It’s interesting what different people think when you mention the phrase ‘sweet spot’. For some it immediately conjures up something sexy. (You’ll have to wait for my post on The A, B, C’s of the G-Spot.) But that’s only one aspect of finding your sweet spot in life.
A sweet spot refers to a place where a combination of factors, when in balance produces the best results. It can refer to many dimensions of everyday life. For example,
when I asked my former business development director what the sweet spot in marketing is, Jamie said that it’s when the product, the perceived value, price and promotion are in sync with the target market. I thought that makes sense because then they were in tune with the hearts and minds of their customers. Have you heard of a sweet spot on a golf club? That’s when the right place on the club meets with the right angle and force to produce the perfect shot. You might recall people saying they found their sweet spot in fitness, in managing their money, with their career, in retirement or in lovemaking. But in life there can be many sweet spots which make up the total you. Still Sexy at 60+ describes seven sweet spots which, when congruent, result in harmony and balance.
