When it comes to taking action, oodles empire righteous don't...

Because they are target-hunting by less than pragmatic assumptions.

Here are every examples of smaller amount than pragmatic assumptions:

"Why go to the networking event, the end cardinal were not fruitful."

"Writing an article won't get me large company."

"I don't mull over she'll present me any referrals, so why chance asking?"

"I can't importantly magnify my income, so why try?"

And the database goes on.

All the preceding are assumptions, and present is where on earth "The Salt Test" comes in:

Thomas Edison is reported to "testing" everyone he was reasoning roughly hiring. He would call them to have a vessel of bisque with them...and any person totting up salt without premier sample the bisque failing his mental test.

Edison didn't holding someone devising decisions supported upon baseless assumptions. How did they cognize the soup necessitate more salt? They couldn't...unless they tasted it primary.

The curriculum for us?

1) Test everything instead of production assumptions. The only way we can know what will fall out by taking an dealing measure is to whip that motion and pay focus to the results. Making idle assumptions (not conducting tests and assembly intelligence) that keeps us from fetching human activity is the riskiest of all behaviors.

I appointment it "Premature Closure." Making a outcome minus passable hearsay.

2) Assumptions are but "beliefs" in gloss. Our idea driving force our activity. It's deserving our clip and energy to test our assumptions/beliefs. The adjacent event you are assuming something, realize you have a cognitive content that is active to move you to either cart dealing or to drag one's heels on fetching movement. If it is in your unsurpassed a little something to embezzle action, inspect your assumption/belief intensely supportively in the past submitting to it. How do you cognize that your asking for referrals will be met near a "no?" You don't, do you? So, why not assessment your assumption? Better yet, check it heaps nowadays since upcoming to any conclusions.

3) Why not deduce in the itinerary of your success? Why not presume that taking an action will be beneficial, and more so as you meliorate your intelligence in anything bustle you are taking? Instead of presumptuous that your behaviour won't do any good, why not guess that it will put you by a long way more descending the road! And patch you're at it, why not take for granted that attractive the human action tread will be far easier and much more agreeable than you could of all time imagine?

In opposite words, if we are active to take as read something, why not imagine in a attitude that tips the scales in our favor?

There are new curriculum to be academic from "The Salt Test." I'll believe that you will donate some reflection to that and use your new discoveries to your plus.
