I’m curious.
And I have a question.
Here it comes.
Have you attended a seminar designed to make you happier, richer, more successful or, maybe, somehow, a better person?
How did that go?
Did it change your life? At all?
For a while?
Even a little while?
I’m asking because of this theory of mine.
Here it is.
Seminars bent on changing something significant about you, won’t.
They won’t change a thing.
It’s because they try to effect change by focusing on doing.
Know what I mean?
They look at what you’re doing and they suggest how you should do it differently.
Then they introduce best practices so that you learn how to always do it right.
And, know what?
Channeling attention to behaviour and best practices, at least for deep-rooted, big picture items, is just plain wrong.
In my experience, focusing on behaviour and best practices changes…nothing.
I’m so convinced it’s true that I’ve got a new tagline.
This is it.
Behaviour + Best Practices = BS
So just remember.
If you want to change something about your life.
Telling yourself to change your behaviour.
Or hoping that someone else’s best practice will change you.
Is, almost guaranteed, a waste of time.
That’s my theory.
Behaviour + Best Practices = BS
