Читать книгу Start With a Win - Adam Contos - Страница 42

 Your success is up to you. Believe “I can,” and you're on the way to win No. 1.

 A win isn't dollars and cents or a place or end point. It's a journey—a series of missions or experiences, and actions—that, done right, brings happiness along the way.

 A win is a set of answers to following questions:What is the challenge?What is the necessary attitude to get started?What action or actions are necessary to overcome the challenge?

 Locus of control determines the degree to which you feel you have control over your results and ultimately your life.

 The most successful people take ownership of outcomes; they exhibit internal locus of control.

 Life is a series of missions or experiences that contribute to our playbook for life.

 Leaders model the right behavior.

 Faced with a business challenge—including generating new business—stop and think about the stressor or the challenge, then determine the solution, and how can you provide it, and then take action.

 Everyone thinks there's a secret to giving a great speech. But there's not. Approach a presentation as you would any mission or any challenge. What's the challenge? What are the solutions (your script)? Then prepare (practice), and take action (present).

 No matter the type of presentation, people want to see and hear a positive attitude, confidence, and a genuine caring.

 Uncertain times call for companies and people to pivot and act quickly to shore up any weaknesses in order to survive and thrive. Those who are slow to react, if they react at all, will falter and often fail to survive.

 Pay attention to the language you use in dealing with others. People listen when you use their words and tune out when you use yours.

 In business and in life, a holistic approach works best in the pursuit of health, happiness, relationships, and success.
