Tools, Tips & How-To’s

Here’s two simple exercises to kick off your exploration so you can determine when to stay and when to leave:

Exercise #1
Do these in sequence, and take your time!

  1) Define the challenges ahead
  2) Select one challenge to address
  3) Use Foresight to create possible scenarios
  4) Select the scenario that most appeals and design a plan of action
  5) Test, test and then test some more.

Exercise #2
Reflect on these questions:

  1) What is the best thing that could happen if you go or if you stay?
  2) What is the worst thing that could happen if you go or if you stay?
  3) Will you be okay with all those possible outcomes?
  4) Will those that matter to you most be okay with these outcomes?
  5) What sacrifices will be made and by whom?
  6) Are you okay with making these sacrifices?
  7) What can you do to soften the impact?

Words to remember:

Yes, risk taking is inherently failure-prone. Otherwise, it would be called sure-thing-taking.
~ Jim McMahon

Here's a gift for you that will really help.
