I know we talked about this yesterday but I feel more needs to be said on this.
I believe that complacency is something that many deal with at some point or another. I really don’t believe that people enjoy being at a standstill in life. However, complacency can creep up on anyone.
Complacency is something that can take a toll on self-esteem and overall motivation. It can happen in our relationships, in business, and our overall, every day lives.
I have certainly seen it in the sales and business world. Representatives come into a new opportunity filled with ambitions and dreams. They set goals and make great accomplishments. Unfortunately, once those goals are achieved, they become comfortable and they start to lose their drive and hunger. This is when they fall into the trap of becoming complacent.
Don’t get me wrong here. I truly believe that it is important to enjoy the fruits of your success. However, it is important that no matter what level that we achieve in life, we must make continued decisions to keep growing and to keep improving. I have learned that progress equals happiness.
Perhaps you have fallen into the trap of becoming complacent. The good news is that today you can change that and get yourself back on track.
The first step is to get your attitude back to being super positive. It’s time to change your mindset. Go back and repeat the things that made you successful.
Remind yourself that you have the awesome ability to overcome this complacency.
Give yourself a pep talk and get yourself pumped back up again. This is also a time to check your inner circle. Remember this, you become who you hang with. Being around people with a growth mindset will help you to get out of this complacency.
The truth is that people become complacent because they stop setting new goals. I see this all the time. They reach their goals and then just stay there. Remember, either you are growing or you are shrinking. It’s time to choose a growth mindset. This is why it’s important to create new positive habits.
For example, start waking up earlier. Get back to working out. Begin reading positive books and listening to encouraging podcasts. Make a success plan and start becoming organized. Get rid of all the things that are distracting you and start doing the things that will keep you motivated. Most importantly, live every day with gratitude.
Now is the time to set some new goals for your life.
Create some short term and long term goals. Get yourself a new daily journal and start writing out what your goals are for each day, each week and each month. In order to achieve the long-term goals, you must have daily goals.
Stay focused on your plan. Make sure you check frequently to see where you are with your progress. Decide what you want out of life, create a plan and work your tail off to get to the next level in life.
Yes, it is important to be proud of your accomplishments, but you do not want to be the type of person that lives in the past.
Today is a new day and your future looks incredible. You were designed to do even greater things. If you have found yourself becoming complacent, it’s time to get excited about life and your future and your new goals.
Always remember that you were design for growth and greatness. Get your spark back and go out and make it happen!
Happy Selling,
