Progressive Reflection


Progressive Reflection 👇🏾

One of the least most popular topics in the business of life is CONTROL.

(Yes, life is business. Your life is your business and if you learn how to manage it well you'd have self-fulfillment, progress, contentment, peace of mind, positive influence, and a lasting legacy that outlives you.)

By control, I mean progressive reflection.

In business management, control is simply looking back to understand what aspects of planning worked and didn't work for a business/organization over a period of time; and helpful actions to take going forward that contribute to the success of the business.

You need to engage progressive reflection occasionally in order to lead a purposeful life.

If you live in a busy city like Lagos, I know it's harder for you to engage in progressive reflection because there's much more to distract you from your most important business, you.

But eventually, it's up to you to decide if you would prefer living on autopilot or living with a purpose.

If you study the biographies and lifestyle of high achievers (the 1% of the 1%), you would discover that they are very big on progressive reflection. They are intentional and detail-oriented. They meditate daily and practice mindfulness.

To move forward in life sometimes, we must look backwards for lessons. You can't experience holistic progress without investing time for progressive reflection.

To unstuck yourself and end unpleasant loops, you must practice progressive reflection because through the process of progressive reflection, you get to uncover your self-limiting blindspots.

Today, I encourage you to practice progressive reflection. Think deeply about those things you're currently struggling with. Mentally go to their roots to know what has not been helping you improve and what you should do to change your life for the best.

You have control over your life, don't lose it.

PS: This photo was taken after my very first time interviewing job applicants. At the time, my previous MD had an important business meeting to attend, so he delegated that duty to humble me. The success of the interview process wouldn't have been possible without the support of the company's secretary at the time.

WINNING PEOPLE OVER

We all have a few things in common: we want to be liked, loved and happy. Some people make us feel special, others make us feel significant, while others can make us discouraged, small and unimportant. The saying goes, “how you make others feel about themselves, says a lot about you” reigns true. When you lack ability to make people feel good about themselves it does nothing more than showcase your own raggedness for the world to see.  As leaders who believe that people matter, we must become masters at making people feel great – to build and maintain lasting relationships, to consistently influence (in a good way) the people around us, to always make people feel better about themselves, and to become the kind of people everyone wants to be around.    Some tips on making people feel great about themselves include:

EFFECTIVE FOLLOW UP

I understand the fear. No one wants to be annoying or bothersome to a professional contact, especially when you want a job, meeting, sales, sponsorship or something else very important from that person. If you don’t get a response right away, it doesn’t mean that person’s arrogantly ignoring you—it just may mean that he or she is too busy.  So, to the question: Should you follow up? Absolutely.
