This 30 Seconds of Self-Help is All You'll Ever Need

January 17, 2020 by Kerry Flowers Leave a Comment

At last count, the self-help industry was around a $10 billion business.

I contribute my fair share by devouring leadership, management, and business books on a regular basis.  Here's what I have noticed though.  Authors are selling what worked for THEM and hope to convince you that it will work in your situation.

Instead, wouldn't it be better if YOU were the focus?

I've done that for you below.  (You're welcome.).  Review the nine possible journeys below--each one takes about 30 seconds, hence the title of today's blog.  These journeys are one aspect of the Enneagram, a tool I use regularly to help my clients with their self-awareness.

All you have to do is figure out which journey best describes you.  Then, apply the behavior at the end of each journey to realize your potential.  It really is that simple, but as you will see, it's not easy.  (***FYI, if you already know your type, you can jump down to your journey and reflect! ***)

Let's get started!

Journey #1 -- The Journey of the Perfectionist

 

Journey #2 -- The Journey of the Helper

Journey #3 -- The Journey of the Performer

Journey #4 --  The Journey of the Romantic

Journey #5 -- The Journey of the Investigator

Journey #6 -- The Journey of the Questioner

Journey #7 -- The Journey of the Epicure

Journey #8 -- The Journey of the Challenger

Journey #9 -- The Journey of the Peacekeeper

To be the best leader you can be, you must FINISH your journey.  It is very difficult to apply someone else's success and make it your own. It's even more difficult to sustain.  That is why self-help should be so personal.

Conquer yourself first, and then the world is your oyster!

Good luck!  If you need help figuring out your journey, or want to know more about how I use the Enneagram in leadership, email me at info@flowerscg.com.
