HOLES OF THE SWISS CHEESE LINING UP

So here's my first post of substance.

As a pilot, we train very intensely in the art of risk mitigation.

Flying an aircraft requires being put in situations that are risky, (sorry I have to break it to you, you nervous flyers). It is a simple fact of life! Yet, systems are in place to make flying THE SAFEST forms of travel in history! In Aviation, there are many systems to lower risk this post concentrates on a model called: Swiss Cheese Model.


Lowering risk while still getting the best outcome is at the heart of each stage of the process of change.         

The chart above talks about hazards, losses, pathogens and active failures...
How does this apply to your life and getting ahead?

It applies on many levels. At the beginning of your journey. You should be aware that something isn't quite right. Whether it is changes to the economy causing your job to be at risk or changes to health: the list is endless. The one hole on that Swiss cheese diagram that you really change are your actions. You are control of yourself. Your action to do something about your deteriorating situation will stop all the holes from lining up thereby stopping the bad outcome. If all the holes line up, due to your lack of action, the path is complete and financial ruin begins. 


I am preaching to the converted. You know something needs improving. you know change is needed because something isn't quite right. Hopefully I provided you with a simple model to understand how powerful your actions can change you and your situation.
 

Cheers,

Thanks for checking out my blog.

I have decided to start a blog to help provide some focus to your goals in life.

I intend to point out to you some concepts and ideas to help you improve your ability to get ahead in life.

I truly believe that everything stems from your view of the world, alternatively this can be expressed through your philosophy. I will discuss how to fine tune your philosophy. I will give you "food for thought", stimulate ideas. They say talk is cheap. I say ideas are free!

There is no harm in trying on ideas. This allows you to try a path in life on for size with no harm done! Think of it as a simulation, something not real: a movie!

Once this basic outline of what you to do and who you want to become gets firmly in your mind, I will help you with the details that' ll help you get from where you are to where you want to be.

Of course, once you start to change things, unintended things happen to crop up. We'll work through those as well.

As your path progresses and you want more help, my role would change. Do you become so busy that a personal assistant would be helpful? Allowing you to do more of the important stuff that adds value?

Send me an email, I would be most interested to hear from you. My fee structure isn't rigid since everyone's needs are so radically different. The best thing to is to contact me and we can talk about services that meet your needs and fees that don't hurt your wallet.

Thanks for reading my blog, come back again as I will make posts on it from time to time.
