Do Something to Breakthrough
If you like this article:
--E.L. Doctorow
Finally, I had to tell Amy that she could not go any further without getting out there and doing something. In our coaching sessions we had talked about her hopes and dreams, investigated the many possibilities, weighed the pros and cons, discovered her straights and weaknesses, and sought intuitive guidance from her powers that be.
It was time. She had to do something. She couldn’t learn any more. She couldn’t figure out anything else. The only course left was to begin walking the path.
My key energy management tip to her -- Only in actually walking the path would she be able to know more about who she was and where she was going.
Sometimes you just have to start and go for quick results– even if you don’t feel that you are ready or have everything you need to start. Waiting until "I'm ready" can frequently lead to nothing happening. Consider using a Breakthrough Technique that is designed to produce quick results and get you started right away.
This might seem a bit scary. But the big advantage in starting now is that only in actually taking the steps will you be able to explore all of the relevant issues that will come up as you are actually doing something. You can continue to research and refine your project as you go along.
Here are the steps to the Breakthrough Technique:
Choose a project that you will complete and present to the world – make this a stretch goal.
Side step elaborate planning and go for a result now.
Set 5 compelling, urgent and short term goals with regards to your project- skip over the planning and analysis phase.
Set a nonnegotiable date for completion – think in terms of days, weeks and months and not years
Every day take some action toward accomplishing the purpose.
Include "just in time" education and training as needed.
Focus on what you can do now with what you have.
Take the time to reflect and capture insights that are being gained along the way. This will allow you to discover the breakthrough expansion routes that are naturally clarified as steps are taken toward the goal. As you do this you will naturally expand your capacity to create the desired future.
Start today.
Pick one change that you want to make. Take 15 minutes and design the first draft of your Breakthrough Technique. Take your first step.
Support:
Get a Breakthrough partner and support each other in achieving your nonnegotiable completion date. Make it a game. Perhaps a fun competition.
"One starts an action simply
because one must do Something."
-- T.S. Elliot
"Action is the way we get to
experience ourselves. And so we act not to bring about an outcome but
to bring about ourselves."
-- Ellen Langer
