3. 1 – Emotional Intelligence
● Be aware of your emotions
● Manage your emotions
● Be positive about yourself and your
environment

4. 2 – Calm Mind Like Water
● Calm Mind
● Mind Like Water
● Be on top of things
● Make to-do lists to free up “thinking
space” in your brain
● Let your thoughts flow
● Think things over

5. 3 – Daily Practise
● Appreciate your here and now
● Be thankful for what you have
● Make it a daily practise to give thanks
● Meditate or calm your mind (see 2)

6. 4 – Believe in what you do
● Have a go-get-it attitude
● GTS – getting sh* done
● Be positive
● Be convinced about yourself
● Convince others of yourself
● Be a good leader to your team; lead by

7. 5 – Do Things for Others
● Put other interests before yours
● Think win/win
● Look after the interest of everyone
involved
● Create a positive environment and a
positive idea flow in your working
environment

8. 6 – Do it for Yourself
● This is not contradictory to no. 5
● See the reason why you do what you
are doing
● There is a reason in anything you do
and the job you do, the deal you close,
the people you meet
● Use challenges as opportunities to grow
● Be selfish (sometimes)

9. 7 – Things for a Reason
● As of no. 6 there is a reason
● Once you resolve one issue, there will
be another challenge to resolve
● You will be given tasks by the greater
universe – embrace those
● If you solved everything at your current
job, you will move on; if you leave before
you do, you will get the same challenge
again until you resolve it

10. 8 – Love your Enemy
● Your enemy can be your challenge (no. 7)
● Learn from your enemy
● Learn from internal and external
stakeholders & enemies
● Each challenge, each conversation, each
argument gives you an opportunity to
grow

11. 9 – Everything is going to be
OK
● Things are going to ok at the end. If they
aren’t ok, it isn’t the end.
● Death comes to all of us human beings
● No reason to mull things over and over,
some things just sort themselves out
● Don’t worry

12. 10 – Power of Now
● You can always ever change any given
moment: NOW
● Never forget this
● Your action might have an impact on the
future
● Your action won’t have an impact on the
past
● You cannot change anything past or
before the NOW

13. Thank You.
