What Could You Be Wrong About?

January 9, 2019 By Joel Runyon Leave a Comment

In my latest annual review, not a lot of things went well. It got a little laborious to keep reviewing what specifically went wrong because the list just kept looking like “all of it.”

So after beating myself up a bit, I shifted and started to ask myself another question:

What might you be wrong about?

This is a lot less fun of a question so ask. With “what” went wrong – it’s easy to blame stuff – not named you – for things that happened. It’s easy to shove off blame and focus on someone or something else.

But when you ask “what might you be wrong about” – you have to sit with it and it starts to suck.

Because if you’re quiet long enough – some of the stuff starts to bubble up.

Stuff that you’d rather not think too much about.

  • You’re not disciplined enough.
  • You sleep too much.
  • You don’t follow through on the things you say you’re going to do.
  • You’re a disorganized mess – personally and financially.
  • You confuse thinking or saying you’re doing something with actually doing it.

What might you be wrong about?

What things in your current operating system are off? Because if you keep running the safe software and running into the same bugs, it might not be the software’s fault. It’s just running buggy code.

When it comes to your life – who wrote that code?

Bingo.

  • Not making enough money?
  • Not at the fitness level you want to be?
  • Not seeing the business progress you want to.

Maybe you don’t need to do it bigger, better, stronger, faster.

Maybe you’ve got something wrong.

Maybe you need to do something differently.

And maybe if you changed, you’d be able to fix it.

What might you be wrong about?

What could you do to change this?
