Three Things Everyone Must Figure Out
We go through a cycle every time we enter a new situation, relationship, or project.
Start a business, begin networking for the first time, walk into a strange social situation, or meet a new group of friends — the cycle is predictable.
I’ve been through this cycle multiple times in my life. So have you. Global leaders, prime minister, and presidents, along with entrepreneurs, plumbers, and dish-washers. It’s all quite human.
This is typically an unconscious revolution. But if we consciously move through these three things, it’s possible to be intentional about where we land.
A new job. A new position. A new business. Any new social situation. Remember you must figure out these three things.
How should I think?
How should I act?
What are the habits I need to create?
You could reverse "how to think" and "how to act" depending on your propensity. I lean toward strategy and planning. When I enter a new situation I want to know how I should think. More action-oriented folks will want to know how they should act.
The order of thinking and acting isn’t so critical. We need both.
