Special Ops taught me one principle. I use it to overcome 3 major business obstacles. When ambushed:
“Get off the X!”
The “X” is where:
• You’re most vulnerable
• They have the upper hand
• You’re in their killzone
Stay there?
You’re dead.
In combat, the solution is simple:
MOVE.
NOW.
In business and life?
Same principle.
Your “X” might be:
• A toxic team
• A comfort zone
• A paralyzing fear
The enemy?
• Competition
• Market changes
• Your own doubts
Here’s how I use “Get off the X” in my businesses:
– Escaping Comfort Zones
Nothing grows in Comfort zones
When safety becomes stagnation
MOVE
– Taking Decisive Action
No more “perfect moment”
No more analysis paralysis or procrastination
MOVE
– Overcoming Adversity
Stop being the target
Start being the shooter
MOVE
The question isn’t if you should move.
It’s: Why haven’t you moved yet?
What’s your “X·” today?
In combat, hesitation kills.
In life, it just feels like dying slowly.
MOVE.
PS: Enjoy this?
