For all “wants” replace with “need”

Transform your life and your business by adhereing to this basic pricinciple:  Turn “nice to do” into “need to do.” I cannot take credit for this phrase, I first heard about it in this month’s Industry Week manufacturing podcast, an interview with Jeff Frank. Jeff Frank is Lawson Software VP devoted to the issues of corporate social responsibility, CSR. You can find Jeff Frank’s personal blog here.

The paradigm shift in mindset from nice-to-do things to need-to-do things is the realization that your intuition and your desires ought to shape your life. “It would be nice to be able to travel more” turns into “I need to travel more.” Your shift in mindset changes from a glinting hope to a focused desire that will impact your decisions at work, hopefully to motivate you to work more efficiently and free up vacation time.

How can this paradigm shift impact your business? Ask yourself what it is that you have wanted to accomplish, replace “want” with “need.” This effort can broaden your mindset and set you on a refocused path to achieve your personal and business goals. And, by eliminating “want” from your vocabulary and focusing only on “need,” since to need is a stronger feeling than to want, your goals and desires will be simplified to exactly what is imperitive to move forward. Everything will fall into place.

I need you to try this.
