Friday reflections for you: Much of my time is spent helping people explore their options, identify opportunities, offer solutions and clear the path to greater success, profitability and rewards. Fortunately, we have an incredible clientele who realizes the roles we all must play.
There are plenty of others and we hear the stories.
No matter how much time and brain power you share based on a request or a goal, some still elect/choose (refuse?!) not to participate in their own success.
They want your silver bullet, but forgot to learn how, when and where to fire it off. Their only move usually seeks to place blame on others for their inaction. Yes, right here in the professional realm.
What do you do?
⏲️I spend zero hours 'making' people do anything.
Do I influence and provide support? Of course.
Can I take their hands and feet and 'make' them do what they should? No.
My abilities to create action are better than average, yours also. But it requires a willing, capable partner. The same is true in life at work, home, relationships, everything.
Imagine...
📉Going to the Doctor to secure a remedy, buying the prescription and leaving it on the table.
👉The most successful professionals and partners know they will need to do their part. It might not require a lot of time or effort, but they are the only one who can make those choices.
Perhaps the wise farmer said it best 100 years ago, "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink." 🐎🐎🐎
I'll add this to close... sometimes, the horses still won't drop their head and drink, even as they tell you they are dying of thirst! 👀👀👀😵💫🐎
Invest your time on the horses you know will do the work.
I'm betting both of you will win.🥇
