How To Enhance Your Life - Dean Amory

THE AMAZING SUCCESS SECRET ANYONE CAN
START USING TODAY
However there is one success secret that costs nothing. And we can all use it today to get ahead
more quickly. I am talking about cultivating exceptional people skills in a way that puts you ahead
of the crowd, in a way that respects and honours the people you deal with in your life.
Ironically when we neglect people skills the complex business and social infrastructure of our
world can fall over in a moment. What do I mean?
Have you ever walked into the store of a major nationwide retailer and walked through the
multimillion dollar premises only to find nobody to serve you?
Have you ever phoned your bank and got a busy signal or even worse got cut off despite their huge
customer service focused advertising campaigns.
How about in your workplace? Have you ever done a fantastic job, stayed late to get it done and
felt taken for granted? The corporate slogan about caring for the welfare of the staff rings hollow
after this happens more than once.
On the other hand if you learn from the most successful individuals and companies you will find
one trait in common -- excellent people skills.
Here are three ways to become more successful by developing your people skills:
1 Learn from people who manage to remain cheerful in the face of massive challenges and
stress.
A good friend of mine was on the verge of losing his business last year but you would never have
guessed it. He was always smiling and confident things would get better. He somehow managed to
still treat his staff well even when he was worried about running out of money.
By listening to him and watching him cope with extreme financial pressure I learned a lot. His
belief that everything would work out kept him smiling even while facing some very dark hours.
You too need to become better under pressure. Anyone can cope well when things are going well.
It is only when you shine under pressure that you prove to yourself and the world that you are
destined for better things.
2 Exceptional people skills happen at the margin.
To go from average to good and from good to excellent is possible in a short time when you make
incremental improvements each day.
You do not need to change your personality or go on a two week course. Simply focus on listening
skills, on non verbal communication and on building confidence.
Read some good books, get advice from experts and apply what you learn. By making only very
slight improvements where it matters most you will quickly develop exceptional people skills.
