Many of my recent posts have revealed the challenges of the time period we are in with the growth of Big Idea Guru, LLC. I?ve shared the consternation of being lost amid too many choices, suggested the need to think bigger, and tossed out a lot of advice and suggestions about what to do in such situations. But there has been an important gap in my writing herein of late…
Much of it has been more intended to provoke thought rather than to encourage action.
The reason is simple…I have been bogged down while learning some very powerful lessons that I felt the need to share, but I have not been ready to share them. Sometimes you just need to settle in and learn first, then teach what you have learned, and while that is almost impossible for a born educator like me that is what has been required lately.
So what are the lessons that I have gleaned (or in some cases had strongly reinforced) from these recent experiences?
1. It is sometimes too easy to convince yourself that you are on the right path, but that doesn’t mean you are…stepping back and accepting critical feedback is a challenge, but it is the most important thing you can do to make sure you are moving in the right direction.
2. Developing strong relationships are based on trust and mutual respect is a necessary condition for success…without people who can help you to see both the potentials and the pitfalls of your plan, you will never achieve maximum results.
3. Revealing the true potential of your ideas takes a great deal of time and a lot of effort, regardless of how simple it may seem at first…valuable lessons will be gained from false starts and missteps, with progress sometimes coming when you least expect it.
I will stop there. I could add more to the list, but the key points have been made and redundancy might well emerge if I attempted to go further. My hope is that you will find these lessons helpful as you build your business, and that you will remain focused on creating results and keep moving forward…instead of getting bogged down in thinking too much, which can be detrimental to progress in any endeavor.
