Imagine you are a juggler, all the balls are in the air, everything is in balance. You are super focused on all the balls. Drop one and you have failed.
Do you want to juggle your whole life? Balance is not what you want, stability is.
A pyramid is inherently stable, no need to focus on it to keep it upright, no need for bracing either. It will take a lot of concerted effort to knock it down.
Build your life like a pyramid and you will weather most storms.
However, we need to add mobility to our stable lifestyle.
If we do too good a job at building our pyramid, we risk not going anywhere, no more challenges, no more opportunities. Just too boring for most entrepreneurs.
The “three point climbing system” offers you those opportunities.
This system is simple—always maintain one hand and two feet, or two hands and one foot, when climbing or descending ladders.
When you are climbing the ladder, you are not focusing real hard on the ladder. No juggling here. You have time to look around and evaluate what you are going to do on that ladder or where you are going. The three points will hold you steady.
The fourth support is the key element for entrepreneurs: now you have a hand available to grab opportunities and you will not fall off the ladder of success.
Question: What are some areas in life that are your important pillars? Which pillars are you having difficulty with?
