The Downside of Being Process-first

A process-first mindset is good, until it is the one thing that is holding you back.

This mindset focuses on learning and trusting that the outcome will take care of itself.

Beware of being too process-oriented. It becomes counterproductive when this is your sole focus. You begin to dismiss the results because you don’t want to come to terms with them.

While a strict results-oriented mindset can be detrimental, short-term goals can be valuable developmental tools when balanced with a learning, long-term mindset.

I believe it’s best to prioritize process in the sort-term, but results in the long-term.

Even if you are learning a lot over a long period, if the results aren’t positive then it doesn’t amount to much.

Develop a strong process, but don’t neglect yourself from the results. Embrace the results and use them to make informed decisions and improvements to your process.
