I had a call with a coaching client today that is struggling with family issues and her business is faltering because of it. Here is an excerpt from a response I sent her.
As my own boys go through these "learning experiences" I, so much, want to protect them. Then I remember and realize that what they are learning and how they are growing will provide much more protection than my "protection" would provide. In fact my "protection" would make them more vulnerable. So, I am really pleased and impressed with your decisions and your development.
As for your business struggles; I define integrity as keeping your word, particularly to yourself. Raise your integrity. I am sure you take pride in following through when you tell someone you will do something. Clearly that is keeping your word. What about when there is an implied follow through, like when you have spoken to someone at an open house or about selling their house and it is clearly implied that you will follow up. That is your word also.
As your level of integrity in one part of your life rises so goes your life and your business.
Make those calls. Act immediately on messages. Make your Exceptional level of appointments each week and enjoy the hell out of your life.
