One Thing To Bring With You and One Thing To Leave Behind If You Want To Be Successful

Posted November 20, 2018

As you ponder your sales goals for 2019 there are 2 things that people typically miss.

The first thing is something you absolutely need to bring with you;

Someone who can guide you and;

knows the proverbial “road ahead”.

Aka, a coach!

Having someone who can guide, instruct, offer feedback, and most of all;

Hold you accountable . . . Will get you there faster!

Imagine this . . . 

You need to travel from New York to California by car.

You can jump in the car, head west and “wing it” or;

You can turn on the GPS and save a lot of time and nonsense!

And if by chance, you disagree, then I would invite you to at least do everything you can to become MORE coachable.

Whether its with your boss, you clients, your prospects;

This is how you bring your results to the next level.

To help you with this, you’ll find a nice Black Friday Discount on my coaching program.

You’ll find it by clicking HERE.

That brings us to the one thing you should leave behind if you want to be successful;

Your excuses why you WON’T do something.

Notice I didn’t say “Can’t”, I said WON’T!

The funny thing about “WON’T” is that we often hide it with the word “CAN’T”.

“Can’t” let’s us off the hook and often transfers accountability somewhere else.

“I can’t do it because my boss doesn’t reimburse for things like coaching and webinars”

Unless you’re totally broke, you just let yourself off the hook and blamed your boss.

And nice job hiding the fact that you WON’T invest in yourself.

“I can’t do it because I’m so busy with year end”

And in January you’ll be so busy with the new year.

In February it will be Groundhog’s Day and March from your St Patrick’s hangover.

And nice job hiding your “WON’T” you clever bastard!

There’s a quote that I keep on my desk at Castain Training Systems and quite frankly, it sets me straight every time!

When I find myself making excuses (and I’d be lying to you if I told you that I NEVER do), I look at this quote from Jim Rohn;

If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an EXCUSE!

Perhaps its time for you to evict your excuses, roll up your sleeves, and build the life you’ve been meaning to build!
