Year end
2018? Yes! – However, New Year beginning 2019!
Yeah! Another new year!
I have made and spent time making
my goals for 2019. I am planning some
really neat GOALS!
Remember, goals will require
some, maybe a lot of mundane work and daily must do projects – most are easy to
do and as Jim Rohn says “Most are easy not to do”.
I keep
pulling this book out for review and reminders of continuously moving forward,
I like this
quote from the book — “The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep
this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire
makes a small amount of heat.” From the bestseller book Think and Grow
Rich by Napolean Hill.
This book
gets you on a journey for getting and staying on track for life's desires.
Start planning for 2019! Make 2019 your best year yet!
I read areally good book KEEP MOVINGwritten by Dick Van Dyke. He wrote this book at age 89 and is still moving very well, from what I see and hear.
The book provides
tips and truths about aging. In the book he reveals a lot of truth about aging
and the need to keep moving in physical and mental activity as we go through
life.
I keep the
book on my desk for review from time to time. I like the writeup on the book cover
jacket – “Dick's optimistic outlook is an invigorating tonic for anyone
who needs a reminder that life should be lived with enthusiasm, despite what
the Calendar says.”
I believe an obvious conclusion is to get motivated and keep physical activity as a very important part of our life. He does. He exercises daily and reports that he dances often.
One item
stuck with me when he discussed the importance of writing daily. Keep a
notebook and lay out the next day's activities. Then once written down he can
forget it, disengage and begin to dream. What a great philosophy!
Seems like the same for all of us at any age especially those of us in sales and selling. Get the next day, week, month and year written down with activity for success. Then go about dreaming and figuring out how to make this life we have even better.
Get yourself
ready for 2019. Plan it. Make yourself accountable for the entire year.
Read KEEP MOVING ! I've linked ithere to easily find.
As you plan your year end and begin planning for next year, don't forget to plan for continuous learning.
What is continuous learning here are 7 tips (Not totally
inclusive by any means, but a good thought starter):
Reading — Read for business growth and pleasure.
Learn a musical instrument — If you have the desire, get
going even if a small start.
Journal daily — Leave a legacy of your thoughts and ideas
for your family.
Your current Job — Learn one thing every month for making
it better, faster or easier.
SCR — Take time to Slow down, calm and relax.
Accountability — Make your self a daily accountability
program to keep continuous learning moving forward.
Remember as Jim Rohn pointed out, eating an apple a day is
easy to do, easy to measure and easy to accomplish, but it's also easy not to
do. Get your continuous learning going and try to make it as easy as
possible to do daily.

For
years, I have been writing about the power of measurement for a sales person.
Daily behaviors completed daily will produce results — For “SALES”
and can be used for other measured items.
Good
sales training is needed, to learn the skills of selling. However, a good
mechanical “Nuts and Bolts” tracking system is needed to get-on and
stay-on track.
My
monthly sales tracker that provides for sales goals for the month and a tracker
is available. I will send a copy to any sales person wanting to see and try it
out. First Month January 2019 will be available and sent early December.
The
excel spreadsheet will be provided free and will be available each month after
for the year 2019. My request is that you look at it and decide if it is
something that fits your sales life style. If not just send me an email.
