Recruite yourself back into the business This is a consistent principal I used over 24 years in sales. We all will go trough tough times. We all go trough emotional peaks and valleys in sales, even the best of us. The difference is that the best in the business have discover a way to handle adversity.
Adversity is not optional, it comes with the package. It's the gift wrap for a great opportunity. If something is too easy, if everyone can do it then it will not be rewarded or remunerated in an superb way.
This is one law of opportunity: In order for us to have an opportunity, it should be difficult, special, exceptional and requiring for participants to give their best.
Mediocrity would not suffice. Learn to forgive yourself quickly for slipping up. Begin again the soonest. Quick recoveries are key to longevity in sales.
Take stock. Stop the bus and see if you are going in the right direction. Self motivation is key. Become a be a ''self starter''.
Push yourself if need be. Get the ball rolling.
Count your blessings. See how far you made it by the grace of God.
Use a spreadsheet. Make a plan. Work out a potential income plan. Do your internet banking everyday yourself for motivation and focus. Honesty and clarity is very motivational if correctly applied. BS and confusion are never helpful. Take ownership of your opportunity. Own it. Make it part of your identity.
Then protect it. Guard your opportunity and integrity like sacred things. Nurture it. It may be all you have.
Use your God given talents and maximise it. Develop it. Increase it.
Speak life into into your life. Call the things that be not as thought they were.
''Pray like you are not gonna work. Then go and work like like you did not pray.''
''Know that this too shall pass'' and in the grand scheme of things what you become as a person is more important than what material things you acquire.
This means that you are here for a purpose and that you should work on yourself to become a better person. Use your opportunities and talents to benefit others too and on your way there you will make good for yourself too.
