At Nice People Group, we always keep this in mind: “Your attitude can multiply your results.” So I’ve translated and summarized an article published by Entrepreneurs magazine, consulting Deep Patel on this topic. Here we go…
Profound changes come from within. You can put on makeup and see a change. But to make it truly possible, the metamorphosis must be an internal process. You’ll feel it in your mind, putting your heart into it. These are Deep Patel’s eight tips. I’ll share more and different ones in future posts, but Deep knows what he’s talking about.
- Mindset for Living with Intention.
This isn’t easy, like any first step. But you either believe in what you do and how well you can do it, or you won’t convince anyone. Apply this to your personal and professional life, act with intention, and maintain your effort and motivation over the long term.
- Identify your power.
The most common mistake: You spend more time thinking about your faults and mistakes. Does this sound familiar? Well, this diminishes you. And so your power slips away.
The Tippex: We all have a source of internal power that fuels us. Yes, everyone. It’s that force from which you draw your ability to overcome obstacles. Write down at least three things you feel you do well at work. Write down the three that are holding you back. Cross these out. And continually visualize the good things you have.
- Focus on quality, not quantity.
The vast majority of humans don’t have unlimited resources. Learn to keep things simple. This mental shift keeps you focused on using your resources wisely, so you’ll conserve your time, money, and mental and physical energy.
When undertaking a project, focus on areas where you have expertise. This way, you’ll naturally thrive and excel. You’ll then have a better chance of standing out not only for your exceptional work, but also for building a reputation to continue driving your business forward.
- Value others and stop being self-centered.
Helping others isn’t just a nice-to-have. When you help others, you also gain in return. After all, while giving leads to getting, more importantly, it leads to personal growth and feeling good. Show genuine interest in others and be authentic in your dealings with others. Nothing is as mind-blowing as allowing yourself to see the world from someone else’s perspective. When you focus on the value you provide to others, you begin to see other people’s needs more clearly. And that makes you grow.
- Understand your worth.
Be careful with this statement: “People see you through the lens of how you project yourself.”. Every interaction is an opportunity to showcase exactly what you have to bring to the table and exactly why you stand out from the rest. The energy, confidence, and attitude you bring with you are key to projecting yourself as someone confident and optimistic. Never underestimate your value. It’s not just about your credentials, education, and experience (although those things are great). Rather, it’s about your ability to show the world how amazing you are in your day-to-day dealings with others.
- Think and act big.
Stop being “business as usual.” Bury the phrase “We’ve never done it this way before.” Instead, ask yourself how I can act bigger. How can I go further? What’s the next level I hope to reach? That’s where you’re aiming. Stop allowing old thought patterns, fears, and archaic beliefs to hold you back. Embrace bigger thinking. But give it a bear hug.
- See failure as a necessary step towards success.
Failure always depends on how you frame it. Instead of seeing it as a mistake you’ll have to live with forever, recognize that failure isn’t personal. Your approach failed, and you made a mistake. But you, as a person, didn’t fail. Don’t let your ego blind you. Analyze: Where did you go wrong? Hone in on the problem and see how it can be solved. What path could you have taken to achieve a different outcome? Learn not to make those same mistakes again. Most importantly, learn to move forward.
- Focus on your personal “why”.
Take a moment and ask yourself: “Why do I do what I do?” Understanding your “why” is knowing your purpose and will help you tap into your deepest motivations. This is key to understanding how to achieve the things you truly want in life. Why do you focus on the things you do? At the end of the day, are you satisfied with what you’re doing? Does your focus lead you to success that makes you feel good? If not, you don’t have the right “why.” When you feel lost about the next steps to take in business or in life, you can always return to “why.” It will act as an internal compass, always pointing north.
These 8 points will help you shape your attitude. And with the right, focused attitude, you are closer to starting to grow. Now get to work, or if you prefer, call us so we can work together to help your business grow.
