The Human Mind
Businesses are built by people for people.
Understanding how we take in information,
how we make decisions, and how we decide
what to do or what not to do is critically important
if you want to create and sustain a successful business venture.
Guiding Structure
“Your environment will eat your goals and plans for breakfast.” — Steve Pavlina, author of Personal Development for Smart People and blogger at stevepavlina.com
Key Ideas:
- Guiding Structure means the structure of your Environment is the largest determinant of your behavior.
- If you want to successfully change a behavior, change the structure that influences or supports the behavior first, and the behavior will follow.
- Don’t try to change your behavior directly, that requires a lot more willpower. It’s easier to focus on the Environment.
Questions for Consideration:
- How is your current environment affecting your behavior?
- How can you change the structure of your environment to make it easier to get things done
