Tips How To Develop a High Achiever

  1. High Achievers are in demand everywhere. They are the backbone of every successful business, every successful entertainment program, and much more. A parent would be foolish not to want their child to be a recognized as a student who failed this standard.
  2. What is a high achiever? The simple fact is, that there is no single definition, because it is governed by a child's personality profile.
  3. My purpose here is not get technical in personalities, but to recognize that the extroverted, expressive personality is going to manifest High Achievement status a little differently to the child who is intensely analytical.
  4. Your goal, therefore, is to uncover the strengths of each individual, and harness these in unique and powerful ways.
  5. That is not as difficult as it might appear. Each student tends to display his strengths - and his weaknesses. So all you need to do is observe.
  6. Does this child like to sit alone and read? Then

How to Become an Achiever

Have you ever felt like you were wasting too much time? Procrastinating? Pushing all your work to near deadline date. Cramming for exams, midterms, rushing 2000-words essays, assignments... Well, I can tell you that you're not alone. We can both relate to this frustrating problem we've been facing for as long as we've been in school.

I, too, used to procrastinate like a procrastinating addict. I was too lazy to do anything. Pushing all works to the end and all that fun stuff. But, living through those times then actually improving yourself... I've also experienced. Here, I can provide you with a 4-step quick read about how I came to this enlightenment to motivate myself.

First and most important, you must realize what you want in life. Like really, what do you want in life? I know this may sound stupid and a waste of time. But, really, it's one of the most important steps. This will create the foundation of your motivation. This should be what will drive you do to get what you want as soon as possible. I, myself, want to become financially independent and move out of my parents house. And this is what gave me the wake up call I needed. This is my goal.

Second, you must map out exactly how you want to get there. Since you know where you are now (PhD in Procrastination) and you should know where you want to be (ie. financial independence, Grade "A" student). So how will you get there? All you have to do is list down the things that you have to do to get there. A grade "A" might say, start all assignments the day of, study a minimum of 20 hours per week, read 1-2 chapters of the textbook per week or assigned reading, attend to class every time (never miss one intentionally) and always be one step ahead of the class. In my case, what I would do to become financially independent, save 80% of all income, don't spend money recklessly, invest my income in GIC accounts in the bank, blogging (work hard enough to generate

3 Keys To Identifying A Sales Achiever In A Hiring Interview

How can you identify the great salesperson in a job interview? Well, it's not easy.

First of all, true sales virtuosos are scarce, even though there are many good salespeople and sales is one of the most common and necessary types of jobs. Also, research shows that the job interview is notoriously unreliable as a predictor of job performance. And it's even worse if you are interviewing salespeople. Because if there is one thing that all salespeople - from the great ones to the average ones - have in common, it is the ability to interview exceptionally well.

So, how can you use an interview to increase your "hit rate" in hiring the best salespeople? Naturally, you want to look at their history, references, performance on per-employment tests, and the like. You want to ask the usual interview questions (Tell me about yourself. Why did you leave your last job? What are your strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures? Etc.).

But salespeople are experts at getting past a typical interviewer. So here's your challenge: How can you turn the odds in your favor? How can you interview in a manner that will reveal whether the person sitting across the desk from you will be first string on your sales team or will be a sales underachiever?

As a psychologist who has spent decades interviewing and counseling salespeople, I have learned that there are certain patterns that keep coming up so frequently in interviews that they have become highly predictable. Using the power of communication, here are 3 powerful interview tools to add to your interview approach:
1. "How will our company be better off if we hire you?" This is the mother of all hiring questions. It speaks to whether the sales applicant is focusing on your bottom line. Most applicants are primarily worried about how to explain themselves and how they come across in an interview. But you want to see if their major focus is on helping your company become more successful. Especially in sales, you are looking for
