Several weeks back I talked about the book, 10x Is Easier Than 2x. We talked about what’s your David, where Michelangelo took his block of granite, got very clear on his David and carved away everything else that wasn’t David.
I have a client that we had this discussion that he was teeter-tottering in taking action on this idea he had, and I simply asked him, “Is this your David?” His answer after some pause was an astounding, yes. We then had a discussion about getting rid of everything that wasn’t serving his David.
Now that he is now super clear on his David. Interesting to say, a week later he had a conversation with this gentleman that he happened to share his David, his story, where he was going, what he was creating. This gentleman was in flux working for an organization that just recently was bought out by a hedge fund where it went from culture focus to bottom line focus. He wasn’t feeling like he was being rewarded for all the work he put in place to help this company to achieve this level of success. When he heard this story from my client about what he was creating and where he’s going with it, he started participating in ideas of how to take it to the next level, what he could bring to the table, what he’s done with this former organization.
My client shares, “This is almost too good to be true, that I’m reading 10x and I’m getting clear on what’s my David, and then all of a sudden I’m having this conversation with this gentleman.” And this conversation is now going on for weeks of which this gentleman is going to end up being a partner of my client on this next level journey. My client mentioned, “This has to be coincidence.” I reply, “No, it wasn’t. How long did it take for him to show up once you got clear on your David?” His reply, “It was within a week.” Exactly.
That is what your David part II is. That is how it works, ladies and gentlemen, entrepreneurs, leaders, and business owners. When you get crystal, crystal, crystal clear on exactly what it looks like, your brand, your culture, your organization, who it serves, and realize this is my lane. All of a sudden, that clarity, that message travels through the universe, the universe picks it up and finds the people that need to be by your side to help you accomplish that. Some of you may believe it and some of you may not. It doesn’t matter.
However, once he got crystal clear and made a decision, yes, this is my David, this is where I’m going, this is what I need, all of a sudden, his who just happened to coincidentally show up within a week. Coincidence? I think not. If you haven’t gotten clear on your David yet, it’s time! Because once you get clear. You may be surprised on what and who shows up to help you get that David.
