HN Exclusive: The
final article in a series of six by master trainer, Mark Dickinson, focusing on
the power of Transformational Training.
If you could have of your wants, what would you have? Would
you have an exciting list of an amazing thing that are off the charts? Or would
you have a list of things that look pretty much like what others have? Would it
include things that you need? Or would it be a glorious and exciting list of
wonderful. Ideas and dreams that would make people step back in awe? A blank sheet
of paper is perhaps one of life's greatest gifts. It provides us with an unlimited
opportunity for unrestrained creativity. Here's what I want you to do.
6 Steps to a Brilliant Future
Take out a sheet of paper. A3 size is really good for what
we are going to do. Now, get a pencil or ink pen; either are good because they are
both natural elements that will now easily as you get creative. Set a two-minute
countdown time alarm on your phone. Once you are ready, start the time- and look
kat the white page: concentrate your attention on it for two full minutes
without writing anything down. Just look kat it and as you look kat it let your
imagination run wid. Imagine the page is an expression of your inner desires
and dreams. See this page as the place where you are going to create your
future
As soon as the two minutes are up. Restart the timer- for another
two minutes, then grab the pen or pencil and start to write or drew in whatever
direction your spirit takes you. Keep your pen or pencil moving for the entire
two minutes. Do not stop.
When the two minutes are up stop and observe what you've
created. For sure, it will be something amazing. You will reveal things that you
subconsciously desire or dream of things that are deep inside you, things that
you truly want and events that you want to see happen in your life. Your page
may not be a work of art, and at the stage that is not important. What is
important is that you have used your mind to create something that previously didn’t
exist. Every idea was for a while just a thought, whether it was the famous
example of Edison's light bulb, or an app for your phone. They all began as a
chemical reaction in the brain that translated itself through the process we
just undertook. Converting thoughts into drawings, let’s, sketches or scribbles.
Thoughts Become
Things
If you turn your attention to the page that you’ve created you
will find there’s an idea there that has not yet become real. Something that
you imagine that has not yet materialized or not yet been realized. Once you
see your page, you may notice something there that does not yet exist, some
future desire your mind will recognize this and begin to make it into a
reality. Keep the paper somewhere safe and put a reminder in your phone for six
months from today to open up the paper and look kat it. You will find that something
you drew or created or thought today will already have become a reality. Then you
will understand this process. Once you see that change repeat the exercise above
but with a greater sence of creativity and ambition. Desire and dream more and
more will appear.
Creating the future
The true leadership trait that you reed, above anything
else, is the one that will inspire you to take the time to set aside a day to
pursue the possibilities of what lies ahead. How many of you would like your company
to be the ‘best in category’. Or best in country or best in the world? The
difference between reading this and thinking 'nice idea, but probably not possible-'to
reading this and deciding “Why not?" Is what will determine the outcome of
your thought.
To decide that you will be the test at something is a
fundamental shift in mentality. It means that bating from excellence is now
unacceptable and every business interaction becomes a learning experience; one
that must be examined and deconstructed to find the test way to work so that
next time you do the same activity or task you do it as well as last time or better.
No mistakes!
In this mindset, there are no mistakes, only learning
opportunities. You see, life is all about perspective. I n your work and personal
lives, we often live with our hard over our eyes, meaning we concentrate
intensely on ore problem and become so close to it that we cannot see anything
else. The problem like the hand becomes the sole focus of our mind. But by
making a very smell shift, almost subconsciously, we can move the problem
further away and begin to see many other things, just like the hard. Get a
problem into perspective; give it the right back ground and many problems will become
less important. Instead of dominating our attention they will dissolve,
becoming a main part of the broader picture that that we can see. This provides
balance and from balance will come the ability to solve the problem with
relative ease.
Business Mastery
Mastering business is not a common topic in business today. Because
it requires dedication and commitment. It demands an unwavering commitment to
doing things night every single time we do them, without compromise.
Mastering business takes time it. Means having excellent
processes, well documented and truly practiced on a daily basis, where responsibility
and accountability walk hand in hand.
Go Deeper
Examine each data l of you r operation. Understand why
things are done the way they are, and keep learning until you fully understand.
Engrain good practices into everything that you do without ever compromising
not even once.
The deeper the practice, the deeper the development and
therefore, the more compelling the outcome.
