Ten Tips for Making Every Contact Count LEARN MORE, EARN MORE

Getting the MOST Out of Today! 1. Evaluate yourself on today’s concepts. When you hear something that might improve your performance, don’t say to yourself “I knew that” but ask yourself, “How good am I at that?” Self-evaluation is the first step to improving your performance.

2. The objective is to make yourself better. That’s why you came in the first place. Find the golden ideas and convert them to your world. Leave with new things that will help you… don’t leave with the same information you came in with. Search for 3 things you can start doing differently tomorrow.

3. Take this information and adapt it to your situation. Think “how” can I make this work in our environment with my team and clients. Try to adapt these principles as soon as you hear them.

4. Don’t do it like Tim does it. Do it like you do it. Modify Tim’s concepts and words to your own personality and style.

5. All ideas won’t work all the time. So what...very few things in life work all the time. Decide what WILL work and concentrate on those ideas.

6. Take great notes. All your ideas from today’s program can fall victim to the everyday work that awaits you after the event. Too many times great information goes uncultivated before it has a chance to be implemented. Capture your ideas completely and then share them with a colleague who didn’t attend this session. This increases your success of doing things you might put off for months...maybe forever.

7. Ask anything any time. Challenge anything any time. If you don’t understand, ask why. Write down questions as they occur to you and ask them at the first appropriate moment.
