Motivation / / December 19, 2019
With the failures encountered by any profession. Failure to have not broken your spirit, change your attitude towards them.
Strive to failure
Set a goal to get a certain number of failures per year as done writer Kim Liao. So you will not have time for idleness. You will need to constantly generate new ideas, and rejected again to offer to others.
The damage that causes failure, is not that what you once hear "no", but the fact that you do not want to try again.
The ability to safely take failures and useful for business development. After all, in order not to overload the existing partners, you will have to find new customers and new sales sector.
If you learn to accept failure as an achievement and proof that you have forced yourself to get out of your comfort zone, and not as a penalty, you will be easier to strive for more complex goals.
Develop sustainability
We think that successful people always everything went smoothly, but in fact they were getting a lot of failures. Fitzgerald received 122 notifications of refusal before began to be published. Oprah Winfrey, Walt Disney, JK Rowling - all of them
faced with refusals. Nevertheless, they did not give up.To prevent failures hinder you, work on their psychological stability.
- Develop growth mindset. People with a fixed mindset believe their mental qualities and talents are innate and unchangeable. A growth mindset assumes faith in what your abilities are dependent on your own efforts.
- I do not like your job? Try to see how your work in the future will help people. So you bind monotonous routine with an important goal.
- Practice mindfulness. It improves concentration and helps to stay calm even under stress. Try to take short breaks for meditation to relieve the tension.
- Do not take failure as a failure, consider their practices and the ability to learn something.
- Take time on a regular basis (for example, the last Friday of the month) to think of refusal and improve their ideas.
Learn from the mistakes
Need to allocate time to consider and finalize the rejected ideas. It's better than just offer them to others without change.
At the same time pay attention to the following factors.
foreshortening
Maybe the idea is too narrow, or, conversely, is too wide? Or it is already well established? What can you add to your project is different from the others?
Lecture hall
Who is your idea of facing? What problem it will solve? Is there someone else who might be interested in it and with whom you have not yet contacted?
Timeliness
Why now is the right time for your idea? Perhaps it is related to an important anniversary or the latest developments?
thoroughness
whether enough detail developed by your project? Do not attract the expert you need to work has become more authoritative?
Try to notice the positive side of failure. If the boss says that on a similar project already we are working, so you had a good idea. Ask how you can participate in the project and do not stop coming up with something new. Maybe in the next sentence you will hear in response to the long-awaited "yes."
