bonus: a flowchart of desire.

by bill reeb

i believe that every day, in a way, we do exactly what we want to do or what we desire. for instance, you might be frustrated by your present weight, but if you don’t change your eating habits or exercise regimen, then you clearly do not desire to lose weight.

another idea that complicates determining what we want, which is far more subtle and complex, is that we subconsciously or consciously suppress many of our desires.

don’t let inertia choose for you.

by bill reeb

inertia can be like drifting, which actually describes what many people do. what i mean is, many people just do more of what they did yesterday to keep afloat, or robotically attempt the next incremental step forward from where they are right now. it is as if they are treading water working hard throughout life and just letting the current take them wherever it is going.

the breakdown in this approach is that it presumes you are exactly where you want to be right now and that the current is going in the direction you want to go. overachievers often find themselves in this predicament: working hard treading water going with the current without a clear direction in mind.

if you can’t use your time and apply your energy on your highest priority items, what does that disconnect say?

by bill reeb

having a desire for something is the first step in your process. once you have identified what is important to you, the desire step then includes creating

• plan tactics,
• a realistic timeline and

my approach is to immediately start introducing you to a variety of techniques, each followed by a short exercise that will ask you to assess how you are performing as well as how you might apply the technique to help maintain or start building momentum toward your objective. these techniques are focused on helping you discover what you want to achieve.

what “getting stuck” and “being stuck” mean in practice.

by bill reeb

based on experiences in my own life and decades working as a coach and consultant to very successful business executives and owners, getting more out of your life often comes down to how quickly you recognize and respond to the early warning signs like losing momentum, suffering from diminishing returns on your efforts, or experiencing the disconnect between what you are thinking and what you want to do.

“let go of what you think you know” is something my mentor john’s martial arts students say and read every time we enter the school to train; it is a fundamental idea to embrace if you want to expand your ability to learn and grow. this phrase is a reminder to ensure that your existing knowledge and skill do not negatively impact your willingness to gain new knowledge and skill!

it’s funny how we think, sometimes. for example, it is not uncommon that we position ourselves on either end of a spectrum (i know something or i don’t; i have a skill or i don’t). when people think they already know something, it is hard to even get their attention to consider new ideas unless they believe someone else knows more than they do.

their intentions may be good, but they’re still roadblocks.

by bill reeb

it’s funny … every business i have counseled is different, yet fundamentally they are all dealing with some of the same basic issues.

and while every individual i work with is unique, i also find that we are all fundamentally similar (just another reflection of the concept “same-same”).

i was looking for a process that was logical, yet would be dynamic enough to respond to life as it unfolds around us.
