5 Foolproof Steps for Thriving Under ANY Circumstances
BONUS CONTENT: GET THE LIFE YOU WANT WITH THIS EASY-TO-FOLLOW PROCESS
“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”
Those eleven words, famously uttered by boxing legend Mike Tyson, are probably more relevant today than when he first said them. They could even be the 2020 mantra!
After all, 2020 was a rough year and yes, that might be a vast understatement.
When the pandemic hit, it certainly knocked the wind out of most of us.
It changed the course of our lives in so many ways…
The stock market tumbled.
Working from home was thrust upon corporations and employees, whether they were prepared for it or not.
Many people lost their jobs.
The travel industry came to a grinding halt.
Restaurants, retail stores, and small businesses suffered tremendously, with many filing for bankruptcy.
Social distancing kept us separated from loved ones.
Not to mention the MANY other significant impacts on our lives both collectively and individually.
And we’re not out of the woods yet.
While the COVID vaccine is rolling out, we still don’t know when life will get back to normal… or even if it will return to normal.
If there’s one major thing 2020 taught us, it’s that black swan events do exist, and more importantly, that they are completely out of our control.
Black swan events are defined as unpredictable happenings that have potentially severe consequences.
We cannot predict when they will occur, or how. All we can do is be ready to pivot and adjust to whatever gets thrown at us; to make the best out of a bad situation.
And, more importantly, to make sure these events do not derail us. That we stay on track with our own success.
That’s what a few elite individuals managed to do, even during the pandemic.
They were able to not only adjust to the drastic changes, but to capitalize on them.
They MADE money when so many were losing it…
They restructured companies that were failing and made them profitable again…
They kept moving forward while others were on the sidelines panicking…
You can be one of these game changers.
You can be one of the elite few who not only survive, but THRIVE under any circumstances.
As an international business lawyer, investment banker, and advisor to C-suite executives, I’ve had inside access to some of the world’s most impressive leaders for over thirty years now.
During the pandemic I witnessed these elite few in action.
No matter how much pressure they were under, or how dire the circumstances, time after time they still made solid decisions that generated beneficial outcomes.
It was incredible to watch.
They were like superheroes - the way they were able to set doubt, fear, and anxiety aside so easily. It was as if they were invincible! But of course, I knew that wasn’t the case. None of us, no matter how brilliant, are invincible.
As I observed more closely, I saw one main similarity between every single one of these thought leaders.
A five-step process each of them utilized to move forward successfully.
That five-step process was the foundation from which they made all of their important decisions. Without going through those five steps, they would not have made such empowered, well-informed decisions, nor would they have devised a way to implement them so well.
Use this proven 5-step strategy to break free from uncertainty, get clear on your goals, and take action on your dreams.
Without this process, these elite individuals would be no better off than the rest of us. In fact, they’d probably be just as paralyzed by fear in the face of uncertainty. And that would not serve anyone’s best interest.
That’s when I knew I had to share these five steps with the world. NO ONE should be without this essential process.
After all, black swan events impact EVERYONE. It’s not only the elite few who need this valuable five-step process. EVERYONE should have it in their arsenal.
By following this five-step process, you’ll be able to:
Achieve clarity of mind
Alleviate doubts or fears you have about getting it wrong
Set goals and deadlines that will propel you forward
Develop and implement an actionable plan
Pivot and adjust in real time, under any circumstances
Stay on track for success no matter what life throws at you
Lead others by example
Achieve, and even exceed your goals independent of what’s going on around you
Now that you know what you can do, you’re ready for the five-step process. Let’s get started!
5 Steps to Success, under any circumstances:
Step One: Identify What You Want
Step Two: Nail Down the Specific Details
Step Three: Establish Thought & Action Deadlines
Step Four: Plan Your Strategic Moves–from Success Backward to Your Starting Point
Step Five: Hold Yourself Accountable
Once you follow these five steps, in that exact order, you’ll have a foolproof plan for success, that is, as long as you’re willing to put in the hard work...
The above steps may seem simple on the surface, but there is a structured process and strategy behind each one. A strategy that is designed to maximize the outcome of going through this process.
For example, identifying what you want may seem fairly easy. You want a big house, lots of money, total freedom, and a new sports car. Well, those are all wonderful desires to have, but simply writing those down does not even come close to completing step one of this process.
And it certainly won’t get you any closer to achieving your goals.
Which is why…
Now that you know what the process is, you need to know how to use it…
After all, this pandemic is not a one-off. It’s only a matter of time before we are faced with another black swan event. And of course, we won’t know when or how, or what the impact will be.
But no matter what it is, it should not have the power to derail your success.
You can still set and achieve your goals, even under the most difficult circumstances.
Even at your weakest moment, you can still make decisions with confidence. You just need the right set of tools to help you get there.
This five-step process is INVALUABLE. It is so crucial to your success that I’ve made both the process, and the key to unlocking its value free.
These five steps can make the difference between succumbing to fear and overcoming it. They can determine your success or failure. They can distinguish you as a leader amongst your peers.
Most importantly, they can be your defense against any black swan event you ever face. The shield that helps you dispel your fears, and move forward courageously and strategically.
What are you waiting for? There is no reason you should go one more minute without these five game changing steps, and the key to unlocking their greatest potential, as well as your own!
The first step is knowing what you want. So if you want to be a leader and an innovator, get both this process and the key to using it NOW.
