Happy new year! As I write this, I’m in Mexico, about to start ten days of rest, relaxation and recuperation. This article is the second to last thing on my “to do” list, then I’m going to unplug. In this series of 3 articles I’m going to offer some tips that can help you experience more clarity, enjoyment and results in 2013 and beyond. Specifically, you’re going to discover how to get maximum leverage for any goals, dreams and resolutions you may have (whether you have any, or even if you choose to travel “goal-free”!)

Leverage Point #1 – Clarity of Understanding
Your understanding of how life works is your biggest leverage point for any endeavour. Just as your understanding of automobiles determines your ability to repair a car, and your understanding of diet and nutrition determines your ability to make healthy food choices, your understanding of how life works (and how the mind works) determines your ability to have a fulfilling experience and create the results that matter to you.

Clarity: the killer app

This blog post is adapted from the introduction of my forthcoming book, Clarity, due to be published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd in the first half of 2013.

“If a pond is clouded with mud, there’s nothing you can do to make the water clear. But if you allow the mud to settle, it will clear on its own, because clarity is the water’s natural state.”

Clarity is your mind’s natural state.

For many years, I’ve been sharing this simple metaphor in workshops and seminars with business leaders, entrepreneurs, professional change-workers and private individuals. As people allow their mud to settle, clarity emerges, and they discover they have what they need for the job at hand.

So what is clarity, and why does it matter? How does clarity work, and why do so many people struggle to find it? Most importantly, how can you find the clarity you need and start benefitting from it?

The night before last, marketing maven Nick James interviewed me on the "inner game" of business. Specifically, we focused on 5 "mind-viruses" that get in the way when people are going out to attract client. These "mind-viruses" are common examples of thinking that looks real, and that stops people making progress when they don't understand how it works.

Also, quick question: who do you know who's been struggling to find clients and build their business? If you share this with them, you could be their hero!

Enjoy!

Navigating in times of Uncertainty, Complexity and Chaos – Part Three

Posted on October 5, 2012 by Dzidek Sabat

“The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and the way people think.”
– Gregory Bateson

In part one and part two of this series, we looked at the waves that are shaping the modern world, and at how the third wave (the information revolution) is resulting in time-scarcity, information overload and attention-poverty (in addition to cool phones, social media and instant information). In this article we’re going to explore the 4th wave (the thought revolution), and how an understanding of CLARITY can make a huge difference to your ability to navigate (and generate value from) the seeming chaos, complexity and uncertainty being created by the waves of change.
