Craft a personal mission statement

To listen with empathy, rephrase what the other person has said and ask them to confirm whether you have represented their intention correctly.

Question your habits, hobbies, addictions, and beliefs to ensure that they move you toward your goal in life.

Paying more attention to developing qualities like humility, integrity, courage, and empathy will affect how you relate

with others and how they perceive you.

Make sure your dream is big enough to inspire you to take action. Remove self-doubt from your life.

Be proactive: respond to external circumstances

Focus on result: visualize your outcome before taking action

Put first things first: schedule your priorities

1. Determine your wishes, goals and tools to achieve them
2. Create a mind map of where you see yourself at a set time in the future
3. In your relationships, seek outcomes that allow you and others to win

Think Win-Win: pursue profitable outcomes for you and your partners

Listen first, then speak: pay attention to emotions, verbal and nonverbal communication

Do not give unsolicited advice. Wait for the conversation to lead to the point where the other party asks for your advice.

You bring more power into your life when you learn to take responsibility and work to achieve better outcomes.
