Learning from the Torpedo: Zigzag Your Way · Business Course by Eric Ahmad

Learning from the Torpedo: Zigzag Your Way

In Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz, Chapter 2 highlights a powerful analogy about how a torpedo reaches its target. The torpedo doesn’t travel in a straight line. Instead, it moves, makes errors, and constantly adjusts its course until it reaches the target. In short it zigzags. The key to its success? A corrective mechanism that allows it to make real-time adjustments, ensuring it stays on track despite the setbacks.

As business owners and leaders, we must embrace this same approach. Mistakes and obstacles are inevitable, but instead of seeing them as failures, we can view them as course corrections on the way to our goals.

We might miss the mark in marketing, sales, or management, but just like the torpedo, we have the ability to adjust, learn, and pivot. Success doesn’t come from being perfect; it comes from staying committed to the process and constantly improving.

Keep this mindset as you grow your business: make the errors, learn from them, and course-correct. Just like the torpedo, you’ll hit your target as long as you stay persistent and adjust along the way.
