Hello everyone, welcome to Inspired To Greatness… Today we are talking about, JEDI MIND TRICKS… sort of, we are talking about first impressions and setting expectations.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. - Will Rogers

A good first impression can work wonders
- J. K. Rowling

“If people are failing, they look inept. If people are succeeding, they look strong and good and competent. That’s the ‘halo effect.’ Your first impression of a thing sets up your subsequent beliefs. If the company looks inept to you, you may assume everything else they do is inept.” ~ Daniel Kahneman

SETTING EXPECTATIONS:
“Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.”
― Stephen R. Covey,

“Set the standard! Stop expecting others to show you love, acceptance, commitment, & respect when you don’t even show that to yourself.” ― Steve Maraboli

Everything hinges on how you relate to your brain. By setting higher expectations, you enter a phase of higher functioning. One of the unique things about the human brain is that it can do only what it thinks it can do. -  Deepak Chopra

Some people claim that expectations are the reason for unhappiness. However, I can assure you from personal experience that you'll suffer greatly by setting subpar targets. : Grant Cardone

High expectations and belief in people leads to high performance so very often belief creates fact. Paul Hersey

Our first impressions are generated by our experiences and our environment, which means that we can change our first impressions... by changing the experiences that comprise those impressions. Malcolm Gladwell
