Path Selection


Choose a path or take your chances. Often, and repeatedly, we are faced with situations which can be tactical, or strategic (or knowingly or unknowingly, both). In each of those situations it falls to us to chose the most advantageous conditions possible and thereby increase our chances for success. We have to ensure our choices are conscious choices, which means we have to ensure they are not:
  • Knee-jerk reactions
  • What we always do (which can often just be intellectual laziness)
  • Made without an assessment of potential consequences or outcomes
  • Made without an understanding of the “good business reasons” for the path we chose
  • Made without employment of those strengths we possess which will help us here
  • Made without consulting with available resources who could help us win
 
At the end of it, we must choose a path, and know why we chose it, or take our chances at success. I don’t know about you, but I like to reduce the odds against me succeeding, and I like winning.

Thanks for playing.
