He woke up and worked out. Started off great. Went home, showered, got dressed, walked downstairs and had his breakfast. Kids and wife were sleeping upstairs, things were starting off great. Affirmations were said, positivity was flowing. Ready to get after it and ready to tackle the day. Appointments on the calendar, day planned from yesterday, make it happen!
Then he checked his e-mail.
For some time he had been struggling in his business. Doing enough to get by. As of January 1st he decided he needed to hire a coach. He needed to do something different. The hard part is, he still didn’t have the funds to pay for it, but he decided to scrape it together.
He made it happen.
Up until now he didn’t do the activity. He wasn’t asking for referrals, making the calls, creating emotion in people. He wasn’t getting better. He just did. He thought he could do it all himself. He then realized, like so many people do on January 1st, something had to change. Need less to say, that day in January was a tough day.
Don’t wait.
Things got worse. First meeting of the day was a phone meeting. He was prepped and planned. He was ready. The thing was, he hadn’t gotten back to this person right away and it had taken a few weeks. He didn’t have the follow up, processes and systems in place. That potential client let him have it. Even throwing some choice words at him. After all was said and done, John held his composure.
See, John has his ups and downs. What was important in this moment was his Positive Self-Talk and Confidence. Some of us need to work on our language, phoning skills, keeping track of numbers. For John, it was believing in himself.
Is this you? What is it for you?
This is the day it changed for John. He started to believe in himself.
He knew he was doing the calls. Paying his assistant would happen. He started asking for referrals. Paying his coach would happen. He knew he was reading and adding to his vocation. Paying his mortgage would happen. He knew he was 25 meetings ahead. Abundance was happening, because he was doing what he was supposed to. Putting his emotion into activity and not results.
You see, John is now doing the things that will make him successful. He took that one rough day and set 3 more meetings, had 3 more meetings. He also changed his mentality. He got back to what will make him successful. He used the accountabily from his coach to change his business, his life. He became less stressed, made more money and took back control of that life.
John turned his rough day into a positive. Will power, doing the right things living in that abundance mentality.
Knowing it’s never as bad as it seems. Also knowing it’s never as good as it seems.
