The Gallup organization performed a survey and found that the most important measure of success in life, according to prominent living Americans, is the degree of respect a person earns and receives from others. Successful people work hard to gain the respect of their peers, friends, families, customers, and coworkers. The respect they gain is highly correlated to the success they will experience in their life.
There are three general ways to gain the respect of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before we can expect others to give us their respect,\nwe must first put significant effort into becoming a person worthy of respect.\nThis means developing our character and being committed to living a\nvalue-driven life. Respected people live by the values of honesty, integrity,\nand authenticity. By becoming truly respect-worthy, doors of influence will\nopen in your life. When you become respect-worthy, success will follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Respected people are recognized as well-informed and\nstrive to gain as much knowledge as possible about their field. Respect comes\nfrom knowing more about your subject than the average person. The highest-paid\npeople, or experts, in any given field are those who have the most knowledge.\nThose with superior knowledge gain greater respect from others and are\ntherefore able to have superior influence. When you acquire knowledge, success\nwill follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Develop your expertise and you will gain the respect\nof others. While expertise is closely tied to knowledge, it focuses on your\nability to \u201cdo\u201d. This means you must focus on your ability to perform well in\nyour field. Those with expertise continually practice whatever they do until\nthey become known as an expert in their field. \n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, the best salespeople are those who have\nthe greatest knowledge of their product or service and can create curiosity,\nshow value and establish an urgency to purchase. They also are very erudite\nabout their competition and can display a competitive advantage. Respected\nsalespeople understand their own goals while being clued-in to the wants and\nneeds of their customers in order to appeal to them effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This ability execute one\u2019s expertise applies to all\nfields and areas of life. If you are church pastor you must to be able pastor\nextremely well; if you are a teacher you must be able to teach very well; if\nyou are a parent you must be able to parent very well; if you are a student you\nmust be able to learn very well; if you are an athlete you must be able to\nperform very well. When you prove your expertise, success will follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
