TRANSFORMATION: 10 WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR WORTH

-

Below are 10 transformative ways to increase your worth at work, among friends, in your family and in your community.

1. Subscribe to Excellence: It is a common saying that “Whatever your hands find doing is worth doing well”. You increase your worth by activating excellence in all you do. Give your best to whatever your hands find doing. Let people know that you will always deliver to the best of your ability.

2. Be Time Conscious: Those who are not time conscious not only reduce their worth, but also cause a crack to their integrity. Get to meetings at least 10 minutes ahead of the scheduled time. Never waste people’s time. And whenever anyone waste your time, politely frank at it.

3. Let Your Yes be Yes and Your No be No: Your worth increase when people can trust your words. The world today lacks people who can tell full fledge truth. Once people know you with the truth, you become a treasure.

4. Know your value: Never settle for the less, no matter what. It is not pride. It is called knowing your value. Never price yourself too cheap.

5. Be strategic with your friendship: “Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are”. As simple as this sentence is, it goes a long way in determining a man’s worth. One rich man among nine poor men, they are all poor. But, one poor man among nine rich men, that are all rich. If you won’t respect the poor man because of his financial status, you will respect him because of his friends. Your network determines your network.

6. Be Updated: A man is only limited by the level of information he possess. The only way to make the whole world listen to you is by having an information the world don’t know of. You increase your worth by possessing information that is up to date. Social media pages becomes a must visit daily for people because it contains information they don’t have yet. By reading books in your line of discipline, you become updated and a custodian of information that others don’t have.

7. Be A Solution: There are lots of challenges in the world and the community we all belong to. Highlight the challenges peculiar to your community and see if there is anyone you can provide solution to. There you go!

8. Share Your Knowledge: Contrary to some people’s opinion that “You become so important if you are a custodian of a knowledge that no one possess”. You become more important and increased in worth when you share your knowledge with others. The more you give out, the more you get back. Don’t be irreplaceable. If you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted.

9. Be The Reason For People’s Happiness: At work, make it fun when it needs to be. At home, be relaxed, participate, smile and make others smile. In the community, be cool and easy going with people.

10. Be A Good Listener: Everyone has so much to say, but there are few listeners. Those who even listens only listen to reply and not to understand. You can increase your worth in two weeks by becoming a good listener than you can take years trying to get people to be interested in you. You’ll never know how close you are to a million dollar idea unless you are willing to listen.

Goal is something distinctly different from a wish. It can be quickly and easily described to another person. You can measure it and you know when you have achieved it or not. With this definition I will bring out 6 important approaches to overcoming impediments to GOAL achievement. 1. Proper & strategic planning The most important part of goal setting is the planning phase. Sometimes, we are determined and committed, but our game plan steers us astray. You must ensure that your plan will help you deliver your desired outcome. One way to making certain your plan is sound is to have friends who are also goal driven. They will be able to give you feed back and to question specific parts of your plan, thereby allowing you to have a 360 degree overview of your map. The further you think into the future, the better decisions you will make in the present to assure that the future become a reality. The most effective way to stop your mind from worrying about the future is to use the pr

WANT TO BE GREAT?

Of a truth, I can tell that almost all the great men that lives or ever live, their greatness is attached to a hard work. Working hard is not negotiable as far as greatness is concern. It is quite funny when even a lazy fellow dreams of becoming great. It is your dream, but you have to pay for its actualization. Most people want to be great, but few are ready to pay the price. I believe great men are those who dares to put lots of dedication and commitment in things they do than other fellow. You can’t keep doing things the same way and expect an extraordinary result – Albert Einstein says NO to that! Think great, plan great, work great, then you will live great and be remembered as great.

YOUR PAST DOESN’T DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE, YOUR PRESENT DOES

No matter how rough a past is; a change in attitude, behavior and believe can make the future a diamond filled one. If a U-turn is taken from the present by giving a victorious approach towards the future, the past will be gone. On getting to your future after a change in the present, the present will now be accounted as the past, while the former past will just be a mere experience. Also, the past determines the present as the present determines the future, that is, the present is an intermediary, a deciding point where one has the chance or opportunity to continue in the old life (past) or to begin a fresh life (future). The present matters a lot as it is the last card to the last end, which is the future. Past are gone, the present needs a good attention and a right decision,   the future lies await The past will be remembered forever if the present is mismanaged. ·            Attitude ·            Behavior ·            Believe These 3 gives hope for a be
