Research is increasingly showing that Emotional Intelligence is one of the biggest factors in achieving our desired results.
Emotional Intelligence is a very broad and important subject!
It’s worth deciding to continuously work on developing your emotional intelligence – it will help you in every area of your life!
Following are a few thoughts and resources to help get the ball rolling
The 95% Rule
When 95% of what you do seems to be a waste of time it is difficult to remain positive and expectant that the 5% is more than enough.
Logically it makes sense that you only need 5% to duplicate to produce an incredible result in just a few short years.
It’s easy to do the maths but it’s tough to endure the 95% while
- Maintaining a positive attitude
- Expecting the best
- Staying excited and motivated
- Remaining consistent
It’s easy to:
- Have doubts
- Become frustrated with people – why don’t they – they should
- Become impatient
- Compare yourself with others
- Project negative vibes which people don’t want to be around you – far less follow you
- Have a martyr complex
- Believe you can grow and that success is dependant on factors beyond your control
The starting point is to:
- Recognise that mastering and harnessing your emotions is a major factor in achieving the results you are looking for
- Be absolute determined to NOT give up too easily – as you know things go a lot better when you have a large Know Like & Trust network
- There are so many examples of fellow collaborators who initially suffered very bad results but kept persisting
- Some of these are now the most successful network builders we know
- They persisted with the result that their biggest weaknesses become their greatest strengths
- With the right attitude, everyone can do this
- The key is to keep going, listen to the “good” news stories and be determined to be part of them
Most importantly
Develop a habit of listening (or viewing if you have time) lots of talks that will help you to gain “light bulb” moments and inspire you to improve and persist.
