Good teams get it right about half the time. Great teams work hard, build skill, and get it right most of the time. Exceptional teams excel because they critically review even their best performances to see what wasn't perfect that they could learn from and do better on the next time. It is a process that some call Plan-Do-Review and it was essential to high performance in the nuclear submarine force and for every team I've been on since.

I describe two ways to look at using your current resources or advantages you have to pivot your personal life, your business, or both. First is reflection on Darren Hardy's recent Darren Daily episode on Time-Money-Wealth and using 2 of the 3 to obtain the other one. The second is similar and forms the backbone of our strategy at Paradigm Life: Cash Flow-Protection-Wealth. These three must all be in place in the end to ensure success, but you can use two of the three to achieve the desired result. However, history shows in most cases you cannot successfully use just one to get all three.
