It goes without saying that a powerful performer looks good, feels good, acts good, and does well. The reason is that they do more. They perform at a high potential because they recognized their personal strengths and take positive action to make themselves stronger. Powerful performers spend time identifying their individual weaknesses and then proactively modify these debilities for increased fulfillment. Plainly put, they change their personal behavior patterns, their professional habits for a more powerful living-life performance.
Not changing anything in life suggests we will simply stay the same. But, in real life, you either advance or you retreat. You really never stay the same. Therefore, you must learn to change to become more productive or you fall back. And, going backwards should not be an option. It is not the way to live a high-performing life. For you see, our goal should be to grow until we die. That is how we express our true humanity. That is how we have a full life. That is how we advance to the ultimate. So, how do we progress?
The term more explicitly suggests something greater in amount, degree, or number. Thus, to be more powerful clearly connotes we must grow. Growth means change. We must do things differently by beginning to establish new high-powered types of activities. We must modify our current behavior and do away with old counterproductive practices. However, change is something that we earthborn do not handle well. The act of changing can be very difficult for us humans.
Human behavior researchers have identified five stages of change. These stages include awareness, consideration, preparation, action, and maintenance. Simply said, we first come to realize that there are more productive ways for living our lives. We see and acknowledge the need for positive change. Next, we decide to take action. We commit ourselves to making the necessary changes to progress, to advance. And finally, we choose to maintain those new behaviors for our long-term personal and professional benefit.
My professional peers think change is facilitated by eating the elephant–all of those unspoken disconcerting behaviors and habits–in the living room one bite at a time. It is called chunking. Basically, this approach says to start with tiny bites and stay with tiny bites. This procedure is very helpful in digesting difficult conduct; one does it one bite at a time. It is a straightforward method toward establishing new productive behaviors. It is similar to baby steps; that is, progressing in small steps.
This book shows you an easy way, the simple actions necessary to learn new behavior patterns and change old counterproductive habits. For behavior, good or bad, is something that you do, some action that you take. And remember, action is the fourth stage of change. Without it, you simply stay the same. No, you really retreat! This book provides, in tiny daily bites, the material and training necessary to change your behaviors and habits in a fast and easy fashion. This process, if adhered to, can make you a more power-driven person.
