Ten Things that require Zero Talent yet contribute to your success

Being on time

Being on time reflects your professionalism and facilitates the most important aspect of life i.e. delivering on promises. Showing up on time at office and in meetings and completing task/assignment as per expectations makes you more acceptable and trustworthy at workplace. You may see people respecting you for being in time.

Positive attitude

A positive attitude helps you cope more easily with the daily affairs of life. It brings optimism into your life and makes it easier to avoid worries and negative thinking. If you adopt it as a way of life, it would bring constructive changes into your life, and make you happier, brighter and more successful….. one simple and no cost formula for being positive is “Keep Smiling”.

Making an effort

People Don’t Fail to Succeed — They Fail to Make the Effort to Succeed. You need to come out of your comfort zone when you make efforts. It is said……KUCH KARNE SE HI HOGA.

Energetic

Take care of yourself mentally, physically and emotionally, and your body, heart and mind will all start overflowing with incredibly high levels of energy.

The three following tips are everyday actions you can take to create and sustain high energy levels:

Exercise first thing in the morning / Generally eat healthier foods / Meditate

On top of these three actions, there are also some general rules that help to keep the focus, determination and energy high:

·        Sleep when you're tired - don't fight with your body, if you need to sleep then sleep.

·        Have definable goals that you can be motivated to complete

·        Surround yourself with motivated, energized, hard-working people

Being Passionate

We need to focus on achieving the goals and keep our commitments. We should take pride in being accountable, challenging self to perform better. Our relentless passion helps us to overcome challenges to create desired impact.

Being Coachable

Being coachable is a strength, in that it gives you an advantage. When we say someone is “coachable,” here are a few of the definitions that come to mind:

·        They are willing to take responsibility for the results they are getting

·        They are willing to see their situation differently

·        They are open to constructive feedback

Good Body Language

Good body language skills can help you motivate direct reports, bond with audiences, present ideas with added credibility, and authentically project your personal brand of charisma. That’s a powerful set of skills for any professional to develop. Studies have found that nonverbal cues have over four times the impact on the impression you make than anything you say.

Doing a little extra every day

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra. And the little extra can be achieved by just coming out of your comfort zone.

Being prepared

The difference with being reactive instead of proactive - is preparation. And the advantage of preparation is that you can manage problems much quicker and more efficiently because you will already have the solutions at hand ready to be applied. Preparation could help you avoid the build-up of stress and anxiety.

Having strong work ethics

Do what you say, say what you believe. One need to be fair, honest, authentic, consistent, courageous and transparent in all our words and actions.
