There is a simple formula for increasing success. No, really, there is. I heard it last week at a presentation by Wendy Richards and it astounded me. Here it is:
Results = Potential – Interference
Your results come from your potential minus what interferes with your potential.
Your results increase as your potential increases – obvious, that’s why we pay for training, coaching and mentoring.
But, your results diminish as the interferences increase. So … eliminate or reduce what interferes with your potential and your results increase. They must do.
How often do we seriously take stock of what stops or blocks us? What interferes with our success? What diminishes our efforts or success? Probably less frequently then we work on growing our potential because no one likes looking at their faults. But by ignoring those faults, we miss half of the success equation.
Results = Potential – no interference. Now your results are only limited by your potential. Wow, imagine that! What could you achieve when you consistently leverage your full potential? Your dreams would become reality. Your visions would appear in the world, in your life and business.
Just imagine what your children could achieve when they understood this and lived like it daily. Wouldn’t that be a legacy to leave to the next generation.
An Action To take Now
This takes a bit of courage, – to look your problems and issues and limitations in the face. But you can. Ready? Let’s go!
Grab a piece of paper or your journal or notebook. Make sure this is somewhere you can keep private and confidential.
✅ Write down the goal, the dream, the thing that you long to create. Add the details, get all the glory and awesomeness in there.
✅ Now, write down everything that interferes with you achieving that. Everything, anything, anyone. Your work exhausts you and you feel you have none left to work on your goals – put that down there. Your spouse constantly needs support and that takes your spare time – add that in. Your kids have so many social activities that you just can’t fit your own things in – write it. The weather is horrible – yep, put that in. You don’t have enough money to buy what you need. Your back hurts. You are stuck and don’t know what to do next.
Write down everything and anything that stops or blocks you, slows you down, discourages you, causes you to hesitate or not start. Look those interferences in the face.
Now … get creative, get proactive and get determined. Which of these can you do something about to reduce or eliminate the effect of that? It doesn’t matter which you choose or how little you think you can reduce that influence, although clearly choosing a major block and removing it completely will be a massive shift.
Find something that stops you and do anything about it.
Results = Potential – Interference
Reduce the interferences – even a tiny bit – and your results must increase.
And if you just can’t face doing it alone, let’s do it together. I keep time in my calendar for calls just like this, we can probably start today. Book a free call and let’s do the scary first step together.
