How
To Go From Underdog To Over Load
By
Phoebe Luckhurst
- CHANGE THE RECORD
Change your
definition of an advantage and work out a creative way to beat the big guy.
- TAKE THE RISK
- DON’T BE THE LITTLE FISH
Find your own
pond to dominate instead of joining the shoal of little fish in the bottomless
sea. Be entrepreneurial; speak out if
you want something to change, and if it doesn’t, look elsewhere.
- PROS AND CONS 2.0
Think laterally
and about the long term implications of pros and cons. Sometimes it’s not about the big name but
picking the option that best suits you.
- FORGET THE HATERS
What matters is
not just how smart you are. It’s how
smart you feel relative to other people.
Don’t compare yourself to other people; it shifts the focus from
yourself which can slow you down.
- WHAT DISADVANTAGE?
What doesn’t
kill us makes us stronger. Try something
unfamiliar, then replicate the energy.
- PREPARE TO FAIL
You won’t win every
time but that’s ok. Learning how to deal
with the possibility of failure is really good preparation for a career in the
business world.
- BE BRAVE
Courage is what
you earn when you’ve been through the tough times and you discover that they
aren’t so tough after all. Give yourself
a pat in the back and recapture the inner strength.
- ACCEPT THAT YOU HAVE TO MOVE ON
Don’t
get clingy; just accept your solution is wrong and change your tactics.
- CARPE DREM
Sometimes
no plans is a perfectly good plan.
