5 steps for raising your game in business and life

We find that the two are not in silos, but rather are inextricably linked.

Here are some steps that I’ve found which have helped me and I wanted to share them with you. I’d love to hear your comments and any additional steps that have helped you.

1. Be vigilant about your time

Remember that time is the most precious resource you have. Once depleted, you can’t retrieve it. You can work and earn more money if you lose some. However, time, once gone, can’t be returned. Always keep the attitude of vigilance asking yourself, “Is this the very best use of my time right now?” Sometimes the best thing you can do is connecting with others. Sometimes it will be personal development in reading and learning. Sometimes it will be in relaxing and rejuvenating so you can recharge your batteries. Keep this attitude and you’ll be on the right track.

2. Be kind more than right

Ouch! This is one I had to learn — and still keep learning. It is too easy to focus on being right and fervently trying to convince others that you have the right answer. In human interaction, this can be a negative. I remember hearing the late great Wayne Dyer commenting about this years ago. He said it was better to be kind than to be right. This makes all the sense in the world. Focus on being kind and then people are more open to listening to your reasons why you’re right. I’ve found few cases in life where it is not a good thing to be kind — particularly when dealing with people who can be particularly difficult.
