How will you reach your vision if you don’t believe?
Belief leads to confidence and you need confidence in order to strive towards achieving any goal.
Think about the people who had such strong beliefs in what they set out to do, ignoring those who said it was a ridiculous idea or could not be done.
Jeff Bezos and Amazon. Many thought him foolish for thinking he could build a successful online bookseller.
Steve Jobs and Apple. Many thought him foolish for thinking he could get any market share against the PC sellers.
Thomas Edison and the light bulb. Many thought him foolish for continuing to try to develop the light bulb after thousands of what others considered failures.
The list could go on and on…in fact, I’m sure you could add stories of your successes and breakthroughs in the face of opposition and adversity. I’m certain you could share countless other stories of people you’ve known who have done the same.
As a leader, it’s critical that you believe in your vision and your ability to achieve it.
Today, give some thought to how that has worked for you. Have your beliefs moved you forward to success or have they held you back?
And, how does that affect your team/organization?
