To Move Forward You Sometimes Need To Do Something Different

Daily Spin:

How Do You Move From Where You Are To Where You Want To Go?

Easy.  Right?  You keep doing the same thing you've always been doing.  Ah, but there's the challenge.

Marshall Goldsmith's book, What Got You Here, Won't Get You There is one of the most we'll written, genuine, in your face, look at why you are where you are, and how to get to where you want to go.  Check out Goldsmith's blog at http://blogs.hbr.org/goldsmith/

The fact of the matter is most of us are not realistic with where we are currently.  And, as Goldsmith points out, it's not until you honestly and truthfully identify where you are now that you'll ever start making progress on where you wish to go.

Many of us are in that position now.  Don't like your job.  Doing more than others.  You understand but they don't.  The list goes on and on.


Final Torque:


It's simple.  Today I ask that you evaluate yourself and your situation honestly.  Ask those closest to you to give their input.  Take the information, use it to your advantage, and begin moving forward.

I just took this step.  It was hard.  It was good.  I'm moving forward.

You can do the same!
