Very recently, I did an exercise with my agents. Basically it was this: if there is 1/3 of the year left, what are you going to do to maximize the potential you have?
So here is my challenge to all of you out there that are finding it difficult to create momentum, and challenge yourself to exceed your own expectation level.
Are you doing the following:
1. Developing superior time management skills focusing on profitable activity not busy work?
2. Actively participating in coaching with your manager, where you are staying accountable to what you have laid out in your business plan?
3. Prioritizing your schedule, either through “GTD” (getting things done) or a Franklin Covey type system?
4. Visualizing the success you want to have and the end result. It’s not enough to just say that you want to do something - it’s finding the strength to see it and execute it.
5. Have you categorized your database into people most likely to refer you business? There is a reason Brian Buffinni is a gazzilionare! His methods work!
6. SHOW UP!!! You are business owner. If the person who owns the cleaners you used never went to work would you use him?
7. Taking advantage of learning opportunities? You can always learn and the best of us are those who USE what we learn!
8. Using the resources your company offers? There is a reason you chose the company you did. You are in business with them so, as their partner, they give you materials to increase your business. Use them.
9. Actively ask for referrals! If you are “touching” 5 people a day, are you asking them for a referral? Those that are hugely successful right now are those who have created a sphere that is dedicated to making sure they bring you business. The problem is we sometimes forget to ask.
10. Last but not least - HAVE NO FEAR!!! If you are afraid, you might as well quit and now and sell at Nordstrom. Fear is not an excuse. You control your destiny and success, so if you are holding yourself back with excuses STOP IT. get out there and make it happen!
Anyway, as always, if you need any guidance, I’m always available. HAPPY 1/3 of the year!
