How the World Sees You
in 7 Kernaussagen verstehen

Kernaussage 1 von 7

What’s in it for me? The path to success comes by being more like yourself.

Are you eager to succeed and make more of your talents? Chances are, then, that you’ve already consulted a few self-help books or manuals on how to maximize your skill set. These manuals probably advised you that, first of all, you have to change in some fundamental way. If you’re an introvert, you should become the life of the party in six simple steps; if you’re a creative, somewhat chaotic person, you were probably told to stay organized, keep your desk clean and follow strict schedules.

Well, did it work? Not likely.

This is exactly the approach you won’t find in these blinks. The truth is, you don’t need to change at all! The key to being successful is to find out who you really are and then create the perfect niche that matches your unique traits and talents.

In these blinks, you’ll find out

the connection between an unnamed Mesopotamian from 3500 BC and Steve Jobs;
why you might be a bit like a long-last artistic masterpiece; and
how your efforts to sell your groundbreaking ideas are like the attention span of a goldfish.

You’ll only succeed in the right environment, and some indicators can tell you if you’re there or not.

Perhaps you’ve heard this story: a priceless painting is sitting up in some forgotten attic, collecting dust for decades. Then, one day, someone stumbles upon it and sets off a million-dollar bidding war. Do you ever feel like that painting, waiting for someone to recognize your potential?

The problem is, you have to be in the right environment for people to notice your unique talents and the great things you have to offer.

Take Joshua Bell. He’s one of the world’s most famous violinists – but even a musical genius needs the right environment.

He participated in an experiment in which he busked anonymously in a Washington, D.C., subway station. While he played, the people passing through the station were naturally caught up in their daily routines and failed to notice his amazing talent. In the end, he only made $32.12 whereas, under normal circumstances, he could easily earn $45,000 for a single performance.

So, whether it is a priceless painting, Joshua Bell or you, without the right environment your talent will go unnoticed. You need to stay on the lookout for the kind of environment that will maximize your unique contributions.

Luckily, there are some simple indicators that can tell you when you’ve found it – or if you might already be there.

A good sign is when your boss approaches you to ask for your feedback and advice. The same goes for when clients decide to work with you rather than with more affordable competitors; this shows you that your good work is being recognized.

On the other hand, you might not be in the right environment if your emails and calls are going unreturned. And if you’re self-employed, it should raise a red flag if you have to attract clients by offering the lowest price.

So, finding the right environment is crucial to success, and in the next blink we’ll take a look at the obstacles that can stand in your way.

To succeed, you need to overcome distraction, competition and the threat of being a commodity.

Let’s say you’ve finally finished that novel you’ve been working on. How can you get it published and get on your way to becoming a famous author?

There are three things you must be aware of.

When you are fascinated, you are in a state of flow and perform at your best.

Are there things in your life that fascinate you and allow you to forget the world around you?

Fascination allows you to enter a state of flow, a psychological state in which you can focus on something completely. The stronger your fascination, the more likely you are to enter into this state.

Knowing about fascination advantages can help you succeed, and the first one is power.

Were you ever scolded as a child for doing what came naturally? Perhaps you were too bossy, too cautious or too hyperactive. But childhood traits like these could prove to be the foundation for your greatest strengths, or your fascination advantages.

There are seven fascination advantages and each of them has a unique way of helping you perform better.

The passion advantage is about people and emotions, while the mystique advantage is about loving facts.

Do you know someone who’s always the life of the party? These are the kinds of people who exude charisma and have that magnetic personality that draws people to them. If so, chances are you know someone who has the passion advantage.

People with the passion advantage are friendly, emotionally open and can connect quickly with other people.

While the prestige advantage drives people to excel, the alert advantage is about caring for details.

When you finish a project, do you always feel you could have done better? Then you might fit the bill for the next advantage.

The prestige advantage is all about striving for excellence and the desire for self-optimization.

The innovation advantage is about having new ideas and people with a trust advantage are very reliable.

In Mesopotamia, somewhere around 3500 BC, someone came up with the brilliant idea of the very first wheel. While we don’t know anything about the inventor, it’s a safe bet that this person’s fascination advantage was the innovation advantage.

As the name suggests, the innovation advantage characterizes people who are always coming up with new ideas.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
