Lots of people want to become influential and gain followers. But they don’t have a plan on how to do that.
Here are six different practices that you can incorporate into your life, together or separately, to increase your circles of influence.
1. Show Up
Day in and day out, you have to show up and do the work. Even when it’s not sexy. Even when it’s not fun. Even when no one’s looking and you won’t get credit for it.
You have to grind no matter what and have the discipline to make the struggle personal. It can’t be something you’ll easily walk away from. Making a commitment is what inspires and influences.
2. Be Present
Tune it and don’t get distracted in your personal interactions with people. If you’re face to face with someone, look them in the eye. If you’re on a call, don’t check on your social media during it.
Everyone knows when someone isn’t present or distracted. Give people your full attention if you want to have credibility and influence with them.
3. Be The Success
Your life is ever evolving. So don’t judge it or let yourself get bogged down by unimportant obstacles.
Even when things aren’t going your way, your struggle continues. Others are watching and looking to see how you’ll react. Because they are looking for help too and you might be the one to show them the way. Be the success in order to influence.
4. Teach Them How To Think
People’s minds need as much caring as their bodies. So you need to help them understand their thought patterns as much as their physical progress.
You especially have an obligation if they’re not doing very well in life. Working on details can seem important, but teaching people to understand themselves better is more valuable. Sharing your life’s value, perspectives, discoveries of how you overcame the common obstacles of life are the real gold in the influence mountain.
5. Help People Out Of Their Own Way
Similar to the last idea, help people get out of their own way by observing how their lack of success may be self-inflicted.
Many times we can’t see what’s right in front of us. Our habits and biases keep us in endless cycles of repetition that allow life to pass us by. Your outside viewpoint can help people work on the obstacles put there by them. When you can open someone’s eyes, and then give them a plan on how to get to the next level, you become an influence in that life.
6. Serve
This one’s the most therapeutic. Help out whenever you can. It’s a great lotion for the soul and you’ll never lack for people to be around.
The mental change that occurs when you serve and help others is alone worth doing this. Practicing this and gratitude will attract the kinds of people for whom those values are considered important. Those are the good people you want in your life.
Gain the spiritual high ground and roll all these steps together. You’ll find your influence and circle of friends growing in no time and the tribe you’re looking to build will pitch a tent and stay right beside you.
