🦵E. Take One Baby Step
After you have written the causes(and you don’t have to be perfect) think of one thing you can do to reduce any of the ten for the next 30 days(not involving others).
Examples of baby steps(Refer to the six sample problems at the beginning of the article)
- Become fitter, and more confident by walking 6km every day. (If you look good, a better partner will take notice of you, and you don’t have to become clingy with the fear of losing the partner, because you are confident yourself)
- Start writing a blog every day about the experience you gained on the job. (When you start writing, people will take notice of you, rather than you having to reach out to people looking for jobs).
- Start sleeping early, and wake up early. Stop using your mobile before sleep. (bettering sleep betters cardiovascular health)
- You and your partner go out for a walk daily and converse about life for 30 minutes(by talking with each other a couple can significantly increase their attachment and attraction to each other. Once attraction increases, intimacy also will increase, which will eventually bring a child into your life in the future).
- Rather than wasting your time in the court-rooms and aggression, start putting more hours into your work, improve your earnings and career(by becoming more successful in your career, by achieving more, you will become more confident and will have fewer insecurities, chances are your partners would want to come back to your life due to your new successful avatar).
- Leave the dream of raising millions of dollars, instead focusing on selling one service that will bring surplus money so that you can run your family with the money. (When you run a profitable business, investors would take notice and would want to take a position by investing money in you).
By writing the steps, committing to the steps, and following the baby steps for 30 days, you redirect your energy and attention back to real life rather than imagination.
Once you cross the 30 days, you will see that you are no more struck and there is all-new energy in you and you are moving ahead in life, confirming that the problems are not really your life. You will also notice that due to the problem, you are doing much better in life.
Now plan another set of baby steps for 30 days for the second cause and the third.
Case Study: How one baby step of one article a day created the Lyfas brand
Lyfas is essentially a platform that has a mobile diagnostic solution that enables a quick diagnosis of various disorders anytime, anywhere from an Android application. Then the data is linked to the self-assessment platform of this website. The data is then linked to the patient’s history and family history. Then the data is correlated to a patient’s vitals and a patient’s pathology test results. Finally, an integrated diagnosis is arrived at that explains the overall health of a patient. Then our team of human experts analyzes the diagnosis and creates a comprehensive lifestyle plan for the patient to recover. Everything is done from the home setup.
In today’s healthcare which is mainly disease and symptom management, Lyfas has solved critical problems like Stammering, Tinnitus, Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease, and Back Pain and we have solved 95% of cases where the patients never had to take any medicines in life anymore.
Even though we have great technology, a robust process, an extraordinary human support system, and exceptional outcomes, our key challenge has been to make people believe in our system. In today’s time where medicine is all about glittering hospitals and expensive tests and medicines, it has been difficult to bring patients and convince them that we will not treat them, but solve their problems. People’s perception is “How come they solve complex problems of life and health which we have not being able to solve even after spending lakhs of rupees for the last ten years.”
Initially, we tried too hard to convince people. Then we completely altered ourselves and became like a traditional medical company with home diagnostics and medicines. Finally, we realize that there is no escape from the perception and you can not solve the problem by finding any magic solution.
We detached the problem from the perception and from the business(our life). We analyzed the reason someone wants to get rid of an illness to have a good life. But even when one is not ill, one has several life challenges that wouldn’t allow people to remain happy even though they become healthy. We realized that everyone wants to grow in life.
That is when we created this Lyfas knowledgebase. We decided to take on one small problem from people’s life and provide deeper meaning and actionable steps to the readers. The more they start seeing benefits in their life, the more they will develop trust for us. Once they trust us, they would also want to get their illness treated and solved by us.
Today our marketing expenditure is zero. Patients are our sales and marketing team. Readers are our ambassadors. Today readers like you subscribe to us, and read us daily with our 7 AM IST daily articles. Readers like you spread our messages, and then readers like you reach out to us with other serious health and life problems.
We took one baby step of one article a day. We have been publishing one article daily in this site and in Linkedin for over four years. Today we are no more worried about people’s perception and we do not blame the system. Today we have taken action that is giving us the results.
You also need to think like the Lyfas team. Rather than trying hard to escape from the problem, trying hard to prove people wrong, or trying hard to blame others and systems, think of one thing that you can do. Take that baby step and become consistent with that step. Over a period of time this consistency is going to give you the dividence in life.
