KAIZEN
Your Life
Kaizen is the practice of continuous
improvement. The power of kaizen is in the truth that big results come
from many small changes accumulated over time. The almost unnoticeable small
improvements compounded over time produce powerful results. Take full
responsibility for your life. Don’t get fooled by what the world tells you. Just
keep being the energizer bunny!
1.
Good habits bring good results. Attack the bad habits and replace them with good
habits. There is no magic bullet to cure deep rooted problems; many small
problems are contributing to your current situation.
2.
Grasp the current situation. Be brutally honest with yourself. Self-deception is
the road to self-destruction. Get data to understand why you are where you are.
3.
Find the truth.
Speak with data, manage by facts. Surrender to the truth and the truth will set
you free. Denying the truth will negate any efforts towards improvements.
4.
Take action to correct root causes of problems. Take a close look at behaviors. Put urgency towards
improving. Time is of the essence. There is no time to completely re-tool your
life. List and prioritize the many small changes needed.
5.
Partner with others. Find accountable partners and work as a team. Leverage the different experiences
of others. Learn from the mistakes others have made. Be open and accept
suggestions for improvements.
6.
Set realistic, small goals. Start making and never stop small improvements. Keep
working on multiple small changes at a time instead of a big change. Track
progress by keeping an eye on your score card.
7.
Don’t get fooled by the myth of overnight success. Overnight success takes decades in the making. We
will all do the work of millionaires during our lifetimes; why not become one?
