Definition: To put yourself in a position of advantage. The process of discerning in every situation the key action that will bring about the greatest impact.
Quote: “So let’s say you realize that you are never going to be a 9am to 5pm person. You’re not cut out for that sort of typical work environment. The benefit might be that if you embrace that and say I need to be self-employed or I need to be doing more project –oriented work. Identify the benefits – I’d be more productive. I’d be happier. The people around me would be happier because my mood would be better. When you identify the benefits of accepting the behavior or habit, you actually give leverage to it and give yourself a better chance of sticking with it.” Cheryl Richardson
