Going Forward (and Getting Out of Your Way)

Grains of sand can start an avalanche.
~ Marianne Baillieu

Feel stuck? Overwhelmed? Read on.

One of the quickest paths to success is learning the power of doing less. A little goes a long way.

Nothing will build your confidence and momentum like setting small, achievable goals that you will actually accomplish! Let the phrase "under-promise and over-deliver" be your creed. In other words, commit to less for the sake of accomplishing more.

It's been said that we underestimate what we can accomplish in the long term to the same degree that we overestimate what we can accomplish in the short term. What does that mean? The biggest mistake I see clients make: they take on too much. They try to do EVERYTHING. They can't say no. After a while they are drowning in activity and getting frustrated, disappointed, and burnt out. (Has this ever happened to you?)

This is a scam. A set-up for failure. Set yourself up for success. Scale down your demands on yourself. Here are some tips:

Tip #1:
Instead of tackling a big project at one time, take on a piece of it. Here are some examples: if your bigger goal is getting a new contract, commit to getting one interview this week. Only one. Anything beyond that is extra credit. Or if you want to organize your office, perhaps you could commit to tidying your desktop (or in some cases, just a section of your desktop would be a good start). Again, anything beyond is extra credit. Soon you'll discover that each success has a cumulative affect. You will feel better, more confident. Things will start to happen around you. You'll experience synchronicity. You'll make more progress faster.

Tip #2: Play to your strengths. Do what you're good at. Delegate the rest. If it isn't a heckuva lot of fun, or make you a lot of money, it's not the best use of your time.

Tip #3: Banish perfectionism. Nothing will stop you faster than trying to get it "right" the first time. Learn by doing. Shoot your arrow, see how close you came to the mark, make adjustments, and shoot again. Even your "mistakes" can yield miracles. Experience will give you better information than any book, class, or advice.

As Nike says, Just Do It!

What makes these tips work? You're keeping your focus on the long term. You don't run a marathon like you run a sprint. Look at the big picture. Set your priorities. Stay in the game.

This is the foundation of your job in your partnership with the universe. As you learn to be more efficient and effortless in your job, you create more room for providence to contribute to you.

This is where to start your journey: get out of your way and into the flow!
