How to sell brilliantly
Unplugged
(31) To learn more quickly: SOQ/R2/N or check your State ensuring it is calm and focused, Overview the study materials, Question the content as provocatively as possible to fire up curiosity, Read the materials, Recite the key points back to yourself and them summarise with Notes.
(32) To understanding The Rules of Life: read this.
(33) To repair a relationship: go back to basics and talk and listen and talk and listen. Be very aware of the difference between a process conversation (trying to learn from the past to improve the future) and a content conversation (just going on and on about who doesn't clean the kitchen).
(34) To greater happiness: get very good at something x stop asking yourself if you are happy x stay in peak health by respecting meditation-exercise-diet-sleep.
(35) To better selling: read this.
(36) To a better conference: Just get across a few key messages and ask all speakers to be aligned with those messages; pace the day with breaks and varied activities; ensure no back-to-back PowerPoint; consider arrival on the am of day 1, rather than arrival the previous evening: with luck that will keep alcohol out of the system for at least one day; be sympathetic to travel times but insist on full attendance; early departure spoils the closing session/s; have zero tolerance of use of phone/e-mail during sessions.
(37) To more confidence: get really good at something which uses your hands e.g. baking bread. Get really good at something which uses your head e.g. giving presentations without needing notes. Strength of body and strength of mind are transferable to other areas. When the two are in synch. this happens much more quickly.
(38) To getting up earlier: no magic: go to bed earlier.
(39) To understanding the meaning of life: read the philosophers from the start of time x have heated discussions with smart people about the content of such books x walk along empty beaches in the winter with the questions generated by such discussions circulating in your head x drink decent coffee while writing and clarifying your thoughts, initially for your eyes only.
(40) To giving up sugar in tea and/or coffee: half the amount you put in a cup/mug every Sunday morning; continue until halving would require splitting the atom. At that point stop and congratulate yourself.
