Back to basic

 

Regardless of what project you're in and no matter what your purpose or task might be, sooner or later we always end up asking ourselves: "Things are not going too well... what can I do to improve?"

 

I believe there are at least three basic questions we can always come back to and greatly benefit from. In my experience, every time I explore these three areas I reach new levels of understanding and conviction.

                 
              Get past that first hurdle yourself!
             
 

1) Am I passionate?

What is my purpose? Do I believe in my own "mission"? Am I driven by pure desire? If I'm not, then what can I do or even adjust to reach such emotions? No passion, no change!

                 
                 
      It takes two to tango!
             
 

2) Do I connect with others?

Who among all are my key contacts and what's important to them? Does the way I interact with the people around me trigger their passion? What will it take to turn the lights on in my peers? No connection, no results!

                 
            What does your inner compass tell you?
             
 

3) What does my intuition tell me?

What is the one and single most important action I could take today that would make an immediate and/or long term difference? What does my heart tell me? How can I apply my talents and my abilities to have a spreading effect? If I were to just be my best self, how would I go about making a serious difference? No intuition, no value creation!

                 
                 

So what?

Passion, Connection and Intuition each lead to three distinct levels of conviction. Passion leads to inner conviction. Connection leads to shared conviction and Intuition leads to discovered conviction. Here are three suggestions to how this can be applied - right now - today:

  1. Increase passion by thinking
    • read inspiring literature - discover WHAT
    • then... take time to reflect and explore
    • then... take notes
    • then... make commitments and execute
  2. Strengthen connection by interacting
    • spend time with inspiring people - discover WHO
    • then... take time to listen
    • then... take notes
    • then... make commitments and execute
  3. Follow intuition by leaving your comfort zone
    • seek inspiring challenges and environments - discover HOW
    • then... look for opportunities
    • then... be flexible and accept the speed of the moment
 

And the best thing is, pick whichever area you'd like to start with. There is, however, a principle based order to these energies, as you've probably noticed: 1) ignite yourself, 2) ignite others and 3) ignite your surroundings. Try to cheat the order of this and you'll find you're up against a headwind. If you apply yourself to the process, you'll see, wind will start blowing your way.

"An increase in influence is the one ingredient that influences life most...

...everyone wants more influence for varying reasons. They just don't know it yet.

(E. Vidar Top)

 
 
Someone once said to me: "There is no such thing as the perfect sale." I disagree. I very much disagree!

It reminds me of a conversation I had a long time ago. One of my CEO's said to me: "If the customer happily signed the contract then you've done your job. You exceeded your budget - you should be happy." But I wasn't.

On these pages I'll make it my mission to tell you what kind of sale does make me happy. I also invite you to help me get that insight - how selling should be - by telling me what you think.

Thank you for helping out ;-)
