If I were & this I am
This idea struck to my mind when talking ABOUT Brian Tracy book‘s law of customer. During discussion I thought about if I was customer what would I do? What would I like how would I purchase what should be my priorities in buying different commodities , what products I purchase must that were compulsory for me what I keep pending , from where I buy and why?
What could be my wishes for purchase process, how would I decide?
This thing leads me to understand approach of customer as well as decisions of the suppliers for product, location process for supply chain, customer services practices etc.
I believe instead of setting goals for our self as they do not motivate us as much as this belief that if I were as a ……. I would do this way
I have thought about setting goals many times but whatever you call it I could not plan to achieve those goals. May b it was my fault or the way of life that could not provide me such motivation in spite of the fact that goals were very high aimed, positive even I could not find a way to achieve those.
But now I think if in any situation, I start everything by putting myself in other character which I believe to be with a question
For example
If I was a customer what I should do
If I am a teacher what would I do
If I were an employee what I think about work & employer
If I was an employer what I think about work and employee
If I were a supplier how customer will think of me what he will expect
If I am a trainer what trainee would expect of me, as a trainee what I expect from trainer?
In short we always should think of the perspective of other person
We should always think of the ideal character we have in mind
More if I am … approach gives you line of action it forces you to act instead of thinking you do and start moving to your goal.
