- Things are never as bad as they seem. (Nor as perfect) One of the keys to success is progress not perfection.
- Don’t spend so much time trying to be liked by everyone in your network. It is important to be liked but it is as important to be respected too.
- Listen to people with the purpose of understanding rather than waiting to draft a response.
- Write Thank you notes (pen and paper) - A minimum of one per day. With the lion share of communication these days being text and email, it will be a pleasant surprise for people in your network to actually receive a letter. Keep the notes in your bag, car, desk etc…
- Persistence pays the bills. Never give up on anyone or anything that will get you that much closer to your ultimate destination.
- Two hardest things for a high achiever to say out loud; “I do not know and I made a mistake”. Say this out loud to yourself a few hundred times. Perfection is over rated and it does not wear well over time.
- Do one more thing (call, email, text, phone) each day before you shut it down. There are approximately 260 working days per year. Do the math. Success is an acquired taste.
- Bring others with you. Zig Ziglar said it best, “You can have anything in the world you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want….”
