Stop And Think

by Rick Baker
On May 3, 2011
I notice ‘Stop And Think’ is a common thread in self-help literature.
 
On the other hand, maybe I notice it because I am predisposed to finding it?
 
I notice an array of Stop And Think recommendations:
  • Stop And Think before you act…an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
  • Stop And Think before you react…social skills and conflict resolution education
  • Stop And Think and Grow Rich1…“what Man can conceive and believe Man can achieve
One piece of Stop And Think advice really catches my attention:
 
Stop And Think about how you feel
 
 That is the most powerful piece of Stop And Think advice.
 
It is most powerful because, with practice, it can be done very quickly, it can yield immediate rewards, and it can solidify long-term success.
 
Stop And Think about how you feel can be done quickly…
 
It is as easy as taking a few seconds to make a mental note as you face situations and activities.
 
Stop And Think about how you feel can yield immediate rewards, with practice

You can learn to adjust your feelings and behaviour.
You can replace Bad Habits with Good Habits.
You can be more comfortable in situations.
You can do better at many tasks.
 
Stop And Think about how you feel can solidify long-term success…
 
You can uncover the nuances of your unique Strengths. That’s a major key to success.
You can develop a more pleasing personality. That’s another major key.
You can hone your decision-making skills. That’s another major key.
You can find it easier to set life goals. That’s another major key.
You can enjoy your work. That’s another major key.
Stop And Think About How You Feel
Success Simplified

Sales Tweet #207

On May 3, 2011
Sales Tweet #207 When Ernest told Mr. Kaye he dreamt he did a Million $ deal Mr. Kaye said, “No wonder you look so tired”.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
You remember Mr. Kaye…Ernest Seller's favourite Client…did I ever tell you Mr. Kaye worked as a lumberjack before he became Ernest Seller's #1 Client. It's true. Mr. Kaye worked as a lumberjack…but he couldn’t hack it…so they gave him the axe.
