Outrageous Behaviour

Outrageous Behaviour

1. Networking with Bigger Thinkers
The best advice I ever had was from one of my mentors who said: Be careful who you let near your mind Jen, and that includes me! How many times have you surrounded yourself with people who think small, negatively or see the worst in everything? These people creep into your world and start gossiping and talking about how bad things are. If you are not diligently protecting your mind-space, you start speaking, thinking and behaving like them. Stop right now and take stock! Who is in your mental space that inspires you, causes you to think creatively and be in action? If you have someone, thats great, if you dont, list five people who you know or would like to know and make an appointment right now to meet them and spend time with them. Remember, YOU are in control of who you spend time with. You do NOT have to spend time with people who do not inspire you. If you must be with a draining person plan to limit the time with them. The best way to do this is to say at the start of the meeting or discussion: Look Ive only got 20 minutes to discuss this issue, is that ok with you?. Then stick to the time and at 18 minutes, say: OK, thats it for me, Ive got to go in 2 minutes. How outrageous!

2. Create Blatant Promotion Around You
If you want to turn your world around, start to promote, endorse and acknowledge friends, clients and colleagues. Tell everyone about them, their latest achievements, how they make a difference in the world. Be a promoter and endorser of the magnificent. Its a simple strategy and has far reaching impact as you are creating a world around you that is acknowledged and encouraged and you will also start to feel better about yourself. Remember, just one positive comment can make the world of difference to someones confidence, courage and commitment. Stepping up and being the catalyst in this type of conversation is not the norm I say it should be the norm. Go on, be outrageous!

3. Random Acts of Generosity
Most mediocre moments are when a person has been focusing on themselves too much for too long. If this is you, lift your head up and notice the people around you and start to be of service to others. Random Acts of Generosity such as giving a compliment, smiling at someone, listening to another, paying the toll for the car behind you, letting someone else go first, giving flowers or small gifts, just because you can, will lift you and the other person out of the slumber of mediocrity and sameness and spark a light of possibility, potential and power. In my experience, I have found that mediocre people say and do nothing and expect everything. Magnificent people say and do what needs to be said and done and expect nothing. Generosity kills mediocrity. What a simple yet outrageous thought!
