KEY TAKEAWAYS
Emotional intelligence is a fluid intelligence that is about getting along with others and communication.

Improving emotional intelligence
You need to begin with self-awareness understanding the way you feel and do what you do.
You have to understand your personality style to be able to develop your emotional intelligence.
Desire– you have to understand what you want and have the burning desire to get that.
Decision– when you make a decision you have to burn your mental bridges – refusing to go back to the way it was before.
Determination– you have to have the determination to start and to keep going with things following through to the end.
Discipline – you have to be willing to do what is hard. Most people who get what they want get very angry and use it in the right direction to propel them forward.
If you want to make a change you have to move out of your comfort zone and change one habit at a time.

Key pillars of emotional intelligence
Self-awareness– why you think and feel the way you do understanding your strengths and weaknesses
Self-regulation– being able to manage mental and emotional blockages. You have to learn to manage your emotions and thoughts so that you can continue to achieve.
Motivation – people run out of motivation and the energy to reach their goals. You have to be motivated to keep going when people say no often repeatedly
Empathy – the ability to read other’s emotional makeup. If you can’t do this it will result in conflict and you can’t have clients.
Social regulation– this is the communication if you can’t get your message across people won’t buy from you.
