by bill reeb

i believe that every day, in a way, we do exactly what we want to do or what we desire. for instance, you might be frustrated by your present weight, but if you don’t change your eating habits or exercise regimen, then you clearly do not desire to lose weight.

learn more by letting go

woman touching tablet and words "never stop learning"what you think you know might be holding you back.

by bill reeb

“let go of what you think you know” is something my mentor john’s martial arts students say and read every time we enter the school to train; it is a fundamental idea to embrace if you want to expand your ability to learn and grow. this phrase is a reminder to ensure that your existing knowledge and skill do not negatively impact your willingness to gain new knowledge and skill!

it’s funny how we think, sometimes. for example, it is not uncommon that we position ourselves on either end of a spectrum (i know something or i don’t; i have a skill or i don’t). when people think they already know something, it is hard to even get their attention to consider new ideas unless they believe someone else knows more than they do.

3 ways to emphasize the one-firm concept

large rocks in road… and 8 likely obstacles.

by bill reeb

in the past, we’ve written a multi-part series on partner compensation that started out discussing the following:

  1. the eat what you kill (ewyk) model of operations and how that impacts partner compensation
  2. the most common criteria used in ewyk partner compensation formulas
  3. the building a village (bav), or one-firm concept, model of operations and why partner voting has to be addressed to clear the way for changing partner compensation
  4. addressing the retirement issue and separating it from partner compensation so that you are finally positioned to create a bav partner compensation model

by bill reeb

look for disconnects between what you think and do. and when you find yourself taking an action that contradicts the way you have been thinking, take a moment to figure out why there is a disconnect.

when your actions and thoughts are not in congruence, know that you are setting yourself up to get stuck. doesn’t it make sense that a major source of dissatisfaction can occur anytime you are thinking one way yet acting another? if we can’t be honest with ourselves, how can we ever expect to know who we really are and what is really important to us?
