BRX Pro Tip: Letting it Happen vs Making it Happen
Stone Payton: And we’re back with Business RadioX Pro Tips, Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, one of my favorite ways to close out so many of my email communications has something to do with phrasing like, and we’ll make it happen or let’s make it happen. But talk a little bit about making it happen versus letting it happen.
Lee Kantor: Yeah, I think that there has to be a balance between the two. Making it happen, obviously, you are trying to take control of the situation and make whatever happened happen. But in some cases, you know, kind of the universe is going to do what it does and sometimes you have to just let things happen.
Lee Kantor: So, when you balance that action, balancing action with openness is really what we’re talking about here. So, when you’re faced with a choice between making it happen and letting it happen, remember that success often comes from a blend of both. So, you always want to take proactive steps towards your goals – plan, prepare, act decisively. But you also have to kind of be open to the unexpected opportunities and the unexpected outcomes that occur.
Lee Kantor: So, sometimes the best results are going to come when you allow space for some sort of flexibility and allow kind of some slack in the line and trust the process. So, in other words, you want to steer your ship with intention, but you have to be ready to adjust your sails when the winds change.
