How do you have good days?

12 guidelines that will increase the effectiveness of your days.

///Thread\\\
For many years now, I have pulled together a list of life rules or guidelines to help me each day.

I have 12 of them that I update every year

They are systems I lean on and key reminders for me.

Here are my 2021 guidelines for good days
1) Find space and time each day to meditate, breathe, and say thank you for my life.
2) Avoid confrontations – look for ways around – by stepping back or asking good questions, a good question can always defuse a misunderstanding.
3) Find room each day to move – from walks to full workouts; each day needs a release of energy to create more energy.
4) Everything that happens to you, Good or Bad, is your personal responsibility, 100%, there is no other way.
5) Look for, follow, and find momentum in your life. Action creates more action, follow that flow.
6) Protect your growth mindset (live in gratitude). Every situation provides you with a chance to grow, learn, and adapt.
7) Read, learn, and grow each day. Just don't leave your growing to life experience, find good sources of knowledge to consume daily.
8) Talking with yourself in a journal can improve your day. Even if it just a sentence, write something down daily.
9) You don’t always need your phone to be on or with you. Disconnect daily; your brain will thank you.
10) Always look for ways to give back and share, all boats rise from the incoming tide.
11) Live from the heart – think with the head but trust your gut. Listen to your intuition; you can tap into this more by following rules 1, 3, 7 and 8
12) Protect your morning routine, evening routine, and your sleep. Sleep is your number one asset; protect it and your energy by having strong routines before and after it.
If you liked those 12 guidelines you would enjoy my journal guide.

We need to talk about the Success Trap

And why you don't want to fall into it!

///THREAD\\\
Behind every victory is the desire for the next one

Every success makes you want more

In reality, there is no peak to success

The climb towards the next one can become addictive.
The success trap has caught many infamous leaders in history

From Caser, Napoleon, to some German dude with a small mustache

All undone by their desire for more, the next success

Only to be unsatisfied at its summit.

How One Simple Focus Shift Can Improve Your Life

Learning without a purpose is trapping you in an endless maze

You need to start:

Consuming with purpose; it is the hidden path to your success.

///THREAD\\\
If you're like me, you're probably on a success journey

Looking for your hidden path to success

Which means you spend a lot of time:
- Reading books
- Listening to podcasts
- Attending many seminars

Trying to consume and absorb as much information as you can...
However, this can quickly turn into just learning for the sake of learning

You end up reading books, listening to podcasts, attend webinars and workshops

Even though you know the content is not relevant to your current situation...

9 reasons why you fail and self-sabotage yourself without even realizing it.

/\/THREAD\/\
A quote to frame the 9 reasons we will explore:

"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it."

― Maya Angelou
1) Not Trying

You fail not because of lack of knowledge or talent but because you didn't try

Sitting on the sidelines watching is a reason you fail

You may also lack persistence, giving up too quickly, expecting results in days/weeks, not months/years

Never quit until you win

Three key reasons why the 'Art of Selling' is an important life skill.

$$$THREAD$$$
Areas explored in this thread around the 'Art of Selling'

1) It builds your self-confidence

2) Helps you develop the art of listening

3) Helps build your personal brand
The first reason: It builds self-confidence

If you already work within a selling environment you might already understand this

Walking up to somebody on the street, approaching someone in a store, or cold calling people

Takes a certain level of confidence to be successful...

The memoirs of a commission-based seller

8 lessons learned from working $0 salary jobs.

$$$THREAD$$$
I used to work in high-end sales selling luxury suits, clothing, and cars to the rich and famous

During my years working in these environments, I came across several techniques that transcended "sales"

These ideas apply universally
1. Questions

Ask good questions, be different with your questions

Let the customer talk; they will tell you more if you give them room to speak

Customers will often sell items to themselves; you don't even have to do any work.

A Stoic Process: Study - Practice - Teach

How to learn and apply ANY skill!

///THREAD///
If you want to be happier and improve your life quality, you should immerse yourself in subjects that you wish to learn more about

Consistently engage with the right kind of information so you can continue to grow

But you also need systems to learn new skills quickly.
Study - Practice - Teach comes into play here

When you are studying, you are learning and thinking about the subject

The same goes for when you are practicing a subject

And when you teach, you learn twice

Seneca said of "Study"...
