Ten Rounds
Jackie’s 10 Rounds to Success
There are no shortcuts to success and no magic words. But most successful people got that way by following certain basic rules. These are ten of my top tips to being successful…
1. Develop a thick skin. Don’t be overly sensitive.
2. Never let anyone see you sweat. Act like things are cool even when they aren’t.
3. Watch the swearing. Talk like a professional.
4. Ask questions and admit when you don’t know something. People love to show off and tell you how much they know. It’s a great way to learn things.
5. Sit up straight and carry yourself proudly. Bad posture gives off a signal of insecurity. Never slouch.
6. Eye contact is imperative. Look people straight in the eye and try not to be the first to look away.
7. Laugh sparingly. When something is funny-laugh. But avoid mindless giggling. It denotes nervousness.
8. Smile a lot. This is one of your best tools.
9. Use good grammar and big words. It intimidates people (in a positive way!)
10. Package yourself well. Always look as good as possible.
