Recently I heard a story of the flea and the glass. You’re probably wondering what the story has to do with you. I will explain how this experiment could explain what is holding you back in your career.
Scientists were experimenting with fleas. The fleas were put on a table and jumped 12 inches high without any problems. The scientists then put a tall glass over the fleas and they only jumped 3 inches high. They repeated this process for 30 days and each day the fleas only jumped 3 inches high. They then took the glass away and guess what happened? The flea only jumped 3 inches high.
Can you identify your glass? Is it a lack of self confidence? Is it the fear of failure or the fear of success? Could it be your financial conditioning? Does your glass represent bad habits you’ve developed? Does your glass represent your tendency to procrastinate? Does it represent the fact that you don’t set aggressive goals for yourself? Does it represent the fact that you don’t know your numbers, so you don’t know what RESULTS you need on a daily basis?
The “glass” could also represent people who are negative in your life. It could be people who are opinionated about what you CAN or CAN NOT accomplish. You need to classify these influences as “NOISE”, and ignore them as much as possible.
If you want to advance your career, you need to make changes. Identifying what it is that holds you back is a great first step in realizing a higher level of success.
For the next 30 days….
Identify the NOISE in your life.
Identify three things you do that are a major waste of your time and stop doing them.
Identify the 20% of your actions that provides 80% of your results - and do more of those activities.
Once you are “aware” of your glass, you can remove it and then there is no limit to how high you can jump!

HOT TOPIC
Back to School - Back to your Job Search! Think of all the attention and preparation that is given to children returning to school. Parents face the added responsibilities of registering their children, getting the appropriate vaccinations, shopping for school clothes, school supplies and finishing various other tasks in order to make the transition from summer to school as smooth as possible. Children are experiencing a combination of excitement, apprehension and unhappiness because summer is coming to a close.
What preparations have you made to return to work? Have you added your resume to the job boards? Have you registered with an employment firm? Have you sent your resume directly to hiring authorities at your target companies? Have you put in the extra effort and time it takes to make your journey from unemployed to being employed as smooth as possible? Do you dress appropriately for interviews? Do you often feel excitement about a new opportunity but then get taken over by the fear of rejection?
As kids go back to school, you need to go back to a full fledged job search with a high level of enthusiasm and positive expectations. Be the most prepared job seeker and look forward to enjoying positive results.
