- Help Someone with Something
Every Day -
This may sound like some kind of "Pay It Forward" hype. In some
ways it is. We give guidance to so many who are just getting going in
their careers or business that were looking for advice. Some of them
became successful and some did not. The successful ones have returned the
favor 100 times over or more. They refer us, they encourage our business,
and give us opportunities that we would have otherwise missed. This isn't
limited to business. If you mentor someone, you'll be seen as a natural
leader. We have always seen a strong correlation between leadership and
success.
- Make Mistakes - Jen quit teaching
and took her first “real” job with a top ten communications company. It
was a very high profile job as she trained the CEO on internal business
changes. She was 26 and he was 46 with many successful businesses under
his belt. The thought that she
would make a mistake scared her to death. She was petrified she would make
a huge mistake and he would fire her until the day that she made a
mistake. A strange thing happened. No one got upset with her, and she was
able to recover pretty quickly. From that experience, she learned to always
have a back-up plan. This allowed her to take some risks, experiment more,
and eventually produce ideas that saved the companies training department
thousands of dollars each month. Just as importantly, she realized that she
should tolerate other people's mistakes better.
- Surround Yourself with
Like-Minded Individuals - There are studies that show an individual's
income will be somewhere around the average of your closest five friends.
That formula works for us and our closest friends. There are also studies
that show your weight will reflect those who you hang around with. It
makes sense if you think about it. If your circle of friends likes to
bounce business ideas off each other while playing working out, you'll
probably put yourself closer to the path of prosperity than if you tell
fart jokes while eating wings and beer.
- Exercise - Whenever we work
out, we are pumped up with endorphins for hours. It feels like nothing can
stop us - as if we could run up a mountain. Instead of running up the
nearest mountain, we focus that energy on our list of goals and churn
through it like never before.
