2W2B: Analysis
This is part of an ongoing series as I journal my way through Lisa Haneberg's book, Two Weeks to a Breakthrough. Today's entry is Day 7 of 14...
You may notice that it's been four days since my last 2W2B post. Not only did I fall behind, I skipped a day in the series (Day 6: 'What If' is a great exercise). What do most people do at this point? Succumb to the barrier or create a breakthrough?
Beliefs-Actions-Results
Your beliefs determine your actions, which determine your results. Lisa coaches us into breakthrough mode by analyzing this model in reverse.
- What is the desired result?
- What actions will best support achieving the goal?
- Based on the goal, which beliefs do we need to adopt?
Our beliefs are often the crutch we lean on that keep us from breakthroughs. Maybe it's our version of "loser's limp" that keeps us from the breakthrough.
Take blogging as an example (you knew I'd get around to this, yes?).
Our desired results:
- Engaging Conversation
- Better Search Results
- Fame and Fortune
Beliefs that hold us back:
- Not enough time; I've got other things to do
- Nobody is reading my blog yet anyway, I'll do it later
- I'm not a good writer; I don't know what to say
If we want the results...what actions do we need to take...what beliefs do we need to change?
