Borrow Some Brains
Borrow Some Brains
Often we try to figure things out by listening to our own thoughts. We get so inside our own head that is filled with good thoughts, information, and intentions. It can also get filled with fear, repeated patterns of thinking and blind spots. It takes the input and collective wisdom from others outside of ourselves to help us to get from where we are to where we want to be.
Today, many people are vascillating between two poles: Scrambling to find their next way of earning a living and being paralyzed because they don’t know where to start or are overwhelmed by the prospect of looking. Executives are also doing their own scrambling: Seeking solutions that run to generating new business, keeping existing business and scaling down costs without compromising customer service and quality of product.
As a business coach, I seek to challenge my clients’ thinking so that they can free themselves from their thought patterns that keep bringing them back to the same place and don’t advance them toward their goal. Worry does that. It lands you right back where you started. I offer something else…a way to think. Thinking progresses you forward toward an achievable goal. When people get scared, they tend to retract, isolate themselves and get stuck in their thinking. Please don’t do that. Reach out and connect! These days that is the most effective and fastest way to success. Connecting with others stimulates your brain to redirect the way you see things and make connections in your mind that will move you toward your goal. Whatever your do, make a commitment to get in the game via social networks, local networks, speaking, blogging, teaching, writing articles…anything that gets you connected to others.

Mark Twain was a smart guy. He said, “I use not only all the brains I have but all that I can borrow”. Mark Twain was onto something when he uttered those words.
