Unavoidable Stages of Competence
Unavoidable Stages of CompetenceWhen I was young, stupid, and wondering when I would understand life, I often turned to Zig Ziglar for a road map. Zig's Stages of Competence was what I needed:1) Stage One is where we begin. We are "Unconscious Incompetent." We don't know what we don't know.2) Stage Two is called "Conscious Incompetent." I spent a lot of time there. I used to say, "I have no idea what I'm doing - but at least I admit it."3) Stage Three is "Unconscious Competent." People who have no idea how good they are. 4) Stage Four is "Conscious Competent." That is your goal. To know what you are doing - and OWN it! Most people continue to another level that some call "Conscious Competence." The ability to recognize and develop Unconscious Competence in others.You will become who you were meant to be when you learn how to get there, do the work, and recognize your achievement.

Behavior Hacks That Change Everything
Behavior Hacks That Change EverythingYour mind is the most powerful super-computer ever created. Here are a few ways to hack it and transform your life.1) Start using a "Good Enough" approach. Perfectionism is doing nothing to move you forward.2) Use your ONE mind to do ONE thing. Multitasking is splitting your focus and energy. It's also delaying your success.3) Let go of control. Some things are not up to you. Figure out what they are and move on.4) Say NO to anything that does not directly support your Goals. Do what you KNOW will get you what you want. Don't do something in hopes of getting what you want.5) Hang out with supportive, positive, and nurturing people. Let toxic people create their own group.6) Be willing not to be liked. If you avoid making folks unhappy, you're not moving toward your dreams.7) Focus on the story of YOU. Minimize social media and television.
