Observe and be aware
At first, observation and awareness will require
conscious effort on your part. Over time, they will become instinctive and will
be some of your most valuable skills.
In business, you see ads and get ideas for your
ads. You stop in stores and get ideas for your store. There is no point in
re-investing the wheel. If a proven strategy already exists, find it and try
it.
In self-defense, you enter a movie theater and you
make a mental note of the exits. You walk down an unfamiliar street and
automatically scan for the unusual.
Listen to the speech patterns of powerful people.
Be silent. Think twice and speak once. Be an active listener. Look at the
person who is talking. Don’t interrupt. Be aware of their body language. Listen
and they will like you. It is arrogant to not listen. Your self-confidence in
mind and body will create a charismatic aura.
To observe and stay aware, ask questions, get
informed, get involved, read newspapers, magazines and books and watch the
news.
