“You better get busy living, because dying’s a pain in the ass.”
.
— Frank Sinatra
Have you ever had your patience wear thin?
.
How’d that work out for you?
Have you ever been so patient (slow) that you missed the opportunity? How’d you feel later?
Have you developed your Intelligent Patience for regular stuff, like everyone else… but not for jugular issues that significantly impact your life?
The success drivers for Intelligent Patience are, as you can imagine since it’s so challenging… complex!
Thus; we can choose to exercise the patience needed… to figure out Intelligent-Patience; or, just forfeit opportunities due to our lack of ability to develop Intelligent-Patience. Let’s look at a few of these success drivers and attempt to figure out how to optimize our patience.
.
Holistic-DMQ (Decision Making Quality) is paramount to Intelligent Patience. Most mistakes aren’t created by the wrong level of patience; rather, most are due to less-than-stellar DMQ. Interestingly; when things don’t turn out well, often we justify them by thinking we moved too fast, slow, etc. This is usually not the case. First; you need to determine who you really are and who you’re genuinely committed to becoming.
- What type of life do you want to lead, on the spectrum from Good Enough…to… Kick-Ass Amazing?
- What timeframe do you believe is needed for you to achieve your commitment to leading a life that’s Good Enough… to… Kick-Ass Amazing?
- What possibilities will be forfeited if you don’t choose the optimal patience level aligned with leading a life that’s Good Enough… to… Kick-Ass Amazing?
Here’s a simple scoring system to estimate your Patience Performance level, on a scale from 0 to 2,500.
Score / Scale Question
0.0 to 5.0 ——– How high is your Vision for Possibility?
0.0 to 10.0 —— How high is your Holistic-DMQ (Decision Making Quality)?
0.0 to 5.0 ——- How high is the overall patience level of your Inner-Circle?
0.0 to 10.0 —— How high is your ability to Execute-Excellently (Ex-Ex) your decisions?
Simply multiply your scores together and then divide by 2,500 to get the percent likelihood of your Success-Patience.
.
For example, if your scores are 4.0, 7.5, 3.0 and 8.0, your probability of success would be:
4.0 x 7.5 x 3.0 x 8.0 = 720 / 2,500 = 29%
