What is

• The PUSH factor is a major component of your success system. There are usually some 30 components in the success system.

• Success system is a combination similar to a KEY (and lock), if one component is missing it does not work. It is a system approach and PUSHING is a major component.

• Your success system is coupling with a specific environment to achieve a specific goal

It is easier to Change Yourself

• It easier to change yourself, and adapt to the world, rather than to change the whole world.

• Many tools are available to help this adaptation process.

Different Systems of Tools: With Tools There Are No Frontiers to Adaptation to Environment, including management tools, skills ..


• PUSH factor is needed to get the idea off the ground, i.e. make it happen. The PUSH factor is essential to get things done, to achieve, assuming all other factors are available. The PUSH is essential For sustainable success

• The PUSH factor is linked directly to your personal or organizational DRIVING force to achieve and make things happen. It is a combination of forces. It is what motivates you or your organization and its leaders to stay away from your comfort zone, push your limits and achieve challenging tasks.


Back To: WHAT IS THE PUSH FACTOR?

What is The PUSH FACTOR?

• The PUSH factor is needed to get over difficult obstacles, to solve difficult problems.

• It is about going the extra mile. As they say, when the going gets tough the tough gets going. It is about facing the challenge.

• Push is about focusing your efforts to get things moving.

• PUSH factor is crucial and is similar to money, as it can create all other components, including money and people.


PUSH factor involves all what is available to you to set challenging things in motion: Your heart, mind, body, money and other skills and other available resources.


Brain Power,

Logic, Analysis,

Creativity,

Learning ..

Observation,

Research ..

Heart, Stamina,

Adventure, Risk

Taking ..

Communication,

People ..

Motion,

Discovery

Strength,

Resilience

Other available

Resources and

tools

Specifically, PUSH can include research, planning, change, project management spending, but also courage, patience ..

What does PUSH involve?

• The PUSH factor is not about effort only, but more about EXTRA EFFORT, Pushing the limits, challenging the unknown and new territory, such as dealing with a new environment or new situation and conditions, solving some problems, creating something new etc.

• Most attempts in life deal with the unknown.


We Are Talking EXTRA Challenging Tasks And Goals.

EXTRA in your PUSH:

You have to resort to extra courage, extra risk taking, extra effort, extra patience and resilience, extra observation and analysis, extra creative thinking, extra positive thinking, extra communications etc.


What does PUSH involve?

• PUSH can involve a lot of RESEARCH work and search trying to discover and find things, identify opportunities or leads in a specific new environment, such as when looking for a job or project or doing marketing or buying or solving a problem, project management etc.

• Part of the effort is the learning bit.

The measure of the PUSH Factor: 3 Parameters

1. The quality (Nature) of the PUSH

2. The strength (Intensity) of the PUSH

3. Continuity of the PUSH: Perseverance

PUSH Versus Difficulty Of Task: ELABORATION

• Complexity and duration are relative notions, different for each person and company etc. Someone is used to millions of dollars while another has never seen 10,000 $ .

• You have to push more than the degree of difficulty, i.e. to combat it.

• When pushing hard things become much easier after a short while.

• Some people do not have the stamina or cannot sustain the push for long.


THE PUSH FACTOR

15

• There are many setbacks in the PUSH process, but they are part of the measure of effort of PUSH, e.g. the perseverance, research, and the learning curve.

• Example: Research can be frustrating e.g. when you do not find what you are looking for.

Why Push?

Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3

REALITY ON THE GROUND


IDEA IN YOUR HEAD

Push in each stage of the process, and push to go from one stage to another in the realization of the idea in your head, i.e. to reach your goal.

The Realization Code

• There is a specific intelligent code YOU have to apply to transform an idea into reality, i.e. into life. This is the process or sequence of activities needed. It is the logical bit.

• It is a sequence of intelligent instructions, similar Planning, Execution, Project management etc.

• Example you want to work on a project. First you have to find the customer who will give you the project, then you have to win the contract, then to execute the project on budget time and quality etc.


The intelligent Realization Code


The code (program) involves the combination of success system (The thirty components), including time, i.e. steps, sequence, durations, etc.

23

YOU have to PUSH

• The whole universe and galaxies and stars cannot make a simple idea of yours happen, not in one million years!. YOU have to make it happen. It is your purpose.

• You have to push the process, you have to apply the code; there are stages.

• Seldom coincidence brings the solution.


