If you guys haven’t figured it out, I have a passion for new people in this business. I still am a new person really. But I finally broke the barrier that many are blinded by today and I want to encourage newer people to do the same and not make quitting a quit. The #1 way to make it is through year one is by developing good habits and killing old habits.
Here are some having building tips:
1. Have a partner. Habits are easier when two or more are focused on developing them together. If you don’t have a partner, I’ll bet there is someone in your shoes in this group who thinks about quitting daily and would love to go through the process of this business together.
2. Practice a “clean slate policy.” When you get behind, miss a day, or discover what doesn’t work for you, wipe the slate clean, forgive yourself and start again.
3. Pursue progress, not perfection. As we discussed yesterday we need to keep making progress. Consistency matters way more than doing it perfectly.
4. Shrink the challenge. If you stop practicing the habit, chances are you’ve set a goal that’s bigger than the time and energy you have available. Try shrinking the task until you’re 90% sure you can do it.
5. Keep going, even when you don’t see progress. Small habits, maintained over a long period, can lead to lasting change.
6. Take as long as you need. Don’t just complete the plan. Aim to build lifelong habits.
7. Have fun. Experiment. Be curious. Take habits seriously, but approach them playfully. Aim to learn about what works for you and what doesn’t. Enjoy the process.
Never forget to act with integrity and think long term. We have one of the best opportunities in America. But it ain’t easy. Have a great day everyone.
Happy Selling,
David
