The core elements of defining goals, preparing for change as well as setting-up for transformation. How to take charge of change even as a beginner
With countless articles and blogs preaching about time management, growth hacking, social skills, personal development etc. , the prototypical “icon-wannabe” is mostly caught stuck in the noise. He is unable to make an honest evaluation of where he is at, where he wants to be in a defined timeline and then loses the battle without a value-calibrated roadmap to reach there. There is so much information, but its mostly diffuse without a clear direction for the untrained mind..
So what makes the winner stand out from the rest of mere mortals?
In this article, I explore the most effective approaches on how can we get out of the hamster-wheel of trial and error in crystallizing a solid strategy for personal growth as well as financial freedom.
Decision-Sensing
We all will agree that our existential status-quo is the sum total of all the decisions we made so far in our journey of life. But I strongly believe that there is a sensing of maturity in time and , before a decision is made. Here, I would like to introduce a concept what I call ‘decision-sensing’, that almost all successful individuals seems to intuitively use in their pursuit of goals.
Here is what you need to know first about decision-sensing:
”There are moments in life where time is in your favor, capitalize on it and then there are instances where you don’t have the advantage, stay calm and persevere here without hastily making half-baked decisions."
Decision sensing is mostly founded upon self-assessment of your ‘influence-tribe’ and ‘change-intention’. Change-intention defines what you want to change in the people process culture and the system , so that your vision is championed by the influence-tribe. When the assessment of maturity level of these two paradigms, is seen as low or mediocre, you have to wait and play smart to allow the two critical success factors to further mature.
But first you need to define to the most ridiculous detail, what is our vision that you are so passionate about and which keeps you awake every night. Once that has been done you proceed to strategize an approach that can infuse a trend and following for your cause.
The Process
There are 5 fundamental principles on building an influence-tribe which can champion your unique voice and vision and to be able to brand your self as an agent of change in the society. These are as follows-
1.Know thyself and know your ties thereon: Define your own value (unique!) preposition to as much gritty details as possible. You make your bargain/proposal based on the value you bring to the table. So be as much authentic about it.
2.Find the right platforms for introducing your presence and get noticed :You should try to make yourself available at the platforms where the influencers in your field of interest frequent the most.
3.Knowledge of the scope of the scenario/problem that defines your intentions as well as the dynamics of prevailing environment with which it interacts
4.Define calibrated levels of progression : Your pathway to influential leadership is not instantaneous, its a journey guided by planning and structure.
5.Sustain the growth and upscale the knowledge aiming for greater impact: You have to always monitor your growth against the milestones and deliverables.
Change-Intention Management
When you bring a unique depth of clarity around the smokescreen of crisis and conflict, people who were persistently averse to participation in your scheme, are morphed almost instantly into devout followers of your anthem of change. They make it their own slogan thereafter! First, loosen up your adamant inertia to face rejection and loss. Second, embrace disruption as the frontrunner of change manifestation.
To summarize:
Trust the process, and allow it bloom in full vitality. Do not focus too hard on the short-term highs and lows, however do learn from them and make the sensible tweaks in your approach.
Hope to see you soon, with yet another new game-changer perspective.
