I might have mentioned a few of these points in other blogs but, if so, they’re worth repeating in case you missed them.
1. Your attitude affects your altitude! When you bounce out of bed, when you meet people, when things go right, when things go wrong tell yourself that you are fantastic and guess what… your life will become fantastic. You see your brain doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined situations so if you tell your brain you’re fantastic that’s exactly what it will work to make you become! When you feel fantastic you are more productive… and the most productive people get most rewards.
2. Do what others don’t do! If you do what everybody else does you get what everybody else gets… you’ll be average! So the secret is to look for things (in both your business and personal life) that the others don’t do— and then do them! Now that doesn’t mean doing stupid things or changing for the sake of change— it means looking for ways to do things better.
3. Do something different every day! If you do the same thing day after day you’re going to get the same result. How many times can you walk down the same street and fall down the same hole before you realise you can walk down a different street! So try something different— and, if it works, adopt it! If it doesn’t work then just go back to what you were doing and then try something else. You’ve got a 50/50 chancel of getting it right… and they are great odds!
4. Tell the boss to pay you more! Yes that’s exactly what I said but remember this— money can neither be created nor destroyed— you can’t put more or less than 100 cents in the dollar— so if you want to be paid more you need to help the boss make more money. So, no matter what your role, you should find ways to help the boss achieve that. Ask yourself how can we do this easier, faster, more effectively, less expensively, with less people, and so on. You see whenever you make any part of the business more productive you add to the bottom line.
5. What gets measured gets done. If you don’t have a clearly defined objective in mind then you are less than likely to even attempt what ever you want to achieve. You’ve got focus clearly and specifically and then regularly check progress. If you know you are measuring your progress (or your team members know that you are measuring theirs) guess what? It gets done.
6. And, of course, what gets rewarded gets repeated! Your mother probably bribed you with lollies on her knee to take the nasty medicine and thus taught you to respond to reward… and when the reward is good you want to do it again! And so do team members.
7. Financial independence is when you only go to work coz you want to. Most people go to work because they have to. So work to create that financial independence.
