Success: It’s all about the Outbound Mode

How many emails do you get per day?  Hundreds?  Ask yourself how long you spend each day checking and responding to these messages.  For some it can take hours to get through email messages. 

 

The successful know how to manage this phenomenon.  They focus on outbound mode activities first - those that allow them to get their work out the door.  Secondly, they attend to inbound mode activities - those tasks that others have for them.  What does this mean?  It means getting your work done first before doing everyone else's.

 

How do you switch modes when you're faced with 1-2 hours of email reading per day?  Read below to find out.

 

•1.      Send 10 emails every morning before responding to those sent to you.  This allows you to get your work done before thinking about what everyone else wants from you.

 

•2.      Analyze the calls and emails you do get.  Are they requests for your time, advice, or money?  If so, be careful how you respond.  Too many of these requests will drain your energy and ability to stay in outbound mode.

 

•3.      Turn the tables.  Once you've analyzed those messages, you'll notice they are likely inbound activities.  Take the opportunity to turn the tables and become the one in charge.  Start selling.  Make calls.  Send emails.  Do what you need to do to get your outbound work completed.

 

•4.      Become an aggressor.  Yes, I really mean "aggressor," but I mean it in the good sense of the word, which means taking control of your own life.  It also means living proactively.  Waiting for inbound messages to reach you is wasted time you could have devoted to your outbound activities.  The successful don't wait for people to need them.  They are constantly out there doing.  They are constantly moving.  You should be too.

 

•5.      Avoid debt.  Although this can mean financial debt, it also includes debt from the messages that surround you.  Demands on your pocketbook and messages that tell you need more are distracting.  The television and Internet are prime areas for becoming indebted to marketing messages.  Be wary of listening too carefully.  You have your own plans and goals to achieve. 

 

Outbound mode empowers us to take care of our responsibilities.  It also reminds us to avoid the drain of incoming messages, whether they are emails, ads, phone calls, or meetings.  Taking a proactive approach to the way you live your life is yet another step toward becoming and staying successful.  "Today is Your Opportunity to Rise Up and Live the Life You Choose!"  Lance Hood
