The operator used a tech to submit the application who did a very thorough job (read expensive job) but made some critical errors that made the AER refuse the application. Why use a tech when an expert is cheaper?

When asking yourself, why was this application refused, you may find that there are other things your company should refuse to do.

You probably have many worthy things on your to do list. But very successful oil and gas companies also refuse to do some things. Some things should be procrastinated.

Here's out 3 things wildly successful oil and gas companies refuse to do.

1. They refuse to be victims

They know present troubles are not excuses. They continue to dream and achieve despite roadblocks. They know that they alone can choose their own right path. They know their success is more about their choices and less about their circumstances. They chose to act and not be acted upon.

Question: What circumstance is victimizing you?

Action item: Change your thinking about your current situation. Brainstorm (that means way out there thinking) ten things you can do that will change your circumstance into an advantage.

2. They refuse to let fear hold them back

Fear surrounding scarcity is one of the most debilitating emotions. It robs the fearful of the will to think and move forward. The most successful companies are those that see scarcity and complication but step cautiously and rationally into the fray anyway. Fear and faith can't exist at the same time.

Question: What are you afraid to do?

Action item: Find someone that has done it and pick their brain. What made them think they could do it? What steps did they take?

3. They refuse to believe they know everything

They surround themselves with experienced and brilliant counsellors. They learn from the successful. They learn from others' mistakes. They stay up to date on current trends. They are constantly on the lookout for great ideas to copy and integrate into their own operations. They are humble enough to know they need help.

Question: What roadblocks are stopping you?

Action item: Ask yourself: Who has experience in bypassing that road block? Seek them out and get them to help you.
