Most of us running businesses spend a great deal of that time measuring our results. We want the best results possible and often this want is left unfulfilled.
When we look at our results it is easy to see the negatives. Things missed. Tasks forgotten. Projects left incomplete.
Looking at the negatives can get us stuck in a loop. We often forget to ask ourselves key questions that can change our thinking and our outcomes.
Avoiding insanity
Can you remember the famous insanity quote?
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
Looking at just the negatives can lead us down this path. Frustrated, but still getting the same outcome.
So, what should we be doing instead?
Creating a winning recipe
If someone stopped you and asked you what would be a winning recipe for your team / your business, I bet you would know straight away what changes you would need to make to your existing arrangements.
You’d know who to train, what processes to refine, who to re-direct.
For many people, just taking the time out to think about this can make all the difference. Getting past the negatives and flipping them into something constructive or looking at what needs to be done.
Just like you need the right recipe to make a tasty cake, you need the right recipe for your team to excel to allow the results to follow.
Using the fishbone method
Many people use the fishbone technique to identify root causes for their problems.
Flipping the fishbone idea is a great way to create winning recipes for all manner of business challenges.
If you’re ready to take a few minutes out of your day, to create a plan to get you out of insanity, this is a great approach for you!
In my guide, The Reverse Fishbone, I share how to get the best out of this approach. If you want some help with creating your recipes I recommend you get a copy of the book.
I truly believe that setting your teams up to win is a key part of delivering excellent results, without the need for blood, sweat and tears.
Enjoy creating your own recipes.
