Strategy For Success

This week I want to talk about a strategy for success.  

Before diving into strategy, let’s clarify two terms you may know:  

  •  Technical Change 

  • Adaptive Change 

When it comes to setting goals, change drives results. As I mentioned last week, real change comes from transformation, not just changing behavior.  

In this context:  

  •  Technical change relates to behavior.  

  • Adaptive change relates to transformation.  

In traditional goal setting, you identify a desired result and then make a technical change to reach that result. However, this often leads to resistance against the technical change. This resistance can frustrate you and make you feel like giving up, leading you to believe you cannot succeed.  

So, what’s the issue?  

The issue is that you haven’t recognized a crucial aspect of success: Adaptive change. Without mastering adaptive change, trying to achieve your goals is like pulling a cart without a horse—it simply won’t work.  

Traditional goal setting might make you think that finding the right cart will get you to your dream life. You might keep switching carts, hoping this one will work. But it often doesn’t.  

Think about it: you may have tried numerous programs, diets, or strategies and still feel stuck, trying to achieve results without the necessary support.  

In this analogy:  

  • The cart represents technical change (behavior).  

  • The horse represents adaptive change (transformation).  

So, how does adaptive change work?  

Adaptive change means learning to handle internal and external resistance in a way that feels right for you. 

A strong horse can pull any cart.  

You cannot effectively implement a technical change—like a program or strategy—without first mastering adaptive change.  

Mastering adaptive change is what THE V.A.L.U.E. GOAL™ is all about.

The strategy for success…

Achieving a result without starting over to tackle internal and external resistance each time.  

When you master adaptive change, you will see progress each time you encounter a challenge. Adaptive change is dynamic, meaning it evolves as you do. You will learn to navigate resistance better, allowing you to move through obstacles more quickly each time.  

Even though adaptive change may seem slow at first, it is faster in the long run. Once you master it, you won’t have to relearn it; you can simply apply what you know and continue.
