Did you know that people who follow their passion, purpose and dreams are happier and more successful in their work and life? How do they know what to do to be successful? They ask great questions!
If you need a little push towards your dreams or goals, or are feeling discouraged, frustrated or stuck in moving forward in your career, business, or life, you might need some HOT strategies to get you moving forward again.
Do you remember learning to STOP, LOOK & LISTEN when you were a child crossing the street so you could avoid getting hit by bikes, cars, joggers or Mack trucks?
They are powerful strategies that can get you moving toward your dreams. Try them to avoid getting hit by a bus and becoming road-kill on your way to your dreams.
1. STOP.
Take a break. If you keep doing the same things you may keep getting the same results. So stop for a moment or take a half-hour to relax, breathe deeply and relax. Help is on the way.
2. LOOK.
Look at the big picture and become aware of where you are, what you are doing, and where you want to go.
Ask yourself some great questions to determine your next steps.
What’s working? (Keep focusing on this, doing more of what is already working.)
What can I do more of to reach my dreams? What has worked for me in the past?
What’s not working? (You will want to do less of this since it is not working.)
What can I do differently to reach my dreams?
3. LISTEN.
You’ve asked several great questions; now listen to possible solutions on what to do next with a little help from your friends.
Be Curious. What has worked for others in this situation? Check out the internet, books, talk to friends, experts, coaches, or advisors.
Get Help From Others! Stop doing it alone! Tap into your powerful relationships for support, ideas and resources.
And finally, Change Your Strategy. Do something different, bigger or better and enjoy the journey!
The most important take-home message is to know that when you feel stuck or discouraged, it can actually be a very powerful time of reflection and pause to make sure you are on the right path. It can be a blessing in disguise! It may feel unpleasant, but it can be your ticket to success!
Enjoy your journey and don't forget to stop, look and listen!
