Introduction

All I am asking is 7 days.That is it.

7 Days.

What is remarkable?

Remarkable is anything that entices a remark.There that was simple.Remarkable is that which cannot be ignored, that which cannot be termed mediocre,that which engages.

Why should you want to be remarkable?

Coz, anything less is unremarkable.Everything else does not stick.You and what you do is so common, its passe, its forgotten.

This Book will tell you what to do, for the next 7 Days, in a step-by-step approach tobecome remarkable.

Before we begin with individual tasks and daily asks of you, here are some guidelines.

I call them guidelines but to have the maximum impact, you must treat them like rules.

1. Keep a diary. This could be in the age-old hand written tradition (space provided inthe book) or an e-version. Either or, have one.2. Jot your thoughts as you read each remarkable-creating activity but do not begin theactivity until you have been asked to do so.3. There is no right way to do this, until you try.4 You can write to me Prabhjot Bedi | [email protected] or call me +91 9872000604 any time if you want to discuss more about any of the steps mentioned.

Happy Successing!

Day 1

Create a Mission Statement

A personal mission statement is a written affirmation of what you want to be or aspire tobe.It is a personal guiding light for you to ensure you are always on your right path.

A personal mission statement is powerful. It not only helps you decide what to do, itensures you do not do things that do not fit in with who you are or wanting to be. Apersonal mission statement motivates, challenges and helps you look at the biggerpicture.

Step 1 | Your funeral

You are dead.Congratulations! No seriously, congratulations on having lived your life to the fullest.You did everything you ever wanted to do, achieved every goal, fulfilled every promise,and now you are dead.Imagine the following people sitting together and talking about you, a year after yourdeath. Imagine they are all honest!- Your Family- Your Friends- Your Colleagues- Your Community

What do you wish them to say about you?That is the question you will answer.

Write down the exact words you want these people to say about you.

Step 4 | Creating the mission statement

The mission statement could simply be divided into three parts: What you want to do +For Who + How

Personal Mission Statement Example:"My mission is to champion others to grow personally, professionally, emotionally andspiritually by using my compassion, my unique perspective, and my belief in others'inherent goodness, integrity, and enormous potential."

"My mission is to be a loving son who ensures his parents are happy and contended bylistening to them, spending quality time with them and looking after their materialneeds"

"My mission is to help anybody who is homeless by giving them love, compassion and a

place to sleep. I will use my social network to create awareness and enroll others in thismission"

"My mission is to earn loads of money. I will work hard, use my creativity andimagination to create multiple streams of income"




7/25

Write down your personal mission statement

(Useful Tip | You can create a mission statement for each role in your life.e.g. mission statement as a parent, as a child, as a sibling, as a boss, as part of a

community etc)

2. Tell The Universe What You Desire

Tell the universe what you truly desire.No specific words, no rituals, no background music, no breathing exercises, just tell.

It may feel a little weird, talking to no one in particular.If you do need to a specific guideline, then do the this | sit in a comfortable position.close your eyes. look up. Say everything you want or desire. Just say it.

It may also help to write it down....__________________________________________________________

3. Appear Appealing!

Someone said, 'Check your appearance, everyone else does' This is a fact of life.Success comes from hard work, labour, intelligence, leading a principled life and a lotmore, but it all starts from your appearance.If you don't look like the part you want to play, it is most likely you will not get the part!

So look sharp. Wear neat, clean, appropriate attire.Carry yourself purposefully.

Have an air of quiet self confidence & SMILE!

Start today. Appear Appealing!




10/25

Day 3


As mentioned yesterday, start everyday by reading your mission statement.Remember, it is like the captain of the ship who sets the course of the ship beforestarting any journey.

2. Define the value you add, then become the absolute best in it

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.Albert Einstein

You are unique. You are special.You are valuable.

Now, define why you are all those things. What value do you add? to your work, yourhome, your friends, your community, to this planet?

Are you someone who can help with ideas? with execution? with money? withresources? with contacts?What can you do? What creates that excitement in you?

the second step in this is as important as the first.

Once you find something you are naturally good at & then become the absolute best init.Be synonymous with something.

