Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - " Option Thinkers "

Are you an option thinker? Can you adapt to setbacks and see alternative

solutions to problems? Let's talk about the importance of option thinking

today.

One of the marks of successful individuals is the ability to move on to

another option when the one they are trying doesn't work out. They are

successful not only because they see themselves as problem solvers, but also

because their minds hold an array of alternatives.

When you watch a skillful running back moving down the field in a football

game, you're actually seeing a lesson in the exercise of option thinking.

The runner is making dozens of split-second adjustments and changes of

direction as he runs, constantly looking for openings in what may seem like

an impenetrable line of opposition. In other words, he's looking for

alternatives, thinking about his options. This kind of adaptability is

important not only in football, where things get speeded up quite a bit, but

also in life.

The more options you have, the more flexible you can be, and the more

flexible you are, the less likely you are to break when the pressure is on.

When you have options, you have choices, and when you have choices, you have

power.

So train your mind to constantly look for alternatives - other ways to see

things, other avenues to pursue, even if you don't use them. The practice

sessions will keep you in good shape when the time comes to cope with the

real thing.
