PPI #112: 10 SKILLS That Are HARD to Learn, BUT Will Pay Off FOREVER!

SUMMARY

Face Your Fears - A lot of people think that they need to be more confident in order to step into their fears, but they've got it wrong. The key skill to learn is that we step into our fears in order to build confidence.

Practice Curious Listening - Asking curiosity-based questions, will not only deepen your connection with a person, but also teach you things that you never would have perhaps known before. This can be important for your own development as well.

Practice Single Tasking - Did you know that the average person loses 13 weeks a year, an entire calendar quarter, because they are not working on one thing at a time? Eliminate your distractions!

80/20 Focus - 80/20 focus is simply recognizing that things are not all created equal. What are the 20% of the things that you can be focusing on for 80% of the benefit?

Get Some Sleep - A lot of people are not getting the recommended eight hours of sleep. It impacts their productivity. It impacts their ability to achieve their goal. Ultimately it impacts their ability to get to where they want to in life.

Pause! - When something happens that triggers the worst in you, do not respond right away. Pause between whatever is triggering you and responding so that you can choose the best response, the response that's congruent with who you are at your best.

Step into Difficult Conversations - It's not confidence that we need to have a difficult conversation. It's stepping into the difficult conversation that will build the confidence we seek.

Create Consistency - Working constantly at an 80% level is better than on occasion 100%, and then 60% or 50%. 

Find an Expert - There are experts out there to help you in your quest to achieve whatever it is that you want. If you can develop the comfort to get out there and reach and connect to them, you can acquire the expertise that you need.

Manage your time well!
