Discovering Your Sweet Spot

In Jim Collin's classic business book "Good to Great", dozens of companies are analyzed to discover the characteristics and habits of great companies. Similar rules apply in both life and business, if you want to become great. One of his key discoveries is "The Hedgehog Concept" : simplifying a complex world into a single unifying idea that underlies and guides everything. He illustrates the idea with the story of the fox and the hedgehog. The fox is cunning, creative, sleek and able to devise complex strategies in pursuit of the hedgehog. The hedgehog, on the other hand, simply defends himself from the repeated attacks by rolling himself into an impenetrable prickly ball that has the fox outdone each time. The hedgehog always wins - by doing the same one thing each time to keep going.

In his acclaimed book, "Good to Great", Collins uses the behaviour of the hedgehog as a simple metaphor explaining the success of today's great companies. His book researches the common characteristics of 11 public companies that went from a period of providing investors with mediocre total returns, to companies providing the very best returns. In fact, exceeding those of other companies by an average of 7500 percent or more over an extended period (10 years or more). These are, in his view, the truly great American companies.

Any actions that take away energy from one's core concept in life need to be pruned. Defining your hedgehog concept is not easy and can't always be accomplished overnight. However, it is a worthy exercise for everyone to do at least once in their life. Once your underlying concept is defined, all of your efforts should be viewed through the prism of this concept. If the event, promotion, interaction, purchase, opportunity or advertisement does not strengthen your core ("one thing"), then it needs to be eliminated. Your efforts will be rewarded when your satisfactions and energies are unified toward a common goal.

The problem most people face is that no-one has properly identified the underlying causes of why they are struggling, they just know they are struggling and they don't know why? Develop the ability to immediately identify the underlying causes of your personal pains and struggles.
