Attract the Right Job or Clientele:

Five Steps to Move Beyond ‘Stuck’ to Find Success

On occasion we are so excited to move forward on our deeply desired project, but then we recognize a big decision needs to be made to move beyond ‘stuck,’ so it may materialize.  By having to decide on the one factor weighing in, you recognize all else is hanging out on the limb.  No matter which direction, all else will be affected, unknowingly, either negatively or positively.

The worst case will be sleepless nights and a possible feeling of heartburn.  But by considering the following steps, you just might find the easier path.  Of course, this applies to all decisions including that of career and business.

Gut instinct

Most often, we have an instant internal reaction for how to proceed when a decision is needed.  But then we tend to second-guess ourselves, and sometimes go back and forth with the final answer.   My own experience is that the gut reaction is, 95% of the time, the right decision.  Intuition will help guide you to move beyond ‘stuck.’ However, with a couple of “whoops” in the past, it’s good to explore a bit more.

Trusted peers help us to move beyond ‘stuck’

Some may tell you that by asking six different people the same question, you will most likely hear six different answers.  Or, at best case, the response will be equally divided.  There is no denying that this is probably true.  However, if you dig deeper with further questions, you will uncover ideas not previously considered.  In turn, these may push your final answer over the divided line.

Questions most likely to be included are:

  • Why do you believe this is the best route?
  • What has been your experience or have your observed?
  • How would you contain cost?
  • What do you see as the end result?

Sleep on it

One proverbial expression is, “sleep on it”.  You will find some truth in allowing this to develop.  Just prior to drifting off to sleep, consider your dilemma and question which direction to take.  Upon awakening, you may very well have the answer.  My own take on this is that during the day, we listen to “conventional wisdom”, have fear of taking added risk, or diagnose new ideas until we are dead in our tracks.  But by sleeping on the idea, our subconscious works on our behalf to help us make the decision.

Cutting edge: essential to move beyond ‘stuck’

Some people enjoy being on the cutting edge for new ways to conduct business, and as entrepreneurs, any advantage we can have should be given attention.  However, it is clear that most of the public waits to be certain that “new idea” takes off so they don’t spin their own wheels.

Unless your business model dictates otherwise, it is best to balance cutting edge with traditional approaches to business in order to satisfy a larger clientele.  Keeping this in mind, you may be able to take the best of both worlds to create a combined solution that provides a vastly improved decision. Last, adapting the cutting edge to your style you help you to move beyond ‘stuck.’
