This section focuses on the next step to take on the systemic thinking journey towards turning your situation around.

 

Not taking a step IS taking a step!

Congratulations! By reading this far, you've taken a giant step towards thinking systemically.
It is only the first step, however. Your next step is crucial.
Even if your next step isn't deliberate, you are about to take a next step.
If you choose to pursue this way of thinking you'll get better and better at it. If you don't, you'll get better and better at your current way of thinking.
Practice makes perfect!
Your brain is a dynamic system, you see. It isn't static.
Not doing one thing is doing something else. There are no non-events in the systemic world! Everything affects everything else.

You are entering a mindfield!

A mindfield laid by your own brain. It will do anything to stop you from taking the systemic approach.
You can't blame it. That's it's job - to stop you from doing stupid things. And the systemic approach seems stupid to your brain - until it becomes expert at it. It doesn't matter how much sense it makes. It doesn't matter what good results other people - or even you - get.
The old way is much better - because your brain's expert at the old way.
It will come up with any excuse in the book - and a few invented on the fly - to prevent you from getting the practise you need to become expert at the systemic approach.

You have 5 basic options

1. Discard the concept as of little use to you.
The best option if the concept hasn't grabbed you and you aren't zapped by an unexpected insight in the next few days.

2. Postpone doing something with it for the moment.
The best option if the mindfield responses don't help you, but you would like to do something about it in the future. Click here

3. Take things forward alone from here. The best option if our style doesn't appeal to you.
5. Go through one of our programs.
The best option if the concept has turned you on or you've been zapped by an unexpected insight since being exposed to our
material. Click here

4. Strike up a conversation with us on how you could apply the concept to your situation. The best option if none of the others appeals to you.
Just send us an email to start the ball rolling!

If you ever find yourself

procrastinating,

 

in a quandary,

 

overwhelmed

trapped or
desperate,
- realise that you're dealing with something systemic - something that ordinary intuition is insufficient for - something systemic - and act accordingly.
By the way, can you see why it's so difficult to make a decision when you're in spot like this?
