Often we focus on the end result or the total but we have to keep an eye on what actually makes up the total. These inputs in our lives are often in our control and if focused on can increase. For instance in business I've learned that skills + numbers = results.
I'm in control of the inputs on the left of the equation.
Skills can be increased by training, failing forward, repetition, focusing on the blessings in life, and so many other things. It all has to start with humility otherwise the lessons may come but we will think they are not for us.
Numbers are another input in our control. Someone who has skill to sell 50% of prospects but talks to 10 people will have 5 sales. Someone who has 5x less of a closing ratio at only 10% but talks to 100 will have twice as many sales (10) what if they talked to 1,000 they'd have 100 sales compared to only 5.
This is basic and simple but most of success is not that complicated. It's facing up to the truth and then getting to work.
Skills increase + numbers increase = results increase
