We Should Say I More Often, Change Your Life Now
We should find somebody to organize the warehouse.
We should find somebody to update our marketing materials.
We should find somebody to speak at our next fundraiser.
We should find somebody to head up that committee.
We should find somebody to streamline our processes.
We should find somebody who can organize our files.
We should find somebody to get our blog off the ground.
We should find someone to manage our training.
Is there somebody in your pocket? When you say “We Should” who exactly is included in your “We”?
“We” is the trap.
“We” is the belief that somebody else will do it.”
“We” never happens. The truth is there is no “We” without an “I” first.
I will get a team of managers together to organize the warehouse.
I will work with the ad agency to update our marketing materials.
I will call the founder of “insert company” to speak at our annual fundraiser.
I will form a committee.
I will hire a process management consultant.
I will manage the overhaul of our filing system.
I will learn about blogging platforms.
I will organize a monthly training session.
“We” sounds great on paper. The more the merrier so to speak but the truth is your boss, your leader, your friends, your members, your co-workers are looking for you to take the reigns.
Next time you say “We” stop yourself and feel the power of “I.”
I will change my world, I will change the world.
