Do you have the right mindset?
Habit 1 – Be a ‘can doer’
Think about what you want and what you can do to make
it happen!
Habit 2 – What’s your goal ?
If you know what you’re trying to achieve – you can work towards it!
Habit 3 – Prioritise!
What do you need to do, to achieve your goal?
Tip – ‘the only way to eat an elephant is in small bites’!
Habit 4 – Think ‘win-win’
What can you do for others and what can they do for you?
Habit 5 – Assuming makes an ass out of u and me!
Listen and ask questions – never assume. Seek first to
understand and then to be understood. Ask yourself
‘what am I assuming that might be holding me back?’
Habit 6 – Work with others for a shared goal
Who can help you achieve your goal and what’s in it for them?
Habit 7 – Do things that make you happy
Particularly if you’re not having a good day!
Anything is possible for you! You just need to know what you want then work out how you’re going to get there….
