Pivot, Don't Push | Mindset Monday
from The Tom Ferry Podcast Experience · host Tom Ferry
Sometimes the answer isn't to try harder. It's to try differently. We've all seen the fly that keeps slamming into the window. More effort. More force. More frustration. And yet, no breakthrough. The same thing happens in business. When something isn't working, our instinct is often to push harder. More calls. More hours. More hustle. But what if the real solution is to stop for a moment and look for a better approach? Ask for feedback. Learn from someone who's already solved the problem. Challenge the assumptions that got you stuck in the first place. Because breakthroughs rarely come from doing the same thing with more intensity. They come from gaining a new perspective. This week, ask yourself: Where am I trying to force an outcome that needs a different strategy?
