The document outlines 7 ways to overcome obstacles: 1) Don't complain and ask for help from others, 2) Face obstacles head on and take action rather than ignoring them, 3) Stay positive and focus on potential benefits, 4) Be realistic and accept outcomes may not be what you want, 5) Don't try to one-up others when they express struggles, 6) Consider emotional factors underlying objections, and 7) Break large obstacles into smaller pieces to tackle step-by-step.

OBSTACLES

3. Don’t complain.
People don’t want to hear woe is me over and over again,
especially if you do nothing about it. However, do ask for help
and for suggestions from others that may have been in similar
situations. You have to be willing to help yourself. People can’t
do it for you.

5. Face it head on.
Don’t beat around the bush. If you are having an issue, do
something about it. Burying it does nothing but eat away at
you. Don’t know what to do? Seek counseling. Many
companies provide free counseling services as a part of your
HR package. Try something. If that doesn’t work, try
something else. Do anything but the same thing that
previously didn’t work.

7. Stay positive.
When you are worried about something it’s hard to stay
positive, but think about the good things that could come
from the difficult decision you have to make or the hard
conversation you have to have.

9. Be realistic.
Realize you may not get the outcome you want, but rather we
sometimes get what we need. Do you have some growing to
do before you get what you want? Sometimes the timing isn’t
right because there is something better and we just need to
be patient.

11. Don’t try to out-do people.
When someone expresses that they are struggling, don’t come
back with, “You think that’s hard… let me tell you my story.”
Everyone has had something hard in their life. It’s fine to let
them know you can relate, but be helpful with your comments
and stories.

13. Emotional side.
When dealing with others, we sometimes forget that there is
more than just the logical side. Most people make decisions
because of emotions whether they believe it or not. Past
experiences or fears can play a part. Sometimes in order to
remove the obstacle you have to digger deeper into the real
reasons for objections and overcome that issue first.

15. Break it down.
Always keep in mind the end objective. Sometimes the bigger
obstacle has smaller obstacles to overcome. When thinking
about challenges, break them down and tackle them in
smaller pieces.
