Strategic Solution Saturday

The best results come about when we not only visualize the best possible future but also make a plan to commit ourselves to achieving it!

If the rules make such a difference, then it becomes very important who gets to make them!

The real heart of strategy is the mind of the strategist!

Nothing changes by fighting reality's existence, instead build a new model forcing reality into oblivion!

Propaganda is a man's strategy to hold himself out as the righteous person he is not!

No strategy survives contact with reality, no strategy succeeds unchanged by reality!

You've got to think about big things while you're doing small things, so the small things go in the right direction!

The man of thought who will not act is ineffective; the man of action who will not think is dangerous!

Always leave a way out, unless you really want to find out how hard a man can fight when he's nothing to lose!

A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake!

Disrupting a system internally is much more powerful than disruption from the outside!

You will not be punished for your anger; rather your punishment is a by-product of your anger!

*Note - Mic audio didn't record, use subtitle file if you have it* Two constants exist in our universe, time moving forward and death. Time is the more dangerous of the two because it robs you of the things you had planned to do or would have enjoyed doing when you could, only to realize father time rushed ahead of you and negated any chance you had of doing fun activities, do what you want to do now and let time do what it does best, move forward to the next great adventure!

Speaking from a place of anger leads one to say words not meant to be heard, however the words have merit and meaning due to the fact they are authentic and honest, yet the regret from talking this way is more than most can bear!

To truly define and understand one's self, you must do a lot of things internally like meditation and reflection, this will help you successfully map a path to your goals and dreams!

You have pessimism, optimism, and leadership. Pessimists are a dime a dozen and are most helpful in keeping you grounded in reality, optimists show you different paths based on your choices, and the leader shifts himself to your path for guidance!

Our natural response to a challenge is to try to find a solution, sometimes though a scenario is presented which doesn't require a resolution, and this idea is a truth requiring acceptance!

There is a saying from Master Yoda: "Do or do not, there is no try!" Easily giving up on something you are trying for the first time is a sure fire way to discover nothing you like because your time doesn't equal the effort and you will go through your life not knowing what you want to do.

Productivity in your life can be strategized to more efficiently accomplish a task or two, instead we consider multiple tasks done in a mediocre way productive and never think twice as to what could have been!

A wise man knows to keep friends and fools alike in their circle, using the fools for bettering himself or teaching them things about life is more useful than the friends he has fooled himself into believing he knows well.

A plan devised by the loud one is the idea you want to avoid pursuing simply because they talk only, never taking action to execute. A different plan which is the start of stepping stones towards a loud plan is best and yields the greatest reward at the end!

Having a map in your life is essential, having a map of your life is existential and knowing how to access both is a skill, however both these maps are useless if you have no idea where you are going!

80/20 seems to be a standard amongst businesses and people alike, knowing how to do something is not the same as knowing how you are going to do the same thing and so you should put 80% into your strategy and 20% towards action.

Comparing strategies is always a good idea, inspiration can appear out of nowhere, yet having your plan stand out means bucking the trend of previous examples!

CEO's of companies should invest just as much or more into their strategy cascade as they do their budgeting process, resulting in a higher performance output!
