Be x Do = Have: is the formula for life success – both personal and business.
Most of us want to have things. A better business, car, larger house, security, happiness, it’s what makes the world go round. So in order to have these things we DO more and more – we do more work , do more calls, do more of what we already do. Sometimes DOING more does actually improve our lot in life – but more often nothing really changes other than we are a whole lot busier.
This is because we ignore the BE in the equation.
The BE is the most important – this is about US. We are human Beings – not human Doings! If for example we have a business that is performing OK – nothing special – then doing a lot more might not get us the results we want. We need to work on our skills as well – the BE in the equation. So instead of just doing more – we need to work on ourselves – our BE – learn how to be better at sales and marketing, become a better leader, learn how to master our financials etc etc. In this way we give the equation a chance to work to its full potential.
BE (our Thoughts and skills) X DO (our Actions) = Have (our Results)
In summary – simply doing more is not always the answer. Ask yourself – Who do I need to be, who am I now and am I being enough to have what I ultimately want? Do I need to know more, to educate myself further to work harder on myself than I do on my business? I’ll repeat that. Work harder on myself than I do on my business. When you work on “who you need to be” and couple it with “what you have to do” they result in what you will ultimately have.
