Start With The End In Mind

By:Lee
Start with the end in mind.  Start with the finished product and see what it took to get there from where you currently stand.  What does the end look like?  Are you sure this is what you’ve wanted all along?  What if you won’t want the same thing when at the halfway point and now, you’re stuck?  If anxiety has not sent you back to the drawing board, then proceed forward until you start to feel its pull.  Now that you have defined what the end looks like, what steps will you take to get there?  How many steps are there?  How long will each take?  All of them? Now that the path has become clearer, is the finish line as bright and inviting as you had hoped?  Or has it lost some luster before you reach the line for real even there?  

Asking ourselves these questions can be overwhelmingly difficult, especially when the answers become "no's" sooner than expected, if expected at all.  Now that the foundations of the goal have been tested, how much different does the end look when the finish line is the starting point?  How strong were those foundations?  Did they stand the test, or should they be abandoned in favor of starting fresh with a new approach?  

Now that the game plan has been audited, time to reformulate.  How different does the plan look now with the end in mind?  What needs to be changed?  Where was the bottleneck?  Were there multiple?  Be honest with yourself and how you intended to reach your goal and use this exercise as a test run.  Imagine if the exercise had not been conducted at all, would you reach your goal at the same pace now that previous problems have been addressed?  Or would the goal even be reached at all?     

Starting with the end in mind is an invaluable strategy to help one see the path to victory just a little more clearly.  No, it is not a guarantee that your endeavor will be successful, but it is guaranteed to aid in your success.  Gaps will be filled with solutions that you applied, issues addressed, worries soothed.  With no true cost but time, yet potentially yielding a superior product, Start with the end in mind.

“It’s incredibly easy to get caught up in an activity trap, in the business of life, to work harder and harder at climbing the ladder of success only to discover that it’s leaning against the wrong wall”

- Stephen R. Covey

New Year, New Me?

​Christmas and the New Year are times that are supposed to make us feel excited. They serve as a reminder that many of the problems of the post year are over. The slate is supposedly wiped clean and we are free to move onto the new and the exciting. With presents and laughter as numerous as the decorations and lights that adorn each house, our culture tells us that Christmas should make you feel like it really is the most wonderful time of the year.

Despite what we should feel or want to feel, being stuck at a job you wholly dislike, knowing you deserve more but just not getting it, can make anyone feel like the Grinch on Christmas Eve. When Christmas time comes around and just being away from work for two days seems better than any gift you could be given, the time has come to make a change. Why stay in the rut you’ve felt stuck in all year? Why not get yourself the one gift you really will use for a change? Why not change your life for the better?

Having a position that makes you feel valued both financially and in terms of your career is a gift that keeps on giving all year round, and then some. The old routine of falling asleep dreading the next day at work, waking up unexcited to go to work, only to come home feeling unfulfilled is a trap that plagues too many and one you don’t have to fall victim to anymore. With numerous companies hiring immediately looking for members just like you on their team, the only thing standing between you and the next step is a phone call. Be your own not so secret Santa this year and thank yourself all year round.

​Remember the old, broken, and exhausting routine that seemed inescapable? In this new one, you will thank yourself every night while falling asleep excited about what tomorrow will bring. You will wake up ready and hungry to leave your mark on the day. You will come home feeling fulfilled and ready to do the whole thing over again. A new routine for a new you and a new era for your career. Truly a gift too special to wrap and too important to fit in a stocking, just for you.
