Saturday morning starts with a tough workout with Babs, my personal trainer. Over the years, she has taught me a lot about the proper technique. When we first started, she would almost always tell me to stop and start over. After a reprimand for using momentum, she would instruct on the proper technique.
This week, she was reflecting that her regular group of people know the connection between mind and body, enabling utilization of the proper technique. Momentum is easier as the motion propels the weights or the body in a direction. With momentum, and not having proper technique, it is possible to get hurt or create an out of balance in the body.
Business is the same way. Getting momentum can be a little tough at first. But once things start moving, the momentum can propel the business forward. And while having momentum is critically important, it should never be at the sacrifice of technique. Without proper technique (skills, capabilities and focus), the business may veer off course, having a negative impact that may be detrimental long-term. How are you differentiating between momentum and technique in your business? What can you do to refocus on technique?
