Unlocking the Power of “Unless”

Written By Julie Entwistle MBA, BSc (OT), BSc.

I have decided that if I were to get a tattoo of a word, it would be "unless."

  • UNLESS you decide to do something different, nothing will change.

  • UNLESS you learn, you won't grow.

  • UNLESS you adopt a mindset of success, you will continue to fail.

  • UNLESS you do SOMETHING, NOTHING will result.

So, "unless" is my mantra of the now.

This is a great article that speaks to the value of unless...

  • Setbacks and challenges are inevitable. UNLESS you try you can't succeed.

  • Staying Resilient in business won't happen UNLESS you have a support system - including a mentor, coach, or growth group.

  • Having a Growth Mindset requires you to set goals and track progress. UNLESS you chart a path and measure your progress, you won't arrive (as quickly, anyway).

  • UNLESS you Focus on the Big Picture and then Take Action outcomes can't be achieved.

If you haven't seen the video I have on Mindset, check it out below.
