7 Ways to be unreasonable

First decide what you want to do. That would only work work and life worth living. Then find a way to do so.
Most people are turning to what they know they can do as evidence of what must be done, and I think that to get something important done in the world, we must move to want to do, and then find out how.

When most people think that committed, they believe they can build a bridge from where they are already. What will happen if you choose where you want to go, regardless of your current situation and worry about how to build this bridge?

There is nothing wrong with being reasonable, but that the "reasonableness" is a poor guide to work in the design of future actions to push. Be reasonable will help you feel secure in the feeling of knowing that your actions will prove largely the way you expect. But dangerous in the sense of producing the same results can be unpredictable, and predictable, by definition, been done before. And what has been done before is not likely to make a big difference in the future.

Seven Ways to be unreasonable.

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world, and unreasonable one persists in trying to adopt the world to himself Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." - George Bernard Shaw

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results." - Rita Mae Brown

"So what is new?" - Paul Limburg

Be reasonable

My dictionary defines a rational way as rational. Rational, he says, is to be reasonable. A vicious circle: I know I'm already in trouble. Go ahead, reasonable means also to be governed by the mind, and this in turn means explanations and justifications, and basic facts, and good governance, the nature, as well as the ability to think logically and analytically. In addition, being reasonable means being within the limits of common sense, as if to get home at a reasonable hour, and finally, this does not mean excessive or extreme.

I am very logical and analytical thinking, but the fact a "reasonable", saying it seems like a good way to build a business breakthrough?

The idea of ​​"rational way", describes something restrictive. He urges us to stay "in the box" to do what he did the wise: do not commit more than ourselves to be careful to avoid risks, to hold our assets.

What is the alternative?

Be reasonable, of course. Be reasonable, as it is more cautious cousin, suggests multiple meanings. Here are seven requests to be unreasonable.

1. Thinking outside of what is normal, clean and appropriate.

In general, one of the first things you say potential customers for me is: "But were not in our industry. How you can understand our problems, and solutions much less" My answer is always the same: "? This is the last thing you need to have a lot of people who think the same way and use ideas exaggerate. "What you think, for example, not of the traditional logic of your industry, and ideas that can bring the perspective of logic.

2. Eliminate the root causes.

There are reasons why we do things a certain way. There are several reasons why some companies approach will work and others do not. There are several reasons why you should be things as they are and not otherwise. Why challenge and ask people to put aside. We ask, "Well, if we did. What will happen after that? Is that working? What would be more effective? Really what rock you?"

3. No excuses.

When someone in your network does not produce the desired results - the results are committed, and promised themselves and perhaps their department - they usually have reason not to. Looking at it this way, you always have one or the other: the desired results or the reasons that have not yet done so. People act as if these reasons are almost as good as the results. How do I know? Because they always say something like, "Well, did not work, but why not here" or "We do not have" IT ", because ..." Or worse "We have not even tried to ..."

Remove people choose to resort to the reasons why not. Take the option to use excuses. I think everyone happens if there is no recourse to the "excuse" option - if all we can do is achieve the desired result, or try another way to get the desired result, or try another way, and so on.

4. Setting unreasonable expectations.

Ask people to go beyond what they think is reasonable or natural, and ask them to go beyond the Paris Commitments caution that cover them, make statements dangerous than titillate, but could threaten the natural order of things.

Put a giant big stakes in the ground - and understand how to connect. Understand how to convert those expectations into reality unreasonable. By adopting this approach is a significant increase in efficiency and productivity - and ultimately cash flow, and if it works well - in any business. Why should you settle - why customers to pay - what is reasonable and predictable? Why not accept the rule, means the average? Implement an unreasonable thought. Setting unreasonable expectations.

5. Make unreasonable demands.

This approach would help all the frames when working with contractors, suppliers and employees. Remember "Just say no?" Try "just ask for more than that." In wanting more, better and faster. Attach the auction. Ask people to perform their best.

This is not a negotiating tactic. These are not "biting". Asking people to perform beyond their own sense of what is reasonable. Sometimes people do not meet these obligations is reasonable - not beat them. Sometimes you will get excellent results will not you dreamed of before.

6. Prepare your projects unreasonable.

It sounds like an oxymoron? Most companies intend to get reasonable results compared with success and failure in the past, or worse, compared with the tradition of dubious industry. Instead of putting these goals, begin deeper question: it would be a big difference? What causes a breakthrough for the company? That would dramatically increase the value of shareholders' equity or profits? What would be "worth it?" Answers may not be reasonable, they can take instead to walk on the road to success is huge.

7. The term unreasonable expectations.

Most companies offer their results - sales, growth rate, and so on, depending on the results of the previous year. They call reasonable, and so they assume industry standards and consider reasonable. But in the century atheist century, driven by the rapid pace of change in all aspects of our culture, industry, and customers, companies and our workforce, and technology available - to believe that whatever date in the past year is still the same, it is not entirely reasonable, it would be absurd completely.

Take into account all the factors - bring everything you know about the situation up to date, add all the changes coming, which is expected - and used to predict the results is reasonable and unreasonable plans.

So what do you do?

If you give up any claim of rationality and logic? If you take the criteria and ignore the accumulated wisdom of your field? "It would be great if it works," you say, "but if this is not the case, and my job is at stake." Is not it? Well, yes, but ...

Thought is reasonable does not mean a no-brainer. It is reasonable to think to explore. Push the envelope. Cross-pollination. Invented intuitive. It may be that the line between unreasonable ideas silly ideas is where it stands behind the thinking. Or maybe it is only in line after it is too late.

I think that the fear of failure, fear of exposing your future, is the biggest obstacle to achieving significant results. However, the only way to create a big giants exceptional results is to take the road less traveled - to create ideas and programs that are not reasonable - and for him. If you can not people - too late perfection - Call your silly idea. But if you succeed ... Wow!
