Ideally there are none. But that is not the reality.
Now I see successful high achievers making the same calculations.
Often without realizing it.
In business, you’re running operations too.
But are you doing the correct strategic assessment?
Your ´casualties´ might include:
• Physical reserves drained
• Mental status overstressed
• Family connections destroyed
• Life purpose lost
In the military, we never launched a mission without asking:
“Is this target worth the projected cost?”
But in your personal campaign for success:
Are you running this same calculation?
Or are you accepting casualties by default?
Think of your core assets that aren’t on your balance sheet:
• Time (non-renewable)
• Health (hard to recover)
• Relationships (irreplaceable)
• Purpose (mission-critical)
Critical Questions:
Is your objective worth the casualties?
Are they ´acceptable´ to you?
More importantly:
Are you even attacking the right target?
In both warfare and life, not every hill is worth taking.
– Choose your battles.
– Consider your casualties. Reduce Collateral Damage where possible.
– Protect your core assets.
The mission is yours to choose.
Make it worth the sacrifice.
