See the Battlefield

In Simpleology 102, Mark Joyner recounts a story from his days as an Army officer. The crux of the lesson is this quote:

What defines a leader, more than anything else, is his ability to see the battlefield.

Communication is important, so is team building, but ultimately, you have to be able to see the big picture.

Gretzky said something about going to where the puck is going to be, not where it's been, and whether or not you subscribe to that notion, you will agree that regardless of where the puck is, if you're going to play the game, you need to make sure you're in the right rink in the first place.

Being able to see the big picture is a skill and an art. Like jigsaw puzzle, you have to focus on individual elements of the picture in order to complete it effectively, but if you can't see what the outcome is, you'll have a heck of a time knowing whether or not you're piecing it all together properly.

Simpleology 102: The Simple Science of Money, is a continuation of Mark's Simpleology 101: The Simple Science of Getting What You Want. Everything that Simpleology 101 does to organize your mind and focus your life, Simpleology 102 does for your finances - and THEN some.

Since I started implementing lessons learned in the program, I've seen a jump not only in cash flow, but in control of that cash flow. I'm making smarter investment decisions because I'm focused on the end result.

I'm able to see the battlefield more clearly.
