What To Do When The Grass Is Greener On The Other Side

March 13, 2014 by Marc Guberti 1 Comment

The phrase of grass being greener on the other side is a popular one. In several cases, the grass is not as green on the other side as it appears to be. However, there are some cases when the grass is much greener on the other side. Whether income on the other side is better or there is more happiness on the other side, there will be moments when the grass is greener on the other side.

The most common choice is to simply stare at the greener grass with the “I wish that was me” attitude. Looking at the greener grass on the other side does not make your situation any better. Your grass will not get any greener than it is now. In fact, the grass on your side may get worse.

The less common choice is to do what you can to make your grass greener than the other side. You do not necessarily have to convert to the other side to have greener grass. Many times, by going to the other side, you will be able to understand what you lost by going to that side. As a result, the grass on the side you left suddenly looks greener. The best thing you can do is work on making your grass greener. There is no reason to accept the rules that everyone else follows.

Don’t go for the greener grass. Make the grass you already have greener.

There Are No Limits To Success

March 13, 2014 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

The easier road is to make up your own limits. It is easier to say that your boss won’t give you a raise than it is to work more often to eventually get the raise. It is easier to say that you are not qualified to write a blog post every day. The more challenging task is to write the blog post every day and get better results.

It is easier to give ourselves limits and define our boundaries. The problem with setting limitations is that once we start, we get good at it. A 10,000 follower increase becomes the limitation for the year because that’s how much effort will be put into gaining more followers. After a few bad days, the new limitation becomes a 5,000 follower increase for the year. If that goal gets reached, it was a good year for your social network…but it could have been better.

Instead of giving myself limitations, I give myself minimums. Ever since my following count soared, I gave myself a goal to gain over 200,000 followers every year. Although that goal sounds crazy, the rate in which I have been gaining followers will result in 200,000 followers every year (as long as the rate is consistent). I could gain more than 200,000 followers, but that is my minimum.

Limits prevent growth. Setting minimums and striving to exceed those minimums encourages growth.

The Difference Between Being The Best And Showing Up

March 10, 2014 by Marc Guberti 2 Comments

Showing up is easy. You don’t have to try. You just have to be in the room.

Being the best means putting in a lot of work and effort to achieve a goal. Being the best means that you want to get better even if you are already good at something.

Getting better and wanting to get better are two different things.

Are you showing up or are you being the best?
