The Break-Out Strategy

You’ll hear this from coaches a lot. “What’s our break-out?” “How do we get the – (whatever sport it is we’re playing) – out of our zone and into theirs?” The same goes for your career.

I want an Easy Life

Great – start with the end goal in mind. It’s not going to come to you on a silver platter.

Whether it’s the project status report, your list of bugs, tasks being completed, work in the queue, the success of that last campaign or “fill in task related to your job here”. And all they want to hear is some combination of… Yes, we are on time. Yes, it’s done. Yes, there are no issues. Yes, we can do more in less time. Yes. Yes. Yes. When all these Yeses go against what you know is wrong, it’s time to re-evaluate whether you should be saying Yes to the job you are in.
