The idea of never taking your foot off the gas has to do with never letting up and continually striving for excellence. It's not about "damn the torpedoes" and full speed ahead with your ears tucked back. It's more about perseverance and never giving up, no matter the odds. It's about having a "burning gut" that gives you an edge over the next person. It's about staying three steps ahead of your competition with your number one competitor being yourself. We are talking a mindset that is tenacious, enthusiastic, and smart.

While the goal is to keep your "pedal to the metal," you also need to intelligently regulate your endeavors. There's an old saying, "don't let the grass grow under feet." Basically, don't stand around waiting for something to happen, seize the opportunity and make difference. This is where your regulatory intelligence factors in. While a never take your foot off the gas mindset is to aggressively make things happen, sometimes to move forward, you need to take a step back, pause, and be patient. You still have your foot on the gas, just not on the floor.

At globalstar, we promote the idea of maintaining a sense of urgency, but not getting in a hurry. We've seen many a project that ends up taking 2-3 times longer because people leaped before they gathered enough information. As software implementers, we see this all the time where there are compressed times that are set for a variety of reasons. In defense of what appears to be vacuum-based decisions, you don't want a bunch of paralysis by analysis either. This is where hiring the right consulting company can make all the difference.

In order to raise the probability of success, you need goal setting, in-depth preparation, and proficient execution by experienced professionals, like globalstar. This will allow you to move toward the actualization of your goals confidently and expeditiously.
