The “Do This Until” Approach

– a conversation with Patty Dominguez

It’s normal to have ups and downs in your career.

When you’re doing something new – especially something you’ve personally decided to do – you’re probably full of inspiration, excited to get started, and convinced how great this is going to be.

Then, things don’t go quite as planned. It’s not as easy as you thought. You’re not making the impact you expected.

You may feel despair. You might be saying, “Why is this happening to me?” Perhaps you even have that “wall-kicking moment.”

Can you relate?

This is the point where many people retreat back into their comfort zone and give up.

But successful people do something different.

They look at what they can learn and fix. They work through the situation.

You can do that too. It’s your choice.

In my conversation with Patty Dominguez, Founder of Positioning To Profit, in Episode 144 of the Sasuga! Podcast, you’ll hear

How, in her corporate days, Patty was so in control of control that she was out of control
How saying “No” and asking for help more can actually win you awards
Patty’s high-leverage time – her morning routine – to set herself up for success each day

Enjoy!
