Pedal to the Metal

A good way to think of the “Hit The Gas” mentality is as taking immediate and purposeful action. Rather than letting life happen to us, we believe in having a direct effect on the outcomes we experience in life. This means we strive to bring our best to our clients, colleagues, loved ones, and ourselves. This is a proactive way of doing things – being intentional about the actions we make, and considering how what we do can impact others. It’s also important to not only perform with maximum effort when necessary, but also to make decisions swiftly. As previously mentioned, it is inevitable that at some point we will experience some form of pauses in progress. That’s okay. However, it’s not okay to get stuck like that. We may not always come up with the best solution for problems on the spot, but trying and failing fast is better than not trying and failing forever.

Continuous Optimization

The concept of continuous optimization can be thought of as performing as effectively as possible based on all available data and feedback. Growth usually doesn’t happen without change. It is unexpected that the way we do things on day one will be the same as the way we do things on day 1,000. Over the course of our journey, whether that be professionally or personally, we will experience successes and we will experience shortcomings. There is something to learn from everything. Being open-minded to the feedback of others, analyzing factual data, and making adjustments as necessary is the secret to being the best we can. The world is moving faster than ever, and we must be able to adapt. This is why receiving feedback, adjusting, and hitting the gas towards improvement is so crucial in being the best we can at whatever we aspire to do.
