DEVELOP A SENSE OF URGENCY--author unknown
"Do not wait: the time will never be just right.Start where you stand,
and work with whatever tools you may have at your command..."
- Napolean Hill
Highly productive people are "action oriented". They take time to think, plan and set priorities. Then they launch quickly into their plan. Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get so much accomplished in the same amount of time as someone less motivated? It's because they have a "sense of urgency." An inner drive and desire to get the job done quickly.
You can trigger this sense of urgency in yourself! When you work at high-value tasks at a continuous level of activity, you can actually enter an amazing mental state called "flow". You feel elated and clear about your goals. Everything you do seems effortless and accurate. You actually function on a higher plane of clarity, creativity and competence. Have you ever been around people that seem to have this sense of flow? They are exciting to be around!
When you become action-oriented, you activate the "Momentum Principle" of success. Once you get going on something, you seem to gain momentum and then it takes far less energy to keep going! You have seen people in our unit do this: remember when you saw someone go into DIQ qualifications? Didn't it seem like all of a sudden she had recruits everywhere she went? That is the principle of momentum in action!
One of the simplest ways to create this momentum is with self talk: constantly reminding yourself "Do it now!" or "Back to work!" is a great way to get going and keep going.
Resolve today to develop a sense of urgency in everything you do. Select one area that you tend to procrastinate in and make a decision to develop the habit of fast action in that area!
"Emotions make good servants, but poor leaders." - John C. Maxwell
I truly believe that it is neither the lack of basic skills (booking, coaching, selling & recruiting), nor the lack of resources that holds women back, but unwise Emotional Management.
Let's not be so fragile that a few no's or disappointments easily defeats us. The blessing in this business is NOT in the Yes or the No.
It is in the Diligent Daily DOing.
No Cowardly Lions here!
