EP 45: Operating From A Position Of Strength

Professionally Offensive

Joseph shares his experience about making decisions from a strong foundation and position of strength. It's human nature to make key decision on premises of failure, risk, FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and disappointment, but you’ll find that making decisions that way often leads to a negative self-fulfilling prophecy. The decision itself is not important alone, but the successful execution of that decision is what often leads to triumph. When we make decisions, we can forget how important it is to ensure our own house is order, support systems are in place and if we can rally a belief of success. Operating from a place of strength is a mindset and mechanism that enables a violence of action, that ultimately breeds a winning outcome. Joseph shares how important it is to reflect on past wins that seemed effortless and dive into what else was going right for you, during that moment. You were likely in a good position, personally and professionally, which allowed you to have clearer thoughts and execute with swagger that enabled creative thinking, when you found friction. Circumstance won’t always be perfectly positive when making important decisions, but being aware of the cracks in your foundation will give you the grace, time or support needed to ensure a better outcome.
