I've tried everything and it doesn't work.
That's what my son will say to me after he tried the exercises (proposed from my point of viewđ ) imposed (from his point of view) to improve his results at school.
In the business, we sometimes hear âonly the result countsâ. This implies that we don't care about the effort.
In the end, the two are completely linked.
1. So where to focus?
Youâre more likely to get the result (out of your control) and feel better (because in your control) by going through the prolonged effort phase.
2. If you want to [your goal]
âIf you want to stop a bad leadership behavior
âIf you want to start a good habit
âIf you want to find more customers
3. Did I do my best to appreciate my teams today?
Focus on the effort by asking yourself a daily question related to your goal.
4. But for it to really work...
looking for continuous improvement in your effort has to be part of the equation (which my boy is not interested in doing right now đ for his homework)
5. Effort + striving for continuous improvement = Success (almost) guaranteed
6. And even if you don't succeed
the process that is in your control brings you meaning and happiness.
