed.
As a personal testament, if you WILL "fake it" and ASSUME that you will be successful – you will! After a few times of ACHIEVING your goals, you will build the inherent confidence to continue with that same self-belief and eventually you will not be FAKING any longer. Once you get there… WOW! No THAT is powerful.
Assume you WILL succeed – ACT accordingly – CONTINUE to drive until others believe same as you – FIND success. That's it. It is just that easy (even if you have to FAKE it!)
Cheers,
Zach
