Learn eight ways to overcome blocks and achieve in work and personal life through successful thinking habits.
1. The "Lands of W"
• Negative - wishing, wallowing, wasting time
• Positive - wanting to achieve, willing to learn, working hard
• Recognise what moves you into 'Negative W' or 'Positive W'
2. Uncover your blocks
• Procrastination - recognise what is blocking you from making a start
• Know your weaknesses - understand them so you can fight them
3. Identify your scripts
• Negative and positive scripts - recognise what you tell yourself, eg. "I'm bad at presentations"
• Find the power boosting scripts, the unblocking scripts, the enablers
• Move from negative to positive scripts
4. Voice the goals
• Set achievable daily goals
• Tell someone else what you are going to do
5. Effective use of time
• Identify which tasks can be done at the same time as others
• Take advantage of occasions when you can do two tasks at once, eg. on the phone
6. Chutzpah and confidence
• Risk taking - see an opportunity and jump in
7. Stamina and persistence
• Dealing with knock-backs and rejection
• Success from 'keeping at it'
8. Do it now!
• Success without scheduling - do short tasks immediately
