How to remove (your own) mental barriers

Conventional wisdom - reflected in your own mental barriers - is a dangerous thing. It prevents you from

  • finding creative solutions,
  • overcoming obstacles easily,
  • outpacing your competitors.

Watch the commercial below and learn how to remove barriers – externally and internally in your brain.

This spot teaches us three things:

  • All obstacles are based on paradigms. You thought you have to shoot the ball over the "fixed" wall? Wrong. There are other options. Question your paradigms. Always.
  • Observe carefully. Be attentive to other people. If necessary, mirror their behavior - with your goals in mind. 
  • Innovate by adapting ideas from one area (e.g. thanking somebody) to a completely different one (shooting the ball over the wall).

What is your next goal and how easily are you going to score?
