If you've gotten bogged down in the day-to-day grind, and maybe your energy is a little bit deflated, how do you get back on track? How to get re-focused again?
Well, ask yourself, do you have a deep passion for serving your clients? If you do, take a little break from the daily grind, find a quiet place with a paper and a pen, and brainstorm! This will give you the perspective of working ON your business instead of IN your business. (Refer to "The e-Myth Revisited" book by Michael Gerber.)
Write down the goals you will have accomplished in 10 years, how our industry will be better because of your contributions, and your exit strategy after you achieve your accomplishments.
Then, plan backwards! Start with the goals you brainstormed, and ask how you can put plans in place TODAY to reach those goals in 10 years. This will give you the desire, energy, and focus that you need to get up excited to work every morning.
Then, take your top 3 mini-goals and tape them to your computer so you can look at it every day!!! You're on your way.
HINT: I read the book, "Prayer of Jabez" and learned why it's so important to expand my borders and reach more people. Learn that YOU can have a positive influence in others' lives and YOUR actions can make a difference in our industry.