What are you good at?What value can you add?

4. Build high - quality relationships

I am thankful to a lot of people for making me who I am today.Over the years each of them has left an indelible mark on me & my psyche. I am certainit is the same for you.

However answer some of the following questions for yourself:

1. How many people can you call in the middle of the night for assistance/help knowingthat they will respond?2 Does that list grow every year or has it been static for quite a while now?3. How often do you eat lunch alone?4. When was the last time you called someone without any favor in mind?

This practice has three important parts:




15/25

1. Quality Relationships2. Significant People3. All Contexts

The following are the thoughts that spring to mind when I think about all three:

1. All contexts? what are the roles you play? I am a son, a brother, a colleague, a boss, acoach, a neighbor, a friend, and maybe some more.Do you have quality relationships in all those areas/roles?

2. what defines significant people? is it people who can help you in your chosen path?are these people who think like you? are these people who you can talk to, seek advicefrom? Significant people maybe all this and more.define significance for yourself, and then go around seeking people who fit thatdefinition.

3. Quality Relationships.When we introduce someone we know, we generally introduce them by saying how longwe have known them.The length of time that a relationship can last/endure seems to be a pretty good way todefine quality.

From Today, Build high - quality relationships with significant people in all contexts ofyour life.

How?

How can you build such relationships?

1. Be Open to such relationships2. Do good without the expectation of anything in return3. Be genuinely interested

3. Stir Up Things

Starting today you will NOT, and I repeat, You will NOT accept anything you don't wantto.

Ask, seek, argue do what it takes to get your answers.

Refuse the status-quo.

Make a list of things you need to talk to someone about coz you refuse to accept them

__________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________

4. Shake Hands like you mean it!

A confident, well-executed handshake can define you in more ways than you canimagine.

Ensure that each handshake is firm, professional, dry and lasts for not more than 3seconds.A smiling eye contact will make it perfect!

from today, Shake Hands like you mean it!

Day 6



2. Be Excellent

Your success will come from your ability to be excellent in everything you think, say ordo.Everything.

Starting today you will aspire and be excellent in everything.Everything.

here is a simple test to see if you were excellent in the last task you performed.Do you want to tell the world about it?Do you want to talk about it to everyone?Are you willing to be judged as a person on that one task?Are you willing to accept the same work if you were paying someone else?

You will be excellent from today in everything.everything!

Today, Be Excellent!

3. Say Less than Necessary

When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more commonyou appear, and the less in control.

Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike.Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less.The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.




20/25

4. Set Compelling Outcomes For Yourself

When you create a goal for yourself, you probably write something like this:- loose weight- finish project

- buy a car etc etc.

Not that these by themselves aren't goals. But imagine if you could paint a picture, amore vivid, alive picture of what that goal would mean to you, to the people around you.That picture, that intended outcome will be a far more compelling one than the onesmentioned above.

This is from 'The Top 10 Conditions for Creating a Compelling Outcome, by RobertKnowlton'1. What do you want?2. What will having that (your outcome) do for you?

3. How will you know when you have it?4. How will someone else (an outsider) know when you have it?5. Where, when, and with whom do you want it?6. What stops you from having it already?7. How will your desired outcome affect other areas of your life?8. What resources do you already have that will contribute to getting your outcome?9. What additional resources do you need in order to get your outcome?10. How are you going to get there?

Start NOW!

List one GOAL & answer all the 10 questions above...

5. Sharpen the Saw

From Steven Covey | Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have--you. Itmeans having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of your life:physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual. Here are some examples of activities:

Physical: Beneficial eating, exercising, and resting

Social/Emotional: Making social and meaningful connections with others

Mental: Learning, reading, writing, and teaching

Spiritual: Spending time in nature, expanding spiritual self throughmediation, music, art, prayer, or service

As you renew yourself in each of the four areas, you create growth and change in yourlife.

Write down one activity you will do every week towards the four areas of your life:

Physical: _________________________________________

Social/Emotional: _________________________________________

Mental: _________________________________________

Spiritual:_________________________________________

6. Be An Angel

You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.ZigZiglar
