The A to Z of Excellence, B is Belief.

The back-story is here.

We often want some different results. We’d like to eat less, write more or lead our children better.

To achieve those results we attempt to change behaviours but often get frustrated when it won’t ‘stick’.

That’s because like code dictating actions, our beliefs drive our behaviours.

Beliefs drive our behaviours which dictate results. 

It goes without saying that there are helpful beliefs and those which hinder. One of the many games in life is to maximise the former and edit and/or banish the latter.

Do What You Want

On kindle.

Fresh thinking.

The A to Z of Excellence, A is Attention.

Earlier in my consulting career-seeking guidelines as to what made people effective-I identified around 25 characteristics which were consistently applied. When I-for reference in talks-put them on a stack of 3 by 5 prompt cards it wasn’t that hard-with a couple of tweaks-to create an A to Z. 

This eventually-after much discussion with various publishers -became my first published book.

I still have the original cards and still flick through them. It was also interesting how ABC appeared to be most critical and yet Z brought a sense of balance.

A is attention. Nothing happens without it. Place your attention on those things which are important to you. Protect your attention at all costs and avoid it being diluted or fatigued.
