While sitting in the office, I was communicating about Iranian food. Iranian food is tasty. I liked it.
I really like the chullo kaaba. But suddenly, it came to my mind: What am I trying to convey? What message am I going to deliver?
This message conveys that I am a food lover and that I like Iranian food.
There are two major points here: will it impact someone?
So the most important thing I release in building reputation is what type of impact you want to create on others.
So I changed my approach. But the problem is, what is the starting point? The starting point is the power of intention.
I was listening to an Operah Winfery video where she talks about the “power of intention.” She said that before the age of 40, she was a pleasing person.
So she pleases others, but when others demand more, she starts to revolt.
Then she released the power of intention. She talks about the seat of the soul.
Then she shared the idea that intention is the soul of action—it fuels passion in action.
So I decided to change my ways. I started before speaking about what type of impact I wanted to create on others.
But before deeply implementing this idea of the power of intention, I was thinking
What happened to me? Why did I start to talk about general topics? With too much work in the past, I got fed up with the same types of jobs. So I lost interest in my work.
So I started to talk in general terms. Talk about food; talk about places.
But as a result, it creates a very poor impression of me. That is a big problem for me as a professional. I am statistically significant based on the work I have done. I learned what people did not know about my work. They know about my taste in food, but not my quality of work. As a result, I became less worthy.
Certainly they have word of mouth, but how do you create these words of mouth? That is what you told others.
Who you are, what you are doing, and what are your achievements—but most importantly, what are your failures? Don’t share your failure.
That all comes from one principle, and that is intention. So I start to think in a way that makes me comprehensible. What I already achieved,
So I start thinking in terms of who I am. What have I achieved? What can I do?
So the most important thing I learned from the video of Operh Winfery is intuition. What I am gone say, what is my itension.
Either way, that other person knows that I am a food-loving person. Or a good consultant. What I know is that I started to think in terms of
What type of impact do I want to create on others?
