If you haven’t yet read it, we highly recommend the best-seller, “Blue Ocean Strategy,” by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne.
While the authors are writing in a business context, these principles can translate to all areas of life. The writers make a great case for growing your market share (and we would add, growing your 3 Dimensional Wealth “life-share”) by moving away from a “red ocean” mentality and toward a “blue ocean” space. CHURNING IN THE RED OCEAN By red ocean, they are drawing an analogy to the cutthroat, brutal side of the professional world where some people believe competitive maneuvering, out-strategizing, litigating, and scarcity- mindedness will lead to ultimate success. They spend most of their time thrashing about, wringing their hands over the competition and very little time focusing on their clients’ needs. What they often don’t realize is this is draining their energy and causing undue stress and worry. SMOOTH SAILING IN THE BLUE OCEAN By blue ocean, the authors are conjuring the calmness of the sea. In business, this includes those who believe there is more than enough for everyone, and an abundance-minded approach will yield better results. These folks spend most of their time focused on their clients, with competitive moves and strategies making up a small portion of their focus. These people have a sense of positive energy and peace.
Whether in your business, personal life, or relationships, remember you want to stay in that blue ocean mindset by doing the following:
