The Journey with .2
So, why are we called .2 Performance. It’s because running a marathon is very similar to reaching your business goals …both require endurance and determination.
A marathon is a 26.2- mile journey that tests the limits of both the body and the mind, pushing you to your absolute breaking point. Reaching your business goals is a 365 day (or longer) trip of budgeting, planning, executing, and measuring…often pushing you to your absolute breaking point.
The secret to both is in that final .2—that is where you gain your ultimate advantage and determine if you succeed at reaching your goals.
That is where .2 comes in. Think of us as your team, your coach, and your unfair advantage. We understand the toughest aspects you will face on your road to success and offer effective strategies to overcome your challenges and help make your experience more manageable and rewarding.
Don’t fall short of the finish line. Stay committed, stay positive, and enjoy every step of the way with .2 on your team.
Tips to Overcome .2 Mental Barriers:
- Visualization: Regularly visualize the journey from start to finish. Picture yourself crossing the finish line strong and triumphant. This mental rehearsal can build confidence and provide motivation during the actual journey.
- Positive Self-Talk: Develop a mantra or positive affirmations to repeat during tough moments. Phrases like “I am strong,” “I can do this,” or “One step at a time” can help keep negative thoughts at bay.
- Break the journey into Segments: Instead of focusing on the entire 26.2 miles, break the journey into smaller, manageable segments. Celebrate the completion of each segment to maintain a sense of progress.
- Stay Present: Focus on your breathing, your form, and the immediate team surroundings. Staying present can prevent your mind from becoming overwhelmed by the distance ahead.
Key .2 Physical Challenges to Overcome:
- Endurance: Building the team stamina to perform for several hours.
- Strength: Developing the mind muscle strength to support long-distance journeys.
- Injury Prevention: Avoiding common injuries such as knee jerk reactions, team fractures, and industry pressures.
Tips for .2 Go-To-Market:
- Follow a Structured Training Plan: Adhere to a well-rounded training plan that gradually increases team engagement. Include a mix of long strategic planning and smaller team touch points.
- Strength Training: Incorporate strength training exercises at least twice a week. Focus on the core internal branding, team extension inclusions and communication to improve overall team form and prevent short falls.
- Cross-Training: Engage in interaction activities with cross functional teams. This helps build overall endurance and strength without the repetitive impact of circular tasks.
- Proper Nutrition: Fuel your your team with a balanced diet rich in goal objectives, facts, and healthy feedback. Stay hydrated and consider leadership supplements for long journeys.
- Listen To Your Body: Pay attention to any signs of pain or discomfort amongst your team and greater influences. Address minor issues promptly to prevent them from becoming serious disengagement.
Preventive Measures of the .2 Burnout:
