When you’re talking with friends or colleagues at work or wherever, I’m sure you’ve heard many people say something like, “I’ll give that a try,” when talking about something related to accomplishing something.
I’m not talking about trying a new soup, movie or dish at the restaurant, but something important, that could make a difference in their business or personal life.
The problem is, that they are setting themselves up for failure in most cases when making that statement.
Let me give you an example.
You can do this exercise right now, as you read this.
Do this as you read each sentence, but don’t read on until you’ve done the steps…
Here we go.
- First sit in a chair.
- Now, try and stand up.
OK, what happened?
I’ll bet you stood up, right?
OK, if that’s the case, you didn’t follow my instructions, because what I said was to “try and stand up.” Instead, you just did it, you stood up.
Now you can repeat the process if you like and I’ve done this presentation live on stage in front of thousands of people and when they “get it,” it can be a revelation.
You can’t just “try and stand up,” you either do it, or you don’t.
Going back to my example of “giving that a try,” – this is more than just bad terminology, you’re setting yourself to just try, instead of just doing it.
My suggestion is that you should eliminate the word “try” from your vocabulary in virtually all cases.
When you make a decision to “do” something in your life, whether in business or personally, “do it!”
Set yourself up for success by deciding to make it happen. You want to make a strong positive statement to yourself that you are going to do it.
So stop “trying” and start “doing.”
And if you want to do this with gusto and you want a simple process that gives you a step-by-step system to “DO,” check out the short explanation video of my “Achievers Formula.”
It’s far more power than just showing how to just do it, it actually gives you everything you need you create power-habits of success in all areas of your life!
Everyone, that has implemented the formula sees amazing changes in their lives, many starting in just days!
