Once you believe in delivering diamond, you are a
diamond. On a particular day if you work with sincerity you feel different, you
feel differently in your energy levels also, you look different, and your
internal world goes on top of the world. You remain composed while you deliver
and create the value for valuable customers. Try to know what makes a
difference to the customers.
What makes them
excited.
Eastman had saved 300 dollars. He wanted to go for a
vacation. One of his friends asked him to take a camera. He bought the camera,
but then he understood why a camera was a luxury for the rich. He cancelled his
vacation. He started developing his knowledge of photography for the
development of cameras and reducing the process for developing the film. He read
all the books on photography and in 1892 founded Eastman Kodak. Today, Kodak
has the punch line, “We preserve beautiful memories” and he simplified the
function
of
camera to the extent that even a child could take pictures just by clicking and
become a photographer. Whenever we commit ourselves to something, we actually
need to understand it in its true meaning.
4. Ask with
Conviction
Whenever
you ask anybody about anything, ask with a belief, and with full conviction.
Mohan Singh Oberoi applied for a job in Hotel Cecil, Shimla. Cecil was being
run by D. W. Grobes. M. S. Oberoi directly met MrGrobes. He said that he could take dictation.
But that position was not vacant. Then suddenly he said, “I can do anything for
value addition to your hotel.” His conviction was strong. Mr Grobes appointed
him as an office assistant. Here is the strong conviction now.
Immediately he applied for
accommodation. Mr Grobes got irritated for a while but then noticed the courage
of this young man. He had the power to ask for whatever he needed. Rest is
history for the hotel industry.
5. Be Focused to
be Successful
Check your position. Where are you? Now
see your surroundings and feel what you have achieved. If you are satisfied,
then OK; if not, then find the next level of your life. The initial period of
Eastman Kodak was downhill. He was not able to survive. He learnt how to handle
accounts by dint of hard work. He got a job in a bank.
Generally, here the
people become accomplished, but in the case of Eastman Kodak, that was not the
situation. I have already said that you get what you see.
You
attract what you want to attract, your vision decides your destiny.
Once
I was flying from Delhi to Mumbai.

The
person next to me was the P. A. to late
|
|
|
Dhirubhai Ambani.
I was just
thrilled by
|
|
|
listening to
the vision of
Dhirubhai from
|
|
|
him when
Indian Express tried
to snub
|
|
|
him.
Because of that, he became even more
|
|
|
|
|
powerful.
When he was paralysed, he became more powerful mentally. Just watch his
reframing power. It is not the event, but your vision of the event that makes
the difference. Whether it was created by God or by a human being he challenged
both. I always see him as the master of problem management and the same concept
is known as disaster management in the corporate world.
First decide your goals and what you want to
achieve. Once you have decided your destination, decide what are the different
ways to create your SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity and threat) analysis.
In SWOT, strength and weakness are internal. You have a direct control on these
factors. But opportunities and threats are external. While going to the next
level, do what you want to do, even if nobody helps you. Think and see that you
are alone and what and how best you can do as an individual.
