Living to the Plus- Connection- Networking- Groups - Mentors - Leaders- Servant Leaders
How is your connection or connections? Do you have a support chain or network? Do you know networking is one of the greatest super powers? The phrase "it's not what you know but who you know" can truly be used to your advantage or detriment on how you use your network. If you have a passion or an objective, you can only do so much alone. Yet if you have an established network of resources, you can ask for help, delegate and collaborate to accomplish your goal faster, stronger and more effective.
Another form of networking is groups and a way to connect. Weather it be on social media or (not in Vid-19 times) in person. Groups offer a bank of people and resources. If you utilize them effectively they can help motivate, keep you accountable and to help you reach your goals. What groups are you in and how do they benefit you?
They say in order to become a Master at something you have to do that action or skill 10,000 times. Are you a Master at anything? How much time or times did it take to perfect your skill? I personally fit in the category of Jack of all Trades and Master of none, unless you want to count running and triathlon, I have done the motions way over 10,000 times...
Another option is, if you connect with a Master, Coach or a Mentor, they have mastered a skill and can help you reduce the number of repetitions to become a Master at a skill in less time. They give you a part of them, a part of their experience to accelerate your learning and mastery.
Do you have a coach or a mentor? What is something that you want to Master that you don't want to spend all that time? Are willing to get a coach to learn and become a Master?
I think I would not mind learning Ju-jitsu or bow hunting or more about gardening.
A little bit different than a Master or Coach is a Leader. A Master or Coach can be a leader. Are you a leader or a follower. You don't even necessarily need to be in charge or have a group you are leading to be a Leader. A Leader just knows where they are going, and then people have a choice to follow or not. Have you ever heard the term Servant Leader. When I first learned about this concept it blew my mind.
You see I am not a fan of bosses; people who think they have a position of power and think they know better and need to tell people what to do. Bosses don't necessarily know where they are going they just tell people where to go, even if it is not the best path or process. A Leader will have the capability to find the best path and then have the influence for people WANT to follow or participate in the mission. While on this path the Leader is also Serving others or a greater good. What is the difference to you in a boss or a Leader? Have you ever been a servant leader?
Are you living to the Plus but improving your connections? Are you joining and connecting to groups? Are you open to be coached to get better at something you have always wanted to do? How are you getting connected and Living to the Plus?
