For #thankfulthursdays I would like to give gratitude to John Lee for reminding me about setting short, medium, and long term goals.
It’s about breaking-down your long-term goals into medium-term milestones, and further on until your baby step goals.
That way, you can keep getting constant feedback to ensure you’re going in the right direction, or if you need to make course corrections as early as possible.
I won’t say more as I would not want to water-down John’s message, so I would prefer you hear it straight from him.
You know how they make you take those personality tests like DISC?
And then once you determine your personality type and that of your colleagues and team members, supposedly it will allow you to be able to work together better, since you already know the personality of each.
The problem there is that if you’re speaking with a client, or a visitor, or doing an interview with a potential hire, it’s very difficult to gauge their personality without having to have them take the DISC test.
So when it comes to figuring out how to best persuade potential clients, influence stakeholders, motivate your team, or gauge the personality and team fit of a potential new hire, there has to be a better way of gauging their personality quickly, so you can adjust your approach accordingly.
What Dan Lok has taught me is that there are 4 Personality Types, which can be described as gems – Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Pearl. He dives deep into each type, and explains what motivates them.
That way, you’ll be able to quickly gauge the personality of the person you’re speaking with, while you are having a conversation with them.
“Copy me so I don’t have to do it anymore.” – Seth Godin
What he meant by this isn’t copy-pasting or plagiarizing content.
It’s more of let’s say you started doing things the way I do it, you adapt my best practices, make them your own, it means I have made my mark in the world and I can move on and innovate further and create new things that will be of value to the world!
If you’re a leader then I’m sure this would make sense to you. Transferring knowledge, skillsets, and developing people is what we live for.
And because I’m grateful to you for reading this, I would like to make your day by giving you some value.
Here are some options of how you can copy and acquire some of my very own skillsets.
The reason why I’m saying this is because as a child, there was a time when you had to learn how to walk, talk, and even learn new skills such as how to ride a bike.
Now before you learned any of those skills, how many times did you fail and try again?
That’s right, a LOT of times.
You see, failure is part of success. You have to fail first so you can learn from it, and understand how to do it better next time.
It’s Better to Take Action and Fail than to Fail at Taking Action.

For today’s #thankfulthursdays I would like to give gratitude to Tom Bilyeu, for teaching me how to use anger, hate, self-doubt, and turn that into the driving force to keep you going, just when you think you’re about to give up.
He recommends you keep a list of all your haters, trolls, and anyone who has ever doubted you, including that little voice inside of you, your own self-doubt.
Because just when you think you’re about to give up, you can channel all that anger and hatred to give you a reason to push, make it happen, and prove them wrong.
While I’m not really a person who gets angry, or holds a grudge against anyone, I can completely relate to the study that Tom talks about, and how people are able to do at least 30% more by using this technique.
There’s a reason why Anger exists. Use it to your advantage!
For today’s #wisdomwednesdays, you gotta choose which statement makes more sense to you:
“Build it and they will come” or
“People adapt to what they helped build”
Think of a scenario in your your past when you tried to deploy initiatives that you think would benefit a lot of people.
Which strategy worked best?
The one where you built it, and then tried to push it to market? How did that go? Did they love it immediately soon as they saw it? Did they thank you for creating such a wonderful product or service?
Or did the strategy where you involved your audience in creating it work better for you?
If you’d want to find out what worked in my experience, then read on.
