How to have a BREAKthrough


This may be a strange question…

… But have you ever wondered where the origin of the word breakthrough comes from?

I didn’t…but when I learned it really “clicked” for me.

And it helped me make strides in my business faster than ever.

Let’s “break” it down…

If you think about it…

How does a word that has a positive connotation start with a word we typically use for a negative?

Feels off, right?

BREAK.

Through.

BREAK is in all caps because you have to take a break if you want to have breakthroughs.

That could be a full week break from work in the tropics…

Or it could be as simple as taking a walk in the middle of a work day…

Or taking a complete break from technology.

Why? Well, your brain needs breaks in order to have breakthroughs.

That’s how it functions.

Pushing harder when things aren’t going your way is not the way to do it.

I’ve tried.

Maybe you have too.

Things never quite “click” the way you’d like.

… But when you take a walk, take a shower, or cook dinner?

Ideas come to you.

Your brain simply can’t be ON all the time.

It needs OFF time.

… Because the subconscious part of your brain is about 30,000 times more powerful than the conscious part of your brain.

So if you’re struggling right now…

Or wrestling with a problem…

Or pushing super hard with no success…

I’d argue you need a BREAK.

Who knows, a BREAKthrough might just be on the other side.

Life isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon.

“I think I need to take more sales calls.” I told my girlfriend. She said, “Why?” “You hate doing them. So why do them? How can you get more clients without taking calls?” She goes on. And that was it. My hand smacks my forehead. My lightbulb moment. Why would I force myself into something I dread? Especially when I could focus on a better way. A way that felt natural to me. A way that wouldn’t burn me out. A way that would be more profitable for me in the long term. A way that actually built...
