Most of us have experienced moments of success and fulfillment in our lives.  During these moments you feel unstoppable, as if you are in total control of internal affairs as well as external forces. It almost feels that you are living an experience outside your comprehension, where every part seems to fit with the subsequent other. These moments reflect a serene total harmony and compatibility of mind and spirit, where your surrounding external forces are aligned with inner energy and mental magnetic forces, creating the ultimate synergy of synchronization. These are certainly strong moments where events seem to defy logic and the customary.

How can you replicate these moments, if it’s at all possible?

To do this you need to intimately understand these moments to discern which strengths were in play, and how when combined they created the moment of exponential performance and euphoric satisfaction.

What makes a difference?

When you look and probe closely, the difference between someone with acceptable performance and someone whose performance is consistently near perfect is very trivial. Top performers are rarely doing anything theatrically dissimilar. Rather, the difference often resides in making a small number of better decisions.

The difference between average performance and stardom is often unnoticed but vital.  A few well-placed calls early or late in the day with decision-makers. A genuine follow-up call to assist a business owner with a situation that requires your expertise, an emotional signal picked up during a presentation to a client, or a fact added at the right moment that cements the necessity of acquiring the product/service. A few more well-placed questions followed by a few moments of deep listening without interruptions.

Near-perfect performance requires constant aptitude refinements, deepening of knowledge. It requires refinement of ideas and sophistication of behavior, deliberate mental training, fluidity of thoughts and strengthening of behavioral disciplines. The richer your bank of information, experiences and enlightenment’s, the faster your connectedness to these repeat moments of ultimately perfect performances. Circumstances and environments may vary, but the decision-makers’ requests are similar in terms of satisfaction of pressing business needs that are within budget and may improve a perceived gap.

A polished mind will understand these requirements and will emphasize the common mutual purpose to serve others to improve their business and life. Done artfully, it expands self-resourcefulness and awareness, which gradually leads to building a stellar trusted relationship of a growth mediator.

Here are few attributes that I observe can make these near-perfect moments a recurring event.

  1. Have a plan of action. The purpose of planning is to have a road-map with which you gauge your progress toward goal attainment. This planning provides well-defined measures in terms of output, time and effort required to achieve results. The more you practice, the shorter the cycle, the more refined the finished product and the higher the quantity and quality of output. Planning is key.
  2. Have a plan of progress. This task allows you to prioritize and sequence required activities by order of importance and urgency to avoid choke points. Your progress, achievements and velocity depend on this planning process, as it identifies the vital linear progression of your attained success and measures how close or far away you are from total completion of your goal within expected deadlines.
  3. Have a plan of visualized outcome. You cannot achieve a goal without visualizing it first. Your visualization need to be so vivid, so intense that you almost construct its reality in your mind. Only when you can see it, feel it and smell it with your conscious and subconscious mind can you turn it into an achievable reality, no matter how the odds are and no matter how denting its realization may be. Always think and plan on paper, but remember that your goal visual image must become a living reality in your daily life.
  4. Have a plan of recurring successEach time you experience success, you will experience a burst of elation, enthusiasm and heightened self-esteem and awareness. You will feel energized and invincible, certainly happier, and totally in control of your destiny. The key to recurring success resides in recalling at will these sensations when you are struggling, and experiencing diverse objections, push-backs and bottlenecks. By staying in a state of conscious connectedness with those moments, they will become the defining factors that will allow you to keep going against all odds with a sense of urgency. Your actions and persuasion skills will seek the recreation of an additional moment of happy peak performances to add to your repertoire of recurring successes.

Mental programming is vital to the recreation at will of these glorious moments that we experience often, but stored in a forgotten bank account that bears no interest. Mental bridges of connectedness are there to facilitate the connectedness, but it takes practice and the unison of consciousness with our subconscious mind to invoke these glorious moments that spur new energy necessary to stay the course until we win.
