Thought Tweet #774

by Rick Baker
On Jul 4, 2013

Thought Tweet #774 Baby action steps pave the path to unshakable self-confidence.


The Thinking Behind The Tweet

We learn from our experiences. This learning grows experience by experience, piece by piece. And the more repetition of experience-pieces the stronger the learning. And, because we have gone through the learning process we know we know.

When we know we know we become confident about our abilities. The more we know we know the greater the confidence. 

Simple repetition of properly-performed action steps are the key to self-confidence.

We need to imagine future situations to determine the right action steps. That's the best path.

However, if we are confused about the right action steps then we can perform the action steps we know we  know...and do them with mastery. Every one of us can do that!

So, baby steps take every one of us toward unshakable self-confidence.

Self-confidence is a process. We can design it. We can control it. 

We should all want to do that - self-confidence is a mindset to great value.

Thought Tweet #773

Thought Tweet #773 About deviant behaviour in business: remove some, emulate some, & take care with the choices you make.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

To influence change, you must focus on specific vital behaviours.

Find 'deviant' behaviour that needs to be removed...find 'deviant' behaviour that needs to be emulated...do these things...and then you create change.

***

DEVIATE...

I mean, from the 'norm'...in the positive direction.

Dare to be positively different.

Drive to be positively different.

Thrive to be positively different.

Thought Tweet #772.5 The U.S high school system has the lowest rating of G8 countries - on the bright side: they got Duck Dynasty. 

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Most business people spend more time watching 'Reality TV' than they spend educating themselves on how to do better business. This phenomenon is not limited to the U.S.A....it applies in Canada as well.

Thought Tweet #772

Thought Tweet #772 Business people resist participating in “company changes" when their managers fail to address dysfunctional employees.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

  1. It's just a fact of human nature.
  2. It's tough to be a boss...you must get a lot right...you must be consistent...you cannot obtain buy-in when people feel you are showing favouritism or avoiding people problems.

Thought Tweet #771

Thought Tweet #771 We are Canadians; we like happy endings. So, let's get back to flying our flag the right way.

 

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

 Canadian Baby Boomers, not all - but far too many, continue to coast on their old business ways. 

This Is Not Sustainable.

 

Denial ________________________________________Willing Suspension of Disbelief.

 

Thinking along this line is killing the Canadian economy.

Baby Boomers hold positions of leadership in Canadian businesses.

With that power-of-position Baby Boomers have the ability to breed positive change.

And, we are Canadians...and we do like happy endings.

With 20 to 40 years of business experience many Baby Boomers have the savvy required to breed successful positive change.

Positive & successful change can and will happen.

On the Global scale, Canada has slipped down the Innovation List.

That too will change for the better.

 

We are Canadians.

We like happy endings.

Let's turn this problem into opportunity 

 

After you satisfy yourself that Canada's business sector can and will climb our of its current problems, ask yourself:

"Should I be doing something about this?"

"Should I be helping my country make some business improvements?"

"How might I go about doing that?"

Remember...

All of us are Canadians; Canadians like happy endings.

You can lend your Baby Boomer shoulder.

Let's get started!
