I walked up to the front desk of the hotel and requested a flip chart for my room. The young woman at the front desk looked at me like I was crazy and said…“We don’t do that here.”
I explained to her that I knew they did because they had provided me with one before. Is serving customers about being right or doing right?
This week, I’ve got clients visiting me here in Nova Scotia and I’m prepping for next week’s Roadmap Workshop in Ottawa, which means, I’m a wee bit short on time when it comes to creating a brand new blog post.
That means I’ve got to make a decision: I can buy into the “I’m too busy to do this” mentality or I can do something else.
If you’ve worked with a business coach, or followed them on social media, you may have heard one or more of these myths – while sometimes these CAN be true, they certainly are not a one-size-fits-all solution.
While driving back to Nova Scotia from Florida, we were delayed by construction. The delay had us driving our little red car very slowly beside a tractor trailer. My husband turned and asked me, “Is that the truck making that noise?” and then I heard it.
While we were hoping the noise we were hearing was coming from the truck next to us, it was not. It was our car.
I recently spoke at Alan Weiss’ Million Dollar Consulting Convention and Sales Expert, Colleen Francis was also one of the speakers. Colleen shared some vital and eye-opening stats on the percentage of buyers who make purchasing decisions before they ever have a conversation with you.
Years ago, I hired a web company to help me make some significant changes to my website. I soon realized that the only thing they could do on time was invoice me.
They failed to do what they said they would, they overbilled me for services they didn’t complete, they were late at delivering milestones repeatedly, and when I requested a meeting to discuss my concerns with them, they asked me to document them instead.
Needless to say, I fired them.
Start paying attention to the goals you set for yourself. Instead of setting a goal to increase your sales by 10%, what about if you set a goal to 10x your business?
Here’s the problem with trying to hit a modest 10% gain in your business. You’ll likely attain only a 5-8% gain if you’re lucky, or maybe your sales will even stay flat.
They say it takes 30 to 45 days to form a habit; 30 days of disciplined action dedicated towards an activity or in changing a behavior so you can achieve the new result you want.
In most cases, it’s not that you have a time management problem or a prioritization problem; it’s that you have a self-discipline problem. You might not be disciplined enough to stick to the thing that you need to do every single day to get the result you want.
