Winning is not about having the best strategy. It is about what you want. It is also about what matters to you.

If you don’t know what you want, winning is going to be very had for you. But if you start with your own end in mind, then you will know how to play your game. And you will know when to stop playing.

According to Adele Gambardella, ‘When interacting with a boss, colleague, or someone in your personal life, don’t just listen to the words that are said. Focus on the person’s emotions, themes and word choices, body positions, and the quality of their voice…’

‘Strive to understand a person’s emotional drivers.’

‘Use Minimal Encouragers and Maximum Compliments to get people to open up to you and reveal their true thoughts and feelings.’

‘When you combine the ability to de-escalate with empathy, your power multiplies exponentially. By providing mitigation and not giving in to defensive postures and biting comments, your power will multiply even more.’

‘Changing someone’s mind is a lot more difficult than a formal negotiation. Starting off with your strongest point first is often a mistake because you’re likely to turn off the person you are trying to persuade, leaving them even more entrenched in their position.’

‘Confidence plays a significant role in your ability to convince. Coming off as either over- or under-confident can keep you from effectively selling yourself and your ideas.’

‘While having confidence in yourself, your team, or your company is important, do not belittle your competitors in an effort to build up your side. It turns off your audience.’

‘Business is about give and take, but there is a shelf life for an ask. If you want reciprocity in business- you must act quickly.’

‘Acknowledge the challenges and praise the successes of the people you wish to convince. You will make them feel seen and respected.’

‘When someone is in a heightened emotional state, try to establish an empathetic connection to their concerns, feelings, and perception of reality.’

Creating A Better Future

Who are you? What do you want? And where do you want to go? If you know what you want, where you want to go, are you getting closer? If not, why?

If you want to create a better future for yourself, you have got to prove it to yourself. You have got to do things differently.

When you do the same thing, you will get the same thing. When you prove it to yourself that you are capable of making things happen, you will land in a whole new place.

According to Johnny Wimbrey, ‘Prove to yourself that you value your future, and commit to seeing that feeling of value come to fruition.’

‘You are the only one who decides whether you are going to give up and make excuses about it or execute your dream and participate in your own rescue.’

‘You cannot respond until you have faith in yourself and your ability to succeed. Success should be a foregone conclusion. Be faithful to your future self in your actions today.’

‘You will never learn to value yourself and your efforts if you let the Instigators and Spectators infect your life, your goals, and your mindset.’

‘You cannot handle all this nay-saying if you don’t have faith in your dream. Use these negative opinions to build up that faith and strengthen your character.’

‘No one is qualified to push my vision into reality except me.’

‘No one will take a risk on you if you aren’t willing to put yourself and your self-worth on the line.’

‘Without the right character in place and without knowing who you are and what you are capable of, you will never achieve and maintain true success.’

‘You must participate in your own rescue.’

‘Do you have the tenacity and commitment to find someone you deserve?’

‘Someone else’s mentality has nothing to do with your reality.’
