How to Become More Strategic and Resilient in Only 10 Minutes
According to an article published earlier this year on ScienceDaily.com, they state that: “To succeed in modern life, people need to accomplish challenging tasks effectively. Many successful entrepreneurs, business people, students, athletes, and more, tend to be more strategic — and hence, more effective — than others at meeting such challenges. A new study published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that one crucial psychological factor behind their success may be a “strategic mindset.”
The article further goes on to say that, “people can implement the findings that a strategic mindset leads to more success in their lives immediately.”
When we think about becoming more strategic - our minds tend to rush to the action part immediately.
But as the article points out, successful people have a more strategic mindset, i.e., they think differently about problems. And that thinking enables them to come at issues from a more solution-orientated frame of mind.
So how does one go about honing that tactical approach?
In the same article, Co-author Professor Carol Deck from the Department of Psychology at Stanford University explained, “There are key points in any challenging pursuit that require people to step back and come up with new strategies. A strategic mindset helps them do just that,” you have to step back and then ask those questions. Something important has to happen in that stepping-back.
So, what is that mystical “something important” that needs to happen to become more strategic?
In working with dozens of established business owners and helping them grow to a million dollars and beyond, I’ve created a process that demystifies that “something important” needs to happen. A practice that will help you shift and rewire your thinking.
I call it the secret sauce; it’s an easy daily practice that, when implemented, will help you step into a strategic mindset with ease, seeing possibilities and solutions where others only see doom.
The other benefit of implementing this quick daily practice is that it will also make you more resilient and help you stand up and overcome any business change.
So how does it work?
Before you start your day, take a few minutes to gain clarity on your vision. This will help you focus and identify what those crucial tasks are that need attention.
Then ask yourself - “How committed are you to doing whatever it takes to bring that vision to life?”
From there, it’s all about uncovering any thoughts or beliefs you have that go directly against what it is that you want to achieve and taking action that will directly lead you to the results you want.
And the best part about this practice? It will only take 10 minutes of your time every day.
