7 Keys to Stepping Up
The 7 Keys to Stepping Up by Di Browne
Why Step-up?
To improve your franchise and to improve your ability to function in the world which will improve your results.
What is stepping up about?
To me it is realising that life has challenges built in. We can’t control that but we can control how we respond to it. It’s about being responsible for your results which means letting go of denial, blame or excuses.
Taking responsibility for your results and non-results, will give you a far greater opportunity to change those very results.
It is by being resourceful that we take ownership for our results. Being resourceful is about what’s within us. That is, resources are things around us such as time, books, computers, phones and schedules. Resourcefulness is our thinking (moods, attitudes, beliefs, values, and our ability to embrace challenges and become resilient). It’s your thinking that creates your results. So when you change your thinking, it changes your results.
7 Keys to Stepping Up
1. Start with the end in mind – know why you are there and what you want to accomplish. Whatever you start know the direction in what you want to head. Know where you want to be. Know why you want what you want. Focus on where you want to be. Set a clear and specific outcome.
2. Don’t complain unless you have a solution or you want to hear a solution – it will just bring about more of what you have already got. People who struggle to step up usually find it easier to lay blame or complain. Ask yourself ‘what can I influence or control?’ We cannot control anything external to us. We can change our thinking, view point, beliefs, approach and focus. They are within your control. Pay attention to your dialogue with others and your internal dialogue and language. You can change it.
3. Ask more of yourself today than you did yesterday – keep stretching yourself. Every decision we make is shaping our future. Our future is arriving whether we want it to or not. So why not make sure you get what you want.
4. Choose your thinking – we have over 60,000 thoughts in one day. It can be the same thought over and over again. How we think shapes our lives, it determines what you will give your attention to which then determines your results. Stop beating yourself up and/or blaming others. Visualise the results you want because what you focus on is what you get.
5. Shape beliefs that will shape your ideal destiny – beliefs like, there is always a way and I can find a way.
6. Choose to do resourceful emotions –emotions we do on a consistent basis are the ones that shape our lives. Emotions such as happy, sad, energetic, flat, depressed, angry, awesome and playful. Are they empowering or disempowering. Let go of the unresourceful emotions you feel on a consistent basis.
7. Persist – the definition of excellence is to follow through to completion. Stepping up is not only about what you start but what you finish. Believe that it is possible because you will get what you expect. Eg, Placebo effect. I wonder how your results will change when you use the 7 keys to stepping up.
