Underlying assumptions
Getting there faster is worth it…Someone will hit me if I stop…
Everyone else does it…

Underlying assumptions at work
Our competition will never catch us…
We can’t lower our costs…The market isn’t ready…
That’s the way our industry does it…
We are not logical, rational creatures!
The faster we try to go, the less rational we get

Most of the time reacting instantly does not serve us well because it usually stems from underlying assumptions and beliefs that have no basis in reality

Every time we just run or respond, we train our brains to shortcut the thinking process & react in the moment, no matter how inappropriate our reaction

Rather than simply reacting to sped & change, we need to:
Pause – stop at the red light, visit your brainThink – check your underlying thought bubbles while waiting
When you have real data to support your conclusions,put the pedal to the metal, staying within the speed limit, of course

The next time you’re tempted to run a red light in your business or in your car, take a moment to think about what’s really important. The right decision could be a lifesaver for you & your business
Practice pausing & thinking to stay focused on really
winning versus just going fast.
