For many of you, today was a wasted day.
You might have tried to reach a few people and gave up.
Or maybe, you just didn’t try and decided to just do admin activities.
For those of you who struggled this week . . .
What will you do differently next year?
Memorial Day wasn’t just invented and unless I didn’t get the memo, it’s coming back again next year.
This holds true for summer, Christmastime and any other peak holiday/vacation season.
A few years ago, I made an absolute ROOKIE MISTAKE going into summer.
The next thing you know, I was living off my bank account because business dried up.
It was my first year owning Castain Training Systems, and I allowed myself to get caught up in activities that didn’t overfill my summer funnel.
I was scared, angry and as a bonus, I got to watch my bank accounts do a disappearing act but;
I chose to take the LESSON so history WOULDN’T repeat again the following year.
What will you do differently next year?
One little trick that I do, leading up to a holiday weekend, is book that Thursday and Friday with as many appointments as possible.
Then I try to fill any gaps in my schedule with “getting to know you” type calls with my LinkedIn network.
I fill the remaining slots with calls to wish clients and prospects a great holiday and have a quick “phone visit” with them.
And, because the weather is typically AWESOME in New York right about now, I do all this, from my patio.
I try to follow the same schedule the day after a holiday.
The result, is that I don’t have to waste these days as “admin days” and;
It makes me feel great knowing that I didn’t buy into some limiting “holiday myth”
But enough about me . . .
This is an opportunity for YOU to learn . . .
While everything is still clear.
And this is extremely timely folks, not just so you can learn your “Memorial Day Lesson”;
But so you can take those lessons, and be better equipped for Fourth of July week and the summertime in general.
