Episode 7: Does success lead to failure?
Let's talk about success leading to failure.
Welcome to the Self-Performance-Strategies (S-P-S) Podcast.
Main quote:
"Knowing where the trap is—that's the first step in evading it."
― Frank Herbert, Dune
Main takeaways:
Are you confused about why you are stuck after succeeding?
Did you assume it would be easier?
It happens to the best:
History is littered with examples of companies mishandling their success.
One key example is Apple in the late 90s. Luckily, they recovered.
But what happened and how did you get stuck?
Let's dive in...
Part 1: Your success:
At some point, your self-performance was on point.
You had:
Clear goals
Clear targets
Clear vision
And you acted each day to make them all come true.
You created success, but…
Part 2: Opportunities:
Success leads to opportunities.
This is can be a good thing.
But you often lose sight of your original plans and goals with too many options.
You take on opportunities that don't fully align with you.
Not all opportunities are good opportunities.
Part 3: Stretched thin:
Too many options and opportunities lead to your efforts and energy being stretched thin.
You end up wondering where it all went wrong.
You have so much on you are not sure of which direction to take.
Often, you procrastinate and take no action.
Part 4: Stuck and failing:
Your confused efforts undermine the clarity that led to our success in the first place.
Leaving you stuck, failing, and overwhelmed.
Lost in a sea of confusing you realize you have to take action before your ship hits rocks and sinks.
The way out:
Remember Steve Jobs?
When he came back to Apple in 1997, he cut over 70% of the company's product line.
They were stretched too thin.
You need to do the same.
You need to get back to the clarity you had.
You need to align with your big vision for your business.
