 Dear [subscriber-firstname],
Today I've been shopping for reward where reward is due. I purchased a new computer keyboard and didn't remove the lettering. Let me explain - over the last few years whilst interviewing young women for clerical positions at our office, it has become painfully obvious that leaving school with an ability to touch type with any level of accuracy is no longer a priority. Sure they can text message 'til the cows come home - but accurately type, well that's a whole different story.
Determined not to be guilty of adding to the 'touch typing deficit disorder' gene pool, I decided to tackle this issue head on with my own daughter Maddison who has just turned 12. What I implemented was a very simple technique that I have used over the years to expand my own business expertise and knowledge. I simply took away the safety net that was hindering her potential by removing all lettering from the keyboard on her computer. And, as would be expected, one year later she is a touch typist. Her reward after mastering this skill? The new keyboard I purchased today whilst out shopping, but she wasn't that fussed when I presented it to her - says she doesn't need to see them now!
You see, if we are really interested in accessing something, and in Maddison's case it was playing Club Penguin, Pet Society and chatting to her friends on msn, we will learn the 'how to' of getting there.
What safety nets are you relying upon and how much are they sabotaging you from reaching your full potential in career and business? Have a think about removing a few of them and allowing your success to unfold - you might just surprise yourself.
