Don’t chase money
It’s not about chasing money, many people chase their dreams and their dreams are only about being rich, this business of doing things just for the money can lead people to the wrong place; fulfil our dreams without having a goal or having a why? It will only lead us to feel incomplete.
Challenging the odds
“I’m very proud to be able to escape the clutches of the goals that others imposed on me when I was sixteen and twenty years old, like most people who grow up in the neighborhood” If Daymond John could defy the odds and become a person like he is today, we may think that if he could do it, then we can do it.
Good morning routine
It is important to have a good routine that helps us to stay. As well as allowing us to be productive, for example, Daymond had a routine of getting up reading his emails, getting on social media, eating something and going to work; he decided to change this; he now wakes up reads his goals, exercises, eats healthy, has in his schedule medical appointments a month, spend time with his family, this makes his days more productive.
Ask yourself why?
We should always ask ourselves why are we doing it, even though some people have fewer luxuries than others, and they have to go out to work to keep everything under financial control, we need to wonder why they do it, that’s where we will realize what we want and where we want to get to with what we do.
Having a good team
It is important to choose people willing to work as a team and who contribute to each project, this rule is also shared by Roger Federer in our previous article 7 Roger Federer rules for Success; Daymond John chooses people for his team considering how they solve problems, notices people’s impulse, plus these people need to know how to communicate with the team and should be very clear about the things they like.
Reprogramming our mind
We must all reschedule our way of thinking since it is not a matter of still being the same as a few years ago, or that things are the same as a few years ago, if we do not do well, we must look for new alternatives, as well as relate to people who do things differently; in the business world, people who have been in business for many years have reprogrammed themselves and now use social networks to offer their products and services.
Solving things
We must find a way to solve things, Daymond advises to make a list of the things we hate and another list where the things we love are written, so that we can focus more on what we like and we can work to move forward on that, on the other hand, we also overcome the weaknesses that we have that are the things we hate and take them away from our lives.
