Four phases of transformation
1 Inception - The AHA! Moment You're inspired and excited. You're going to lose weight and get that six pack you always wanted. You're going to start that new career. You're going to do something awesome. At this moment of inspiration you're "unconsciously incompetent." You haven't considered all the work this is going to take. You're ignorance on fire.
2 Deception - The Inspiration Hangover The idea of drinking green smoothies instead of pizza sucks. You wrote down all the things you need to do to start your new business and it's 10 pages long. Your brain begins fighting against you. You've become "consciously incompetent" Your ego likes things the way they are. You really want to quit and go back to the familiar. Even if it sucks, at least you know what to expect. You're inner dialogue turns to self-doubt. At this moment the real battle begins. You're fighting an inner war against an opponent that knows you better than anyone.
3 Transformation - The First Sign of Results If you fight hard enough, for long enough, you and the people around you begin to see the change. Your pants fit a little better. Some of the tasks of your business have become second nature. You are becoming "consciously competent". You re aware of the work you re putting in but it s a little easier now. You've come far enough now that you can look back and see the incremental changes you've made. The voice of your ego isn't as loud and the naysayers voices fall on deaf ears.
4 Identity - The New Normal Finally one day you just wake up and run. It's not a push any more. It's just what you do. You are "unconsciously competent." Your new business is running full steam and you can't remember the feeling of having a boss. Going back is no longer safe, it's a tragedy. You are what you set out to be. This is the new normal.
Get To Work and keep working until it s no longer work
