Focus on “What You Are,” Not “What You Do”
We know WHAT TO DO without the tiniest idea of WHAT WE ARE.
The vital currency that budding entrepreneurs can accumulate is a motivated mindset. The internet is oozing with the success stories of transformational leaders like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. The lengthy books on habits and charismatic speeches present you with a never-ending to-do list… Wake up before the sun rises, work out at least for an hour, hustle 24/7, make your bank balance look like a phone number, and so on.
Hence, we know WHAT TO DO without the tiniest idea of WHAT WE ARE.
I believe in being quick and taking action, but taking random actions as an entrepreneur would only escalate the risk factors for my company. Focusing on- ‘what you are’ is important here, and I count on a positive outlook and motivated mindset before taking any crucial step. The cycle of BEING, DOING, & HAVING is my mantra.
Being What You Are Is The Primary Step Towards Greater Success
Focusing on ourselves and what we are capable of expand scopes for our enterprise and us. Taking actions without a positive attitude might only tighten the hurdle. The first step is building a positive mind and the strength to accept flaws in your plan. Anyone can come up with a Plan B but what is important is what you are between the failed Plan A and developing Plan B. A gigantic portion of your task is already accomplished if you focus on what you are in the initial process. The clearer you are regarding yourself, the more adept you will be in coordinating a team with your ideas. Once you start focusing on what you are, your actions will align accordingly with your plans and needs.
Do What You Do Best
Execute the plans. Blindly copying the leaders of your choice without understanding their leadership strategies is a big NO. Execute your actions in a transformational style and not be transactional. The new-age entrepreneurs are evolving from the transactional leadership style. Simply reinforcing the members of your organization for their contributions is not enough. They should be intrinsically motivated for achieving higher and bigger WITH YOU and not UNDER YOU.
Toil To Make Yourself Remarkable
The process of being what you are before accomplishing something will minimize your dependence on external factors. You are going to achieve your target without worrying about the external circumstances that may limit your potential.
Now when I think about it, we have loads to learn from a child. Practice developing an inquisitive mind like that of a toddler, questioning the mechanisms of the world’ learning from other’s actions and mistakes, and being WHAT THEY ARE.
