Peter Plaut on How Mindfulness Leads To Business Success

When you think about achieving success in business, you probably think about things like productivity, investors, leadership, and company culture. But did you know that practising mindfulness might be the best way to increase your chance of success in business? 

Here are some reasons why practising mindfulness can help you achieve your goals and be successful in business. 

  • Practising mindfulness can improve your focus.

We are living in an age of constant distractions. With a world of knowledge at our fingertips and a million different things begging for our attention at any given moment, focusing on one task at a time can feel impossible. Fortunately, practising mindfulness can improve your focus and help you to tune out distractions. As you become more mindful, you can be more intentional about where you focus your attention. As a result, you will be able to do better work and get more done in less time.

  • Practising mindfulness can make you a more effective communicator.

Just as practising mindfulness improves your focus, it also can make you a better communicator. When you’re less distracted, you are more able to focus on what other people are saying to you — both verbally and non-verbally. No matter what position you currently hold in your organization, becoming fully engaged in conversations will help you to be more successful. Listening to others will help you to better respond to their needs and will gain you a reputation as a trusted and caring team member or leader.

 

  • Practising mindfulness increases emotional intelligence.

 

Lastly, practising mindfulness can also increase emotional intelligence, which can lead to increased business success. When you are more able to control your emotions, you make better decisions. Increased emotional intelligence also means that you’ll be able to recognize and effectively respond to the feelings of those around you.

 

  • Practising mindfulness can help you set the right priorities.

 

As your concentration improves and you get better at managing your emotions, you will also be able to prioritize your schedule effectively. You will learn to recognize which tasks on your to-do list are the most important and which ones can be left undone. When you focus on the right things, your chances of achieving your goals increases exponentially.
