Are you ready to take it to the next level?

In the last post I talked about the difference between a horizontal and a dimensional shift. In the chart below you can see that hard work and an increased skill level will only move you along a horizontal level. To shift dimensionally, you will need a changed mindset. Chris Garrett brought up the shift from employee to entrepreneur so let’s use that for an example. For instance, an employee who works harder and gains more skill becomes a better employee. To become an entrepreneur requires a different way of thinking more than hard work.

So how do you know if where you want to go requires a dimensional shift or not?

The simple answer is that if hard work and increased skill doesn’t get you where you are trying to go, then you need a dimensional shift. In fact if you are trying to shift dimensionally by working harder or learning a new skill, you will end up extremely frustrated. So frustrated that eventually you will settle back down to your existing level.

Just because you call yourself an entrepreneur doesn’t mean you are. You could be an employee masquerading as a business owner. If that’s the case you will become increasingly frustrated until you just want to go back to being an employee. The only way to secure the new level is with a new way of thinking.

Make the shift!

So where do you need a mindset adjustment? What level are you trying to reach? How are you going to get there and how are you going to stay there? Let’s talk about it and see how we can help each other.
