In order to be inviting, you must be approachable. Why all this? All marketing is built on this solid premise: "people buy from people first & then the product or service. Let's reverse this to test it. Be uninviting, not approachable & you summon loneliness, failure & loss all by your own hand. No need argue, to be unpleasant or disagreeable for there is no gain in the doing of these things. Actually, they are confirmed take-a-ways & subtract from your heart's desires & portion here on earth. So, what to do visits with everyone. Here it is visiting with you now
WANT MORE DOORS TO OPEN?
Below are some keys that will unlock closed doors personal & professional when engaged or activated & then deployed. They don't guarantee a result but instead make you eligible for one. THINK: no chance of winning the lotto unless you buy a ticket. Using the below is your winning ticket to better results guaranteed
APPROACHABLE DEFINED: friendly & easy to talk to letting others approach you
INVITING DEFINED: offering the promise or suggestion of an attractive or enjoyable experience. NOTE: This should emanate (flow-out) from your pores
REACHABLE: To be accessible & contactable plus being interested at large
TEACHABLE: Willing to learn, grow, & adapt by accepting feedback & input
INTERPERSONAL INTERACTIONS
Relating & communicating with others is no myth & words will not substitute for actions here. One must know what they are doing & talking about in order to successfully engage another person's interest. Small talk only goes so far
NOT SPEAKING of INTELLECT
Being genuine, honest, transparent & interested are the driving forces. Thinking won't help either nor rehearsing ahead of time. Being real, vulnerable & risking exposure of self to another opens them up to do the same without prompting too
USE THIS FREQUENTLY
If you want to make a first impression, a firm, attractive foot in the door is in using the replies of YES, NO & I DON'T KNOW. What you will find is instant common ground as those three appeal to everyone. Wielding them needs to be learned
I DON'T KNOW
Those three words, in their own right, are so powerful when unleashed. How? Al don't know but want to making your use of "IDK" an instant bonding. Humility may join you too if done right. Then from there, all things are possible & doable
NO ONE HAS BEEN HERE BEFORE
But others have been here before you. You can learn from others mistakes or you can learn from your own, but you must learn or be left behind. Keeping current on results, i.e. what works & lack of results, i.e. what doesn't work is mandatory
WORTHY NOTE: Don't be willful, forceful, domineering or controlling. Relax will U?
WE ARE ALL ROOKIES
To be a beginner or novice who is new to a particular activity, circumstance, issue or situation whether personal or professional qualifies (rookies) you. Children are born rookies. Adults continue rookiness as they travel new worlds & adventures.
WORK ON THE SELF FIRST & OFTEN
What good is school, learning, degrees & opportunities if you don't know how to wield, handle & direct it all. Working on "first" person is literal & you can practice on other people to become better. Got a mentor? Lucky U. If not, learning curves & trial & error will teach as well as hard knocks, embarrassments & failures. Get to it
COLLATERAL PRINCIPALS
1. Manners invites others to tolerate & consider helping you. You never know
2. Being courteous i.e. polite, respectful & considerate blasts doors open!
3. Asking questions will give you a return that exceeds diplomas & intellect
4. Being a good listener, a type of living patience is enduring & long-lasting
TAKING YOU UNDER THE WING
If you can find someone that will provide, care, protect & nurture you, personal as in an intimate relationship or professional as in mentor or on the job training, then you have a blessing on your hands, a good fortune & boost to your life journey
WHAT OUT FOR THIS
Without getting to know someone or be known by someone, while in training or gaining an edge or advantage, your opinions can hurt you. You need to receive, not so much as give, when starting out. If asked, then answer but make it humble
LIVE not EXIST
Watching another trying to achieve, or that has achieved is fascinating. Role modeling works on those needing temporary roles until they find their identity & know how. Live out your life by reducing thinking & watch those comfort zones & time-outs for life has only a on switch
