Well, we are now half way through our list of 12 Steps to Living Well. Today I would like to talk a little bit about step #6 MAKE DIFFERENT CHOICES, but before I do that, let me give you all 12 ideas one more time.
1. Define your purpose.
2. Be honest with yourself.
3. Define your short term goals.
4. Stay positive and believe in yourself.
5. Learn new information.
6.
MAKE DIFFERENT CHOICES. 7. Take action.
8. Reprogram your negative self talk.
9. Make new associations.
10. Refine - continually try to improve.
11. Help others.
12. Don't be afraid.
Since we are now half way down our list, think about an area of your life you want to improve. Would the first 6 steps help you? Have you decided to give them a try? I sure hope so, because I've seen them work many times.
Step #6, MAKE DIFFERENT CHOICES, is where the changes begin to happen. I'm sure all of you have heard this definition of insanity, to always do the same things and expect different results. Well, I don't believe that is a definition of insanity. I do however, believe it is a viable definition for the status quo, for complacency, for mediocrity and for laziness.
After you have defined your goals, learned some new information, it is time to make some different choices. Remember, EVERYTHING IS A CHOICE! AND I MEAN EVERYTHING! What time do you choose to get in the office. What do you choose to do once you get there? How much time do you choose to spend talking with your co-workers? How much time do you choose to generate new business? Do you choose how to learn to make your business better? Are you choosing to emulate the top producers you know?
THE CHOICES YOU HAVE MADE TO THIS POINT IN YOUR BUSINESS, HAVE GOTTEN YOU WHERE YOU ARE NOW, ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT? If not, make different choices. Try something new, try something different, try something unique. Following the herd is a SURE WAY TO MEDIOCRITY! Think for yourself when it comes to YOUR BUSINESS! Get all the new information you can and MAKE DIFFERENT CHOICES! Your business can change dramatically if you CHOOSE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!
TO ALL MY NEW FRIENDS HERE AT AR, HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY WEEKEND! ALL THE BEST UNTIL NEXT TIME!
