Agreed, but overstrategizing and getting demotivated with failure can quickly deter you from your path. I believe that both are important when pursuing a different direction.DANAWEB wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 08:27 For me one of the most important points put forward by the author in this book is "When you want to change, strategies are more helpful than will power."
I find this true in every aspect, whether it is about our personal lives or about our career, or even in the work place scenarios.
When we consider our careers, everyone of us do want to make a move to another career or another work place at some point. However, unable to have a clear plan or a step by step approach as to what needs to be done on a consistent basis in order to succeed the chosen path.
Most of us has the will power, however we will not be successful if we do not have a clear strategy to follow our dream.
What are your thoughts on "When you want to change, strategies are more helpful than will power.?

On the other end of the spectrum, if you use your willpower to take massive action in your life without any strategy, there is a strong possibility you will not obtain the desired result. Why? Simply because of lack of knowledge, experience, and strategy. By crude luck, maybe you can get to the desired result. But the chances would be very slim. Most likely you will take some impulsive decision which will further worsen your problems.
