This is guaranteed to get your ATTENTION!

by Rick Baker
On Jan 6, 2012

You know what gets your attention?

  1. Pleasing and beautiful things,
  2. Surprising things, and
  3. Things that are out of place
Those 3 things get your attention.
 
But, those 3 things sure have a tough time getting your attention!
 
You know why those 3 things have such a tough time getting your attention?
  1. Your FOCUS1 and
  2. Their COMPETITION2
 
ATTENTION, actually the lack of success in capturing it, has led to some rather bizarre business activity...marketing activity, social media activity, etc.
 
 
Footnote:
  1. I am not picking on YOU here. When I say 'you' I mean almost all of us. The fact is, people have plenty of thoughts going on in their brains, all day, every day...some experts say as many as 50,000 thoughts/day. It is tough to FOCUS with all those thoughts keeping us so occupied.
  2. When you look out at the world you observe lots of stuff...their COMPETITION outnumbers THEM by orders of magnitude.

Thought Tweet #385

Thought Tweet #385 Workplace High-Pressure: does it cut the feet out from under your smartest people?
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
A high IQ doesn’t mean a high ability to work under stress. In fact, it is possible the opposite is true. Do you assume smart folks operate smart when the pressure is on? If so, perhaps, when the pressure is on people disappoint you.
