Hey, Charlie Hauck, Fast Tip Friday brought you from the Growth Dynamics geniuses. Sarah Waple's on vacation this week watching her son play baseball at Cooperstown. What a great experience for a young man. What a great experience for his whole team.
Jackson's experience on the baseball field made me think of this week's topic. I want to share it with you. Change in development is not an instantaneous thing for almost any and everything that we do as human beings, and particularly when you enter the world of business as an adult, change requires behavior modification. It's a simple concept from the psychology of human performance. You can't read something and make it your own until you're willing to modify your behavior to accommodate a new belief, a new practice, to develop a new habit.
So my message this week is pretty quick. I don't care where you get your coaching, your mentoring, your advice on what to do or how to change or improve your performance. It can be from an organization like Growth Dynamics, or there's tons of performance coaching organizations out there that are good for you. The only way it takes place, though, is if you take the advice that you've paid these people to give you. You can't just sit in the room and listen to it!
You can't just listen to it in a DVD or on a podcast. You have to make a commitment to changing your behavior and go through the process of trial and error and failure. So whatever it is you're trying to do, whether it's to eat better, to exercise more, to exercise more effectively in the gym, to prospect more effectively, to be able to collect more decisions more efficiently, more effectively, to become a better interviewer, if you're hiring people. You must find a new way to do it and you must go through the process and the deliberate mindset of I'm not going to master this the first time I've got to do trial, error, failure, growth to make it happen. So commit to the behaviors. It takes 30 days to develop a habit. So you've got to be willing to put those 30 days right there in front of you and step into it every day. New, better, different requires commitment.
Make the commitment. Take the action. Learn from your mistakes and build better habits for better results. Thanks for listening, everybody. Have a great weekend. Take care.
