Exponential
Change
So, how do you make exponential
growth possible? Change your focus... your mindset.
I've found four (4) general
options for change/growth...
-
Change/Growth Resistor: You
can recognize yourself or others as change resistors if
you hear "We're just fine." "Let's get back to the
basics." "That seems too risky." or "That's the way
we've always done it."
-
Change/Growth
Reactor: These are the folks who are not part of the
change but simply react to it. They take no
responsibility for the change. They simply handle it and
cope with it. They are usually one (or more) steps
behind and may at times feel frustrated, overwhelmed, or out of
control.
-
Change/Growth Agent:
As we discussed earlier, these are the people who create
change, manage change, and direct change. They are
always looking for the faster, cheaper, better ways of
doing things. I'm not saying that this is a bad thing.
These folks are necessary and often times effective, but
their impact is limited to only linear growth.
-
Change/Growth Master: The
growth master focuses on the intrinsic when it comes to
change. The growth master is...
-
Disciplined
about growth, but focuses on agility.
-
Doesn't try
to simply cut costs, but focuses on increasing
value
-
Don't simply
rely on logic and practical matters to make
decisions, but focus on adaptability and
using their intuition to anticipate change
-
Doesn't focus
on the details and specifics, but focuses on
preparedness.
-
Doesn’t
depend on positional authority, but focuses on
great ideas, powerful visions, and courage for
exponential change.
By becoming a
growth master, you
are able to create exponential change. Why? Because as you
lead change, as you model growth, others will amplify it.
YOU FOCUS ON GROWING
YOU, not simply changing "things"!!
When you focus on
changing, manipulating, handling THINGS, you are only going
to affect linear (extrinsic) growth.
When you focus on growing you,
expanding your mind, discerning value, and understanding how
you think, you are able to participate in exponential change
/ growth.
When you focus on growing
others, expanding their abilities and helping them
understand how they think, you are not just participating in
exponential growth, but facilitating it.
Og Mandino says it this way:
"Today I will
multiply my value a hundredfold.
"I am liken
to a grain of wheat which faces one of three futures. The
wheat can be placed in a sack and dumped in a stall until it
is fed to swine. Or it can be ground to flour and made into
bread. Or it can be placed in the earth and allowed to grow
until its golden head divides and produces a thousand grains
from the one.
"I
am liken to a grain of wheat with one difference. The wheat
cannot choose whether it be fed to swine ground for bread,
or planted to multiply. I have a choice and I will not let
my life be fed to swine nor will I let it be ground under
the rocks of failure and despair to be broken open and
devoured by the will of others."
So, what has it been with your
life?
-
Are you avoiding growth?
Have you chosen to be systemically fed to swine?
-
Are you looking for tips,
techniques and knowledge to improve... extrinsically
being ground into flour and baked affecting the lives of
a few?
-
Or are you growing your
ability to impact the lives of others... intrinsically
being planted, to grow, and to multiply your value?

What Next?
In these uncertain financial
times ask yourself these questions:
-
Are you a) living
in fear or b) living in faith?
-
Are you focusing
on a) solving problems or b) finding opportunities?
-
Are you looking
to a) survive or b) thrive and grow?
-
Are you a)
cutting costs and focused on the dollars or b) investing
in the people around you?
-
Are you a)
overwhelmed with fear or b) overjoyed with hope and
possibility?
Did you pick more a's or b's? If
you watch a lot of news, you probably picked a lot of a's.
I've spoken with quite a few
people who have lost their jobs recently. In these cases,
your mind has a tendency to focus on the a's... to try to
solve YOUR problem. But the way to get paid is to add value,
not simply to your life, but to the lives of others.
Focus on
adding INTRINSIC value to the lives of others.
You will,
then, be a change/growth master... you will, then, be
invaluable in these challenging times.
If you would like to learn
how to add intrinsic value to your world, I'd like to help.
I can not only teach you about all three classes of value
but also how to grow and expand your mind-set.
Neuro-axiology is
the answer. It isn't a rehashed old technique
dressed up in the fashions of today. Neuro-axiology is a
blend of the latest discoveries in cognitive neuroscience
(how your brain processes thought) and axiology (the
mathematically based study of human value and human value
judgments). It is a quantum leap ahead in the science of
personal growth and development.
It not only teaches you the
theories and ideas behind value; it shows you how to make
real, lasting changes in the way that you think so that you
can implement these theories and bring about exponential
growth... not only in you but also in others.
 You
can continue to use last century's methods and processes to
try to accomplish this century's change and growth... and
with time and a lot of effort, using the compass may be able to
keep up with the speed of change and get you to where you
need to go.
 OR, you can use this century's
technology and reach your destination more accurately and
quickly enabling you to take the direct path toward
understanding and implementing exponential change and
growth.
Take the first step today by
completing a free assessment. It's FREE after all... that's
a good price especially in today's economy.

How can one human being keep up
with constant, exponential change? It comes down to VALUE.
