No one will deny the fact that if they are able to accelerate their performance, they can climb the rungs of their career ladder quickly, or if they are entrepreneurs, they can completely transform their business, achieve big surges in sales and profits, and move to the next levels faster. How can you accelerate your performance? Before knowing this, you should understand what acceleration of performance is and why you must continuously strive to do so.
Performance acceleration is nothing but increasing the speed at which you carry out your related activities, of course without compromising the quality of your work. Not taking the right steps to accelerate your performance on a continuous basis will result in the asphyxiation of your goals, however great or noble they may be, or however strong-willed you are. Experts have repeatedly been emphasizing that if you adopt a few specific methods, you can certainly see a visible and positive impact on your performance. Though these methods may differ from one person to another, there are a few that are common to everyone. Let us delve a little deep into these common methods.
1. Try to work to your full potential.
Not everyone is working to their fullest potential. You may also not work to your full potential. You may be in denial of this fact, though, in the heart of your hearts, you are aware of it. But why are you not able to work to your full potential? The reason is that almost every one of us gets overwhelmed by trivial things in life. Due to this, we lose our focus. How can you focus on your life or career goal when you get diverted by unimportant matters or activities? If you are an entrepreneur and if you allow your efficient hours to slip through your fingers by focusing on not-so-urgent and not-so-important matters, you will lose several smackeroos of sales. You may lose customers as well.
Let us look at an analogous situation on your domestic front. Let us assume that you have bought an appliance for use at your home. According to the reviews you have perused before your purchase, the appliance is a high-powered one and is supposed to work to its full potential. But what will be your reaction if you find that the performance of the appliance is not to your satisfaction? You should have the same feeling if you do not carry out your activities with all your efficiency, sincerity, and potential.
Therefore, you should make conscious efforts to perform optimally regardless of the activity you undertake.
2. Change your mindset.
What is the major difference between high performers and those who come out with mediocre performances? The difference lies in their mindset. While the former group possesses an "I can" attitude, those who belong to the latter group are habituated to uttering phrases such as "we cannot do this," "this sucks," "this is not possible at all," and so on.
High performers, with their positive mindset, are able to step up their efforts even when challenging situations confront them. On the other hand, those who possess a negative attitude struggle and even wilt under pressure. If you belong to this latter group, it is high time you take immediate steps to change your mindset. The point is that if you approach any situation, however challenging it may be, with an "I can" attitude, you will amazingly find that innumerable possibilities are clearly "visible" to you. Of course, the process of changing your attitude needs persistence and consistent practice.
Self-talk is one of the best tools that can help you change your mindset. Of course, you have to assess your improvement on a daily basis. But once you achieve small successes with your changed attitude, you will get motivated to a great extent.
In short, you have to make conscious efforts to accelerate your performance. Even if the speed of your activities increases by 50%, it will get you mammoth results.
Excellent 👌
