One-Eyed? Is it time for a fresh look?

Lisa Murray - Friday, February 12, 2010


This morning I put in a new set of contact lenses and oddly found myself still with blurry eyesight.  After some rearranging of lenses and vision checking, I discovered that I had put the same prescription into both eyes – given the difference in vision between each eye, the ‘blindness’ was considerable.  Not so bad, except that in working out how this had come to pass, I realized I’d been walking around like this for the past two weeks as well!

Which brings me to today’s business coaching question…how often are we one-eyed without noticing it?  Here’s three things you can do to stop being one-eyed in your business and your life…

  1. When you are doing something habitual, stop and ask yourself why you do it… is there a good reason or is it just a habit?
  2. Take a couple of your systems that everyone ‘knows’ and actually write down the steps – are you really following the system or are there loose approximations of it throughout your business which aren't really working?
  3. When someone throws a wedgie into your universe, do you dismiss it instantly or actually explore the possibilities?
What could you change if you stopped to ask these questions?  Would you be and do more of what’s invaluable and less of what’s valueless?
