Re-examine efforts that did not quite work out
Do you examine what you might have done better from all angles when something doesn’t trun out quite right?
Whether interviewing, transferring careers or pushing for a new project and possibly a new client, the following is well worth paying attention to.
My philosophy is to always improve upon what has already taken place. Learn from everyone and everything around you. Observe, read, ask questions, and adapt to your style to make it a natural improvement. Most importantly, whatever you choose to add the next time around, it needs to be consistent with the way you conduct business.
Someone offered me advice this week, but the words were out of kilter with my way of thinking. The gentleman is viewed as an expert in his field. Some might have been feeling obliged to follow his advice. However, my belief is, If I were to proceed with the advice that wasn’t in alignment with my principles, it would ruin my brand and ultimately my business. So I thanked him for his time and declined the advice.
However, still wanting to proceed with the new idea on my mind, I sent out trial balloons on the internet to see what transpires. My idea received the best and most unanimous feedback to date. So I took the idea to trusted associates to get their insight and advice. I am now encouraged that together we will come up with a great plan of action.
When you are told “no”, “that won’t work” or to do something that is not consistent with the way you work, it is your duty to rise above to find a way to make it happen just the way you prefer. I’m somewhat of a renegade but this type of action is what has moved both my business and spirit forward. My philosophy is “Yes You Can!” with a little tweaking!!!
