His Work / / December 26, 2019
Become the best - a worthy goal for the professionals in the business. In fact, it is the logical conclusion of a long journey of self-development in a particular area.
But not all experts achieve this, not all are the best, or even in any way good. So for what it depends? First of all from the desire to be the best.
You want to become the best in their field?
Any movement starts with a goal, and the first thing to do - it is right to set a goal.
We start with goal setting
The first and most important sign of a good purpose: it motivates. When you think about it, you want to do something, it pushes you to work and pushes laziness and procrastination.
If your goal is not motivated, then this is not the goal.
Since its move, you must clearly know who you want to be and how much longer it's going to happen. For you, there should not be a secret for what you achieve this goal: to money, recognition, better living conditions.
In addition, it is important to determine the correct speed at which you achieve your goals. If you think to be the best in their field can be 40-50 years from now, you may want to speed up a little?
When targets are set, it is time to seek them. But for this you have no time to overcome their habits, accumulated during an aimless existence.
Here is a list of qualities that are characteristic of the best in their field - from a specific profession to your favorite hobby.
develop quality, appropriate for the number 1
Surely these qualities will not be opening for you, but do you often wonder about their development? All these qualities can be called correct, and even if that's true most of all - it's a matter of opinion, they are the same in almost all.
Do not be late
The best in the business is not late. It is better to arrive half an hour earlier than late for 5 minutes, and excuses can not be here.
To accustom themselves to punctuality, we can come up with different penalties for being late. For example, as advised by Igor Mann, the famous marketer and author of books on self-development, you can punish yourself pay the total bill at the restaurant.
Keep their word
Make it a rule always to do what was promised. Of course, it will be difficult to rebuild once, if you are used to throw words to the wind, and, most likely, will have to come up with for myself any sanctions for feil.
Remember one thing: to not have a lot of promise and then punish yourself for failure, simply does not promise that, what is not so sure. In general, try to promise less.
Learn to say "no"
If you are going to be the best, you simply will not have time to extraneous nonsense requests.
Therefore, train yourself to say "no" to all requests that do not relate to your plans. Although, of course, is to choose carefully: some refusals are fraught with unpleasant consequences.
Delegate tasks
If someone can perform the task as well as you do, delegate it. Stop senseless burden yourself with all the works, so you are just wasting your time. The maximum pass the task and engaged only in that no one will do better than you.
Learn how to get things done
This is a serious skill, which we are told from childhood. However, few people bring to an end the begun business, from large projects and ending with small plans.
If you are unable to complete the most basic thing, how are you going to change your life and become the best?
Cultivate this skill, do not leave any business unfinished, and you will be much easier to change.
Remember all your unfinished business and either completely give up on them, or done.
Learn to concentrate
This is a vital skill that will come in handy regardless of the cause. And to be the best, you have to learn.
In the first place tie with bad habits such as checking email, many meaningless conversations and sticking on the social networks. This parasite, which give rise to multi-tasking and time consuming.
To work in a hostile environment there are a few simple tips that can help. If you interfere with the chatter in the office, wear headphones with music neutral or ear plugs; if you can not concentrate on the conversation with customers on the phone, try to wear glasses with darkened glasses.
Igor Mann argues that this is an excellent way to focus: "All external stimuli are turned off, and you seem to see his companion."
It is also possible to use different techniques for increasing the concentration, e.g. Pomodoro. This is a technique whereby you work, stopping every half hour to rest for 5 minutes (after 10 and 15 minutes).
This technique is known enough, and you will find a variety of applications-timer for iOS and Android, for example, Flat Tomato or Clockwork Tomato, Options for the desktop, e.g. Keep Focused for Windows, or complete services for a better concentration and fulfill their goals on a day like Persevy.
Learn to accept the new and constantly evolving
The older we get, the harder it take for something new. But if you decide to become the best, then stand on the spot - no more for you.
Try new techniques and tools, find new opportunities to develop not only in its own sphere, but also in adjacent to it, meet new interesting people.
You can not win every title of the best, and then put your cup on the shelf until the end of days, rest on our laurels. Only continuous development will remain the best.
Do not give up
In one of his lectures Igor Mann mentioned one famous saying:
Calvin Coolidge, 30th US PresidentNothing can replace perseverance: no talent - there is nothing more ordinary than talented losers, nor genius - genius loser has entered into saying or education - the world is full of educated derelicts.
Omnipotent only persistence. The motto "pull devil" or "give up" has solved and always will solve the problems of mankind.
A person who has all these qualities, already claim to be the best and be sure they will. Now, how to understand that you are the best.
How do you know that you - the best
How will you prove to someone or even to himself, that you are the best expert in your field? After all objectivity as such does not exist, and each person judges himself and others from a different perspective.
The very first thing - it your projects and accomplishments. If you have any projects or activities with which you are proud, you can call them and tell them, it's already a success.
Of course, you may also be some documentary evidence recognition: a lot of money, diplomas, excellent ratings, statistics.
What is interesting, your failures can also be regarded as an achievement. Why? Because you are doing something and not make mistakes, as we know, the only one who does nothing. Therefore, appreciate and consider the achievements of all my mistakes, as long as they do not recur.
Equally important to position itself as the best in the business. Create a personal slogan that sets you at a certain position in life, correct the original job, 100 words that describe you as a person, and other chips - all this helps you to see better and be them.
So, if you have the achievements that you are proud of, there is documentary evidence that you have enough to consider himself the best, and you are continue to constantly evolve and position themselves as desired, one can say that you really have achieved what has become the number 1, and few I doubt it.
Rules and methods for sound simple enough, but the way he can not be called simple. After all, there is not enough of one motivation: today you decided to become the best day lived "right," and forget about everything tomorrow.
We need consistent actions, regular training and constant maintenance of motivation, and it can provide only sessions with a trainer, who himself passed this way and become the best in their field.
