Pay It Forward

When you get a chance to pay it forward, do it!

There are people who were once in your shoes that will benefit from a warm smile, firm handshake and an opportunity or open door, if you can swing it.

Give back with your time and knowledge. Guide where you can. Be kind.

Negotiations Often Require 7 Touches

When you begin a negotiation, start by thinking you will go back and forth 7 times or even more.

Don’t start out thinking it will be one and done. Begin with the idea that they will reject your first 3-4 offers. In fact, you can make the first, full offers such that they are very likely to reject them.

When you prepare for rejections and 7 touches, it makes it easier getting through the negotiation.

Why Wait?

If you want to achieve something, why wait five years to start? What are you waiting for? Start working on it right now from today.

Start with the idea and set aside 30 minutes in your calendar today to research it online. Book the specific 30 minutes in, say from 8:30pm to 9:00pm.

Yes, you’ll miss that tv show you kind of like. However, this small sacrifice will also prove whether you are serious about pursuing this idea or you only sort of want to do it.

Then, put 15-130 minutes a day into your calendar for the next 7 days so you’re clear when you are working on this. And then do it!

Be On Time

It shows self respect, that you’re organised, and that you respect the other person’s request and their time.

And by being on time, that means show up 5-10 minutes early. Then there is no argument about whether you were on time or not.

It also indicates that you think that the person is importance and that you value their time in your life.

Of course the opposite to all of these is also true.

Be on time.

Wish It Or Get It?

Are those desires that you have in your head just wishes or are you actively engaged in a plan to get those things?

If you are wishing every day, you’ll probably end up very disappointed. Wishes tend not to come true without some sort of action on your part.

You need to tell someone what the wish is or you need to go out and work towards making that wish become a reality yourself.

Usually going out to make it happen yourself will be the best route forward.
