How to Make a Good First Impression That Everyone Remembers

Brian Tracy at Brian Tracy

Making a great first impression is imperative to becoming an influential leader. The ancient Greeks spent a lot of time thinking and writing about the effect of one personality on another. They broke down the process of communication into three parts, which they called ethos, pathos, and logos. The ethos of communication is defined as the ethical part. This revolves around the person you really are and, more important, the person you are perceived to be. If you are in sales or business, the way you are perceived by someone, which will largely determine the influence you have over him... more »

4 Mental Exercises to Increase Your Time Management

Brian Tracy at Brian Tracy's -

Time management behaviors are very much a matter of choice: You choose to be efficient or you choose to be disorganized. You choose to focus and concentrate on your highest-value tasks, or you choose to spend your time on activities that contribute little value to your life. You choose to be positive or you choose to be negative. And you are always free to choose your quality of life.

Avoid Distractions for Better Results

Great product ideas are not purchased; they’re conceived. That means that any product you see is a result of someone’s ingenuity. Somebody thought of an idea and then made it a reality.

But great business ideas are hard to come by. You’ll rarely have a “eureka moment” when you’re busy doing other things like running a company. That’s why it’s important to schedule some alone time for high-leverage thinking.

Distractions Come in Many Forms

Distractions are obstacles that you should eradicate quickly if you want your business to progress. Firstly, you need to be able to recognize its many forms in order to avoid it:

1. Long Chats with Colleagues
2. Emails
3. Internet Browsing
4. Stressing about Your Business
5. Mobile Devices

Take 30

With so many distractions around us, it can be near impossible to find the time to relax and think about new ideas. It can seem like you’re forever working on your last one. That’s why you need to make a conscious effort to allocate at least 30 minutes a day for yourself.

Spend 30 minutes away from the distractions of everyday life and work, and use that time to unwind and let ideas come flowing to you. You might not generate new ideas each time, but that’s okay. Make it a habit so you can eventually condition your mind to think clearer. Soon enough, you’ll find yourself bursting with new business ideas.

Remember to switch off all your devices; no phones, computers, or tablets. And no matter how important an email may be, avoid stressing yourself about it during this time. Just free your mind, avoid distractions, and let your mind conjure new business ideas.

Think Big

Some of my best ideas came to me during long-haul flights and commutes. That’s because I have very little distractions around me, and I can focus on new business ideas without having to worry about a knock on my office door or a new email coming through.

The idea of MTTB came to me during a flight from Fiji to Perth back in 2013. That kind of high-leverage thinking is worth a lot of money. It may just seem like an idea that’s not going to generate any income for you, but in the long run, you’ll see its potential to provide a substantial ROI.

That’s what big ideas do: they become the foundation of a lifetime of revenue.

Richard Branson used a similar strategy to achieve his success with Virgin Group. He explained in his autobiography, “My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them … from the perspective of wanting to live life to the full, I felt that I had to attempt it [Virgin airlines].”

Conclusion

When you have some free time to think, you don’t have to necessarily think of big ideas. Simply, think. Detach from the distractions of your busy day and set the wheels in motion by coming up with some good quality business ideas.

Remember, distractions hinder productivity, and an unproductive business can be difficult to expand. As soon as you get rid of those distractions, you can begin to scale your business.

Everybody dreams

Everybody dreams. Every dream is an idea, an opportunity and a possibility. Many people let their dream to die because they imagine that this dream is too big and cannot be. Some even say they don't have the right connections, education, or finances. It could as well be age or family background issues, etc. I was there many times and over, but all you need is, "start wherever you are, and with whatever you have, and soon you will begin to see your results", so I dare to relate with my dream with clarity of purpose, cultivate the energy I need day to day to accomplish my tasks and to achieve more, generate the courage to to do what I believe in and take the risks associated, seek to produce things that will move me towards the outcome that I seek, and take actions that will influence the support that I need..... Your dream does not land on you. You live it out. It works when you work it. Know that the price is already paid by someone else ahead of you. So, instead of buying the experience I need by re-inventing the wheel, I learn to borrow the experience of someone else by learning and doing what someone else has done and getting the same results. If it works for me, it can also work for anybody.
