Prabhjot Bedi
I am an Hospitality Ideator.
The word doesn't exist, but it comes closest to describing what I do.
I spent a life time with the Taj Group of Hotels (8 yrs!) and then decided to try out other
arenas.
Did a series of Training programs for AMEX across the country, launched a National
Council Accredited Hospitality Institute as Principal, got involved with hotel projects
and then moved onto recruitment & training.
Little did I know then that some souls would invite me to become their coach and
mentor.
I am now a career/success coach and assist individuals to fulfill their highest destiny.
Somewhere along the way, I partnered the creation of our very own Éclat Institute of
Hospitality Management & have now launched a finishing school by the name
of GracefulMe!
Happy Successing!

Introduction
7 Days.
What is remarkable?
This Book will tell you what to do, for the next 7 Days, in a step-by-step approach to
become 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 in
the book) or an e-version. Either or, have one.
2. Jot your thoughts as you read each remarkable-creating activity but do not begin the
activity 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 98720
00604 any time if you want to discuss more about any of the steps mentioned.
Happy Successing!
Day 1
A personal mission statement is powerful. It not only helps you decide what to do, it
ensures you do not do things that do not fit in with who you are or wanting to be. A
personal mission statement motivates, challenges and helps you look at the bigger
picture.
Write down the exact words you want these people to say about you.

From the statements above you will find some values that you must live your life with if
you are to ensure that people talk like that about you.

The mission statement could simply be divided into three parts: What you want to do +
For Who + How
"My mission is to be a loving son who ensures his parents are happy and contended by
listening to them, spending quality time with them and looking after their material
needs"
"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 this
mission"
"My mission is to earn loads of money. I will work hard, use my creativity and
imagination to create multiple streams of income"
(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)

Day 2
Today, you will do 3 things.
You will start everyday from today by reading your mission statement.
It is like the captain of the ship who sets the course of the ship before starting any
journey.

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 lot
more, 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!
Day 3
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
Now, define why you are all those things. What value do you add? to your work, your
home, your friends, your community, to this planet?
Are you someone who can help with ideas? with execution? with money? with
resources? with contacts?
What can you do? What creates that excitement in you?
Once you find something you are naturally good at & then become the absolute best in
it.
Be synonymous with something.

3. Delight Everyone
want an example?
'He was an extra-ordinary cab driver. he always had a ready smile, always had water
and always, always had change. he never made a face of you asked gave him large
denomination notes. He smiled and always gave the exact change in crisp notes and
clean coins'
2. Do the unexpected
3. Heap praises
how to praise:
Step 1- Catch someone doing something right
Step 2- Praise the act

Day 4
2. Force Yourself
There must be something you dont want to do, cant do, or are simple scared to do.
Today do it.
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
IMP | After you do what you dont want to do, REWARD yourself. Anything. But
REWARD yourself.
3. Be Curious
Ask anyone.
Look anywhere.
Be Curious
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
1. How many people can you call in the middle of the night for assistance/help knowing
that 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?
1. Quality Relationships
2. Significant People
3. 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, a
coach, 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 advice
from? Significant people maybe all this and more.
define significance for yourself, and then go around seeking people who fit that
definition.
3. Quality Relationships.
When we introduce someone we know, we generally introduce them by saying how long
we have known them.
The length of time that a relationship can last/endure seems to be a pretty good way to
define quality.
From Today, Build high - quality relationships with significant people in all contexts of
your life.
How?
How can you build such relationships?
Day 5
2. Find a Mentor!
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
3. Stir Up Things
Starting today you will NOT, and I repeat, You will NOT accept anything you don't want
to.
Make a list of things you need to talk to someone about coz you refuse to accept them
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
A confident, well-executed handshake can define you in more ways than you can
imagine.
Ensure that each handshake is firm, professional, dry and lasts for not more than 3
seconds.
A smiling eye contact will make it perfect!
A remarkable individual is someone who can look at a lot of options, discuss them,
opine on them and take an informed decision.
Learn to be creative with solutions and examine all possibilities.
Think about the last time you were considering a solution to a difficult situation.
List down all possibilities...

Day 6
2. Be Excellent
Your success will come from your ability to be excellent in everything you think, say or
do.
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?
Today, Be Excellent!
When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common
you 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.
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, a
more 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 ones
mentioned above.
This is from 'The Top 10 Conditions for Creating a Compelling Outcome, by Robert
Knowlton'
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...

Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have--you. It
means 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 through
mediation, music, art, prayer, or service
As you renew yourself in each of the four areas, you create growth and change in your
life.
Write down one activity you will do every week towards the four areas of your life:
Physical: __________________________________________
Social/Emotional: __________________________________________
Mental: __________________________________________
Spiritual:

Be an Angel.
