Engagement in a quick discussion and moving in a controlled and quick way from A to B in a straight-line fits in the Newtonian world. The quantum world view expresses that everything is connected. It’s an acceptance that there are challenges, they are complex and recognises the need to pace the speed of work, sometimes slowing down for deeper dialogue to understand challenges, along with increased speed in other areas. If your business is feeling chaotic, you can take the quantum view accepting the challenges you have and that they will get more complex. By pacing your work and trusting that solutions are available you can be present with intention and focus. If you are doing to-do lists but it’s not moving the big priorities forward then the business is not going to get to where you want it to be By slowing down being more intentional, more focused you are going to do the things that will have an impact on your business much more quickly. BEST MOMENTS ‘To lead teams and be really effective and inspiring you need to be able to be present, you need to be an effective leader of yourself before you can effectively lead others’ ‘I have a very clear vision about where I want to go, a north star, that guides me then it’s all about goals and the steps to achieve those’ ‘If you are planning don’t have too many priorities, have 3 to5 priorities at any one time and get really focused so there is no possible way they are not going to happen’ VALUABLE RESOURCES 90 Day Business Growth Accelerator website The Prosperous Coach book by Rich Litvin & Steve Chandler The Surrender Experiment book by Michael A Singer The Road Less Stupid book by Keith Cunningham ABOUT THE HOST Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.