It is YOU Who Has To Push

• You push from one stage to another, and within each stage of the code.

• Other missing components can be covered by other experts, but not the PUSH factor: YOU have to do it.

• YOU have to deploy the courage, YOU have to take responsibility, YOU have to take the risks, YOU have to fight, YOU have to be patient, YOU have to think, YOU have to solve the problem, YOU have to make the follow-up. YOU have to go the extra mile...


Yes, You

• In the main, YOU will have to push to make it work, to transform the idea into reality.

• You have to be very motivated to push and you have to motivate others to push with you, so that the idea will happen in reality.

• Even if you have the whole key combination, but you are not pushing, nothing will happen.

If you stop pushing things might revert to square one.


The right PUSH: Multiple Options

Trying DIFFERENT things all the time, and finding out what works and what does not work in a specific environment, e.g. finding out the business practices.

At Some Stage The Success Impact Of The Push Goes EXPONENTIAL

• >>>>> PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS GROWS EXPONENTIALLY with YOUR PUSH.

• Hence if you push double, your chance of success might increase by 20 fold or even more!


Exponential Response Of Your Chances To Your PUSH

Your Chances

of Success

PUSH Factor Push factor Stephen Sweid 2012 34

The Exponential Response Of Your Chances

• The probability of success grows exponentially with the PUSH , i.e. with effort, and not linearly. This is the great mystery of effort in relation to success, the great secret revealed.

• If you invest double the effort or time, you will likely get more than 10 times the result.

• Example you double your courage or risk level, BUT your chances might increase 20 times...


Exponential behavior

• It can get more exponential, i.e. sharper curve, with more effort or more intelligent approach, i.e. SMART PUSH, and the closer one gets to the target.

• Money makes things exponential too, but the PUSH factor is more powerful than money.


THE PUSH FACTOR

36

WHY Do Your Chances Grow Exponentially With Your Push Level?

• With pushing new doors open, heralding

new resources and approaches. Suddenly you find your treasure.

• Exponential because you bridge a specific gap through the little extra effort and make a big leap, similar tunnel effect.

• It can lead to multiplier effect, but also domino effect, avalanche and resonance.


WHY Do Your Chances Grow Exponentially With Your Push Level?

• It is exponential because it is connected to logic, e.g. analysis, information, synergy , creativity etc. One key information or deduction can make a great difference, a breakthrough. Brainwork is essential.

• Because you find out exactly what is needed or exactly how to sell it, or you find a potential connection, or you find the clue and solution, or the missing parameter in the formula etc.

• There is accumulation with time : Learning curve and adding value. Push factor Stephen Sweid 2012 38

WHY do your chances grow exponentially with your push level?

• There is synergy among the resources and

people involved and synergy is exponential.

• There is the added momentum : Things get rolling on their own after a while.

• There are many prospects for breakthrough changes with some effort.

• Great effort can lead to a quantum leap


Synergy of elements = Multiplier effect


WHEN Does your Chance Become Exponential with the Push?

• PUSH becomes exponential when it is

performed with the right combination of courage, observation and learning, creative thinking, researching and perseverance.

• >>> Then you get closer to your target and into the exponential zone.


Maximize Your PUSH to Get There

• To make sure you get to the exponential zone of the PUSH, i.e. the breakthrough range, it is best to maximize the PUSH, i.e. to push your limits and perseverance, i.e. and keep pushing, i.e. continuity.

• You know when it has become exponential because you start feeling the MAGIC.


The Closer You Get to the Target, the More Exponential it Gets!

• It becomes more exponential when you are pushing closer towards your target, i.e. it gets warmer as they say.

• you get more frequent positive signals when you get into the exponential zone. You start getting more frequent positive feedback and WOW effects.

• But you will lose your way many times

before you get to the exponential zone.


Push to the Exponential Zone

Your Target


Examples Of The Exponential Zone

• It is similar to when you go shopping. First you have a look at what is available, i.e. just window shopping. Then things shape up in your mind and suddenly you know what you want and start taking action.

• It is also similar to treasure hunt, where you are initially far away from the treasure and you are just exploring and finding clues, then suddenly things fit together and you home in on your treasure.

• It is also similar to defining your strategy: Initially everything is possible but then some patterns appear etc.


You Can Find Or Even Create Your Own Exponential Zone.



For support in your strategic quest, your quantum leap journey: Whether starting a new project, or exploring new territories, or seeking a new path altogether.
