What is the essence of strategy?
Posted on April 14th, 2009 by MichaelCONTINUOUS TRAINING
When it comes to training, continuity gets the best results.
The author of The Book of Five Rings, the great Japanese Samurai swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi, wrote, “The essence of strategy is to train day and night”.
Most of us don’t need to be trained at the level of the Samurai but in a competitive world we do need some edge. The best way to secure that ‘unfair advantage’ is daily training.
Ten Minutes A Day!
Even 10 minutes a day, every day, will put you on top. If you have a continuous training system that gives you the opportunity for daily training you have a guaranteed strategy for success.
The School of Thinking’s daily training system is a simple example of continuous training.

To think is the essence of strategy, better strategy comes from better thinking, and better thinking comes from daily practice or training if you will

Being responsible for your development and daily training to me is obvious..the greater challenge it to use what you have learnt..”Use it or loose it”

Excellent results can only be reaped by doing a daily routine and practice to sharpen the sword of your intelligence to improve your intuitive abilities and cutting edge to wisdom.

In today’s world… yes… we need training, but we very much need the skill to use a figurative Samurai’s sword. We must be able to cut through “the global system that surrounds and contains us. It’s like being inside many boxes, one inside the other, each one with its own manipulative mindsets of misinformation and misdirection.
We can train ourselves to think outside of the box, only to find we are still boxed inside another box. By knowing how to control our emotions and understand the tricks that can be played on our conscious and subconscious thinking we can keep our blade of reasoning honed.
Discovering something better begins when you ask the right questions that will cut through to the truth of “What Is?” …and unbox the restraints to “What Is Possible?” JAM

..i like the idea of daily training…not just ‘like’ it, but the continuity is what i need to not fall back from constructive thinking…to not lapse.

Repetition = Ritual = Integration of behaviour = “You” at a fundamental level. You must choose your rituals wisely as they become ‘programmed in’ to your psyche.

Ten minutes a day!
I am fully convinced that daily training is necessary to get your professions on the top.

Home truths are simple, and obvious. There is a simplicity and a purity within the complexity. CVS to BVS perhaps leads us closer to the truth?

Love it, how true that is. What would happen if all, not just the business owner but all of the community spent 10 mins a day looking at 10 mins a day giving them one huge advantage.
