Ten brilliant ways to climb your mountain
| Category: Personal Development For Marketeers | Date: 2001-07-09 |
Its sheer madness. How on earth are we going to accomplish this feat. Mountains are big; lets climb this one...
1)IS IT REALLY A MOUNTAIN? OR IS IT THAT YOU SEE A MOUNTAIN?
The task before you could be a 2500 metre climb, a 10000 metre race, to organise the Olympic Games, buy a carton of milk at the corner shop or to keep to your schedule to please an important client. The task before you is indeed a mountain if that is what you see!
Take a good look at what lies ahead of you. lets say you have a relatively short amount of time to organise a meeting for your regional director. If the first thing that pops into your head is that you probably wont achieve it in time, therein lies the problem. Without this pre-conception your job is a simple undertaking. But when you have convinced yourself its not possible you have just created Mt Fuji when only a moment earlier it was a mere baseball mound.
Give yourself some credit. You didnt get to where you are now by selling yourself short! Bring the baseball mound back.
2) GO AROUND THE MOUNTAIN
It is important to do some research first. There are always many possible answers to the one single problem. We all know it is easier to work our way around the hill than to tackle the peak itself. Is the goal to climb to the peak or simply to get to the other side?
If your destination is just to get to the other side then adjust your plan accordingly. Conserve your energy for those things that are indeed closer to your heart.
3) DO YOU REALLY NEED TO CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN?
This is very important here. Be overly honest with yourself. Why are you going to climb this mountain? Is it because deep down you really want to accomplish this feat or is it to please somebody else? This is probably the most important issue here. If you climb for the wrong reasons the chances are; at worst, you will fail and at best, you will have a feeling of unfulfilment from within.
Dont do everything simply to please someone else. It will severely deflate you. You are the most important person in the world. Treat yourself with the respect you deserve. If you dont, others may infinitely be pressing your buttons.
If youve wanted to get to the peak of this hill then for heavens sake go there and achieve it. The feeling will be exhiliarating. If youre indifferent, then find your nichй. You will have to seek it out as it is highly unlikely that it will find you.
4) DONT DO IT ALONE!!
A group of individuals with the same common goal have a habit of drawing incredible power and strength from one another. Plan your trip carefully with experienced mountaineers. A team with the same target has a much greater chance of success than a lone ranger with summit fever.
In relation to your professional life it is important that you seek out as much knowledge and professional advice as possible from the wealth of information available from others. Tap into as many different success formulae as you can. Educate yourself in your field, absolutely! Become an expert. Even if you are already an expert in your field there are always mountains (pardon the pun) of new material regularly released that will assist you no end in your endeavours.
5) YOUVE ALREADY REACHED THE MOUNTAIN PEAK IN YOUR MIND!!!
This is an important training exercise. As you vision in your mind that the goal i.e. in this case reaching the summit has already been achieved you will sub-consciously adjust your surroundings to make getting there substantially easier.
Visions of success will increase your confidence and therefore your chances of success.
Put a goal sheet on your wall, beside your desk, inside your cap, in your wallet, purse...anywhere but make them visible to you.
6) START CLIMBING FROM THE BEST ACCESS POINT
Experience has shown that the journey will be easier when you start from as close as possible to your goal. Prepare thoroughly. This point is a follow on from the last. In a nutshell be a PT (prepare thoroughly) for everything you do.
When thoroughly prepared you will have created answers to problems that have at this time not developed into problems, but will be easily recognisable and solveable if and when they transpire.
7) OKAY, YOUVE DECIDED TO CLIMB, BUT CLIMBING IS FUN!
Youve decided to climb the hill. There is only one lifetime and therefore no time for regrets. Enjoy your climb. If you dont you shouldnt really be there in the first place.
Enjoy what you do, always!
8) PLAN FOR EVERY CONTINGENCY
Its always good to be prepared for anything that can potentially happen. Plan ahead and cover all your options. It may seem pжdantic but every parachuter, every motor car racer, virtually every professional will plan for all situations. Its not much point realising what you need when you need it. Generally speaking, its too late at this point.
9) TRAVEL LIGHTLY
This is straight forward. What you take with you will need to carry. Theres not much chance of an industrial hair dryer coming in handy.
In a business sense, make sure your home life stays there. If you are developing something on the home front, for heavens sake make sure it stays there. If you bring your home concerns to work your output will indeed be impeded. This will weigh you down and have the same effect a laden backpack would.
Give your mind a break. Dont fill your rucksack with non-necessities...
10) ENJOY THE VIEW
You will pass through incredible heights during your journey. Make them memorable; this is a marvellous feat you are accomplishing. Realise it for what it is and youll enjoy it and gain an incredible amount of strength from your accomplishment.
Who knows you may then start to plan your next rewarding achievement...
