Use Peter's Laws as inspiration for New Beliefs and a New You.

Peter Diamandes has some brilliant beliefs that enables him to achieve unbelievable things.

He says that once a colleague wrote Murphy's law on the wall (ie if it can go wrong it will).
He thought this is a terrible belief to have so he changed it to if it can go wrong, fix it. He then added a few more beliefs to give his 28  beliefs or as he calls them his 28 Peter's Laws. See the link below for the full list but these are the ones that particular resonate with me.


1. If you can't measure it, you can't improve it.
This is key to success.  You need to know what you want (your goals) and you need to be measuring it. They say planes are off course 97% of the time but because they know where they are going and are measuring, they can reach their destination. If you  are not measuring, how can you possibly know if you are getting closer or further away from your goals. And make sure you have your goals otherwise you'll be following someone else's agenda.

If  you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not Much....Jim Rohn

2. Fail early, fail often, fail forward!
Niels Bohr has the best definition of an expert, I have ever heard.

An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field..Niels Bohr

Hence to become an expert, you simply need to fail more. You should also de-risk and  make sure you learn from all your attempts and you can start small so  if you fail it does not have  a big impact but you gain experience.

3. You get what you incentivise
If you do not incentivise something, your brain will not be working on it and you will probably not get it,  so you should incentivise and visualise succeeding.

4. No simply means begin again at one level higher
This is  a  great rule. One of my colleagues has been asking something at work for a long time and then he just went to a different person and it was approved immediately. If you are getting 'NO's try one level higher.

5. If you  can't win, change the rules.
Most people think things can't be done because  they think these are the rules but think like an entrepreneur and look at things in a different way and you can see different  options  to succeed.
