What’s Important Now? is a concept I learned from Coach Lou Holtz and have been sharing in seminars, workshops and courses for almost 20 years, and writing about in this forum for 16 ½ years. As you know I refer to What’s Important Now? as Life’s Most Powerful Question. I believe it is Life’s Most Powerful Question for two reasons:

1. It’s simplicity.
2. It’s diversity in application.

The tag line I now use on the Life’s Most Powerful Question website, which will likely change and evolve, is “One question bringing focus and clarity in the chaos and complexity of today’s world.” 

I believe that when we embrace W.I.N. as a decision making tool it can help us move forward in the chaos, complexity, volatility and uncertainty of today’s world and take the next right step, the next right action to move us forward. When life throws challenges at us, as it always does, W.I.N. can help us to Embrace the Suck, Look for the Learning, Look for the Good and Dare to Be Great. W.I.N. crosses all boundaries, all demographics, all professions and all ages. The simplicity and the diversity of application make it universally appealing. 

Here are just a few of the ways the W.I.N. philosophy is being used:

• W.I.N. is being taught and used as a decision making tool in public safety. 
• It has been taught to military special operations personnel. 
• It has been used as a mantra to battle cancer. 
• It has been used to help people deal with the death of a loved one. 
• It has been taught to young athletes by youth sports coaches. 
• It has been taught in schools from elementary to college and university. 
• It has been used by Olympic athletes. 
• It is being taught to professional baseball players.

What is my point with all this?  

I am working to build a movement around the W.I.N. philosophy. Scott Mann from Rooftop Leadership defines a movement as:

“Mobilizing a group of diverse people to take action and create unity of effort that results in a strategic impact.”

My goal is to build a movement where diverse people take action and create that unity of effort Scott talks about to spread the W.I.N. philosophy in order to make a greater impact on the world and I need your help to do that. I would love to hear what you have done, and are doing to apply the W.I.N. Philosophy in your life as well as what you are doing to share the W.I.N. philosophy. You can send me an e-mail at winningmind@mac.com or send me a short video if that is easier for you. Also, what can I do to help you? In addition to the weekly blog post would it be helpful if I posted short videos or webinars on the website http://www.lifesmostpowerfulquestion.com after I do some website upgrades? Any help you can provide in getting the word out and helping build the movement would be greatly appreciated. 

Take care.
