How To Thrive Right Now
Today I want to explore with you the #1 trait I see in engineering leaders and business owners who are thriving right now.
One word - action.
Those who are staying still are being left behind.
Those who are getting on with things, adapting, changing, taking responsibility and evolving themselves, their teams and their businesses are the ones who are thriving.
Let’s explore why.
Those who are staying still and watching things happen to them and around them are moving into a disempowered state. They are telling themselves things like:
- "I can't do this"
- "I'll wait till this whole thing is over"
- "I'm afraid of what might happen"
They are afraid of "getting it wrong" or “making a mistake”, are shrinking away from what is happening in the world at the moment and are unfortunately being left behind.
Conversely, the mindset in those who are taking action, looking for opportunities, changing the way they do things, creating new servicing offerings to clients, dropping old service offerings etc is one of:
- "There are opportunities everywhere here for me"
- "Yes this is hard at times, but I've got to keep going"
- "Everyone is going through this, it's up to me to create opportunities for my team and my business"
Can you see how much this is a much different mindset and approach between the two?
One is a very disempowered state and the other is super empowered.
Now I'm not saying that those who are taking action, moving and adapting have it easy. In fact it’s way harder to take action and be in the zone of uncertainty than it is to stay still and wait for this to be over.
But those who are taking regular action and moving outside of their comfort zone are the ones who are thriving right now - so I'll leave it up to you who you choose to be.
