Zero Based Thinking
Have you every heard or said "If only I knew then what I know now". It is usually in the past and usually related to regret.
Zero based thinking is one of the most powerful yet simple strategies for objectively looking at your business and personal life from the outside in.
Imagine Starting Over
"Is there anything that you are doing in your business or personal life that, knowing what you now know, you wouldn't start up again today, if you had to do it over?"
Any person that you wouldn't hire? Any investment or expenditure that you wouldn't make again today? Any career decision you wouldn't make the same way? Consider all the areas of your business - product, services, customers, marketing strategies etc.
Whenever something is not working, or not working the way you expected, or causing you stress, financial losses, aggravation, or irritation, ask, "Knowing what I now know, would I get into this again today if I had to do it over?"
If the answer is "No" then your next question is "What will you do about it?" Normally there is only one answer: eliminate it and move on.
Knowing what you now know, what would you start doing that you currently don't do, if you were starting over today?
When are you going to start?
The results are extraordinary, as you eliminate negative, non-functional or even disfunctional aspects of your life, replacing them with new positive aspects. You will have higher energy, enjoy greater peace of mind, and you will be far more productive.
