Move 25 percent faster to success

Today’s advice on how to be a success is the simplest of the five pieces of advice I will be giving in this series. in addition from personal experience I can tell you it works.

How can moving faster improve my self employment and work from home?

What’s interesting about this piece of advice is that I discovered it by people watching. I admit to being an avid people watcher when I am taking time out especially when on holiday.

During the day when the weather permits I like to eat my lunch   in a large square in front of where I work. About 10 years ago I noticed something about all the Directors of my organization had in common, they walked across the square considerably faster than every one else. Then I noticed people who you would class as ‘rising stars’ also did the same thing.

I mentioned this to my work colleagues and they laughed off my suggestion of a common link. However I was convinced there was a link. I faced an interesting dilemma, ‘How does a disabled person who already walks slower than average begin to walk faster than average?’. Then I realized what the actual effect of of walking faster was. The person walked more upright, made more eye contact and appeared to be confident.

So I adopted the approach of walking more upright and playing the ‘eye contact game’. My previous post on eye contact explained why it is important. The eye contact game is simple but effective. When you walk along the street and you make random eye contact with a stranger, smile and keep eye contact. You will find that 95% of people will break eye contact first. That simple act improves your confidence.

If you are able to move 25% faster then do so – all the time. People associate people who move quickly as people with a purpose, a mission. I have even found that if you do the same with your tasks the same effect occurs.

So in your self employment and work from home tasks do this simple thing, move 25% faster. Psychologists have done studies on this and proved that people perceive people who move with a purpose must be successful. The actual science is something called Neuro Linguistic Programing (NLP) which you can Wiki for further details and it’s worth getting a basic understanding of NLP.

So you action towards success is to move 25% faster all the time watch how people react to you.
