Why I Hate Potential



  Why I Hate Potential  
     
 

PicturePotential by very definition is ability that is untapped and unused. How sad is that? We have God-given ability and talent that is wasted each and every day. I am all about seeing people become everything that God has intended for them to be. I want not an inch more and not a millimeter less for my clients.

We limit ourselves to what we think can be done. Ask anyone who has served our county in the Special Forces, or someone who just finished their first marathon, or the rookie salesperson who just landed the “whopper.” We are capable of far more than we think we are. Let’s use some of the following questions to unlock one or two possibilities that will force us to peel back a layer of potential that is yearning to get out and be exploited.

· If you had all the money you needed, where and how would you live?
· If you had the answers to your problems, how long would it take to solve them?
· Do you have a personal or professional vision?
· If so, what is it?
· What is probably not possible for you to achieve in this lifetime that you wish you could?
· On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, how would you rate the quality of your life today?
· Using the same scale, how high will that number likely rise during your lifetime?
· What is a dream or goal that you’ve given up on?
· What part of you have you given up on?
· What goal or part of your life have you put on the back burner because the time isn’t right? What part of you is just waiting for the right person or opportunity to catalyze it?

What is the most powerful tool in your arsenal?

What is the single thing that you can do to give you the best Return on Investment (ROI)? Is it your website? Your blog? How about the postcards you send out? Your newsletter? No, it is not any of these – it’s the PAN and we would bet dollars to donuts that it is one of the least used marketing strategies you are currently leveraging in your quest to build your business.

Chris Pollinger will talk about the power of the PAN and how you can use this extremely inexpensive tool to bring explosive results to your business.

Changing Your Profit Paradigm



  Changing Your Profit Paradigm  
     
 

PictureProfits are something to be proud of, not ignore, feel weird or sad about. Let profits be a measure of your contribution. Profits are the game, not just the scoreboard. It’s ok to enjoy making money.

Profits are more important today then ever before because…

  • We are faced with increasingly rapid change.
  • There is a freer flow of free information.
  • Much, much better competition.
  • Reserve of cash required for immediate investment in new ideas, technologies before someone else capture that market.
  • More folks are entrepreneurial and looking out for themselves vs. traditional values as loyalty.
  • Profits are no longer a guarantee: exposure/overhead must be reduced.
  • Profits are no longer personal nor necessarily come from hard work– timing, network and ideas matter more.
  • Um, how about really ugly market conditions?

The Rainmaker’s Credo



  The Rainmaker’s Credo  
     
 

PictureI am an avid reader – I burn through quite a few books to weed out the nuggets.  I thought I’d share some thougths from How to Become a Rainmaker: The Rules for Getting and Keeping Customers and Clients by Jeffrey J. Fox which is a fantastic book and a”must read” for those in the real estate industry.

-Cherish customers at all times

-Treat customers as you would your best friend
-Listen to customers and decipher their needs
-Make or give customers what they need
-Price your service to its dollarized value
-Show customers the dollarized value of what they get
-Teach customers what they need
-Make your product or service the way customers want it
-Get your product or service to your customers when they want it
-Give your customers a little more than they expect
-Remind your customer of the dollarized value they received
-Thank each customer sincerely and often

  The Difference Between Inspiration and Motivation  
     
 

Just a short thought of the day to ponder -

aWhen you’re inspired, you don’t need motivation as much.When you’re inspired, your internal “system” is touched to its core and it lasts for at least a year, or often a lifetime.When you’re motivated, it’s generally temporary, because only your ego or instinct is touched. When you’re inspired, you are more yourself. When you are motivated, you become excited about acquiring (greed) or becoming like someone else, such as a public figure or a celebrity. You are cranked up, but your enthusiasm fades when you’re out of the motivating environment or relationship. Motivation is an external, temporary high. Inspiration is an internal glow.

Ever had a slump?



  Ever had a slump?  
     
 

pictureWhen I see a high performance agent or team hit the skids or slide sideways in business, it is almost always a problem on the personal level.  One of the reoccurring issues is a tap root of bitterness that is held.  In order to break free and get back on track we need to pause the business coaching and start working through the issue. 

One of the fundamental truths we start with is to come to see how staying unresolved with someone or something in your past hurts you far more than it hurts anyone else.  My grandfather, an old preacher, used to have a saying that he would use from time to time in his sermons – “Bitterness is a poison that destroys the vessel in which it’s stored far more effectively than on the person on which it is intended to be poured.”

When we can see that it is hurting us far more than the other person it enables us to face the very real benefit of forgiveness and letting it go.  Those unresolved issues are an anchor that chains us to our past hurts, disappointments and wounds.  While the anchor holds, we have no hope of sailing on to our dreams.  The former always restricts the latter. 

When we are held up and haunted by the hurts of the past, learn to see them as the cancer they are and learn to forgive and let go. 

It’s in your benefit to do so.

It’s cheaper to do it right the first time



  It’s cheaper to do it right the first time  
     
 

PictureIt is EXTREMELY expensive these days to make mistakes when it comes to your business systems and service delivery. Customers are MUCH less tolerant of mistakes in today’s world than they were just a few short years ago. Consumers want the best for the buck and loyalty is an anachronism, as perhaps it should be. In other words, having what you offer to customers work 100% consistently is extremely valuable, given reliability and trust are key to consumers today. Innovation is great, but reliability is becoming even more important to them given the number of products that don’t work as advertised. But this puts the onus on you to make sure that what you’re offering works 100% of the time, not 99% of the time. The problem with many entrepreneurs is that they enjoy starting the next project before the current one has been perfected. The market won’t tolerate this casual attention to the details.  The last 10% of a project often takes the same amount of time as the first 90% does — perfection is an investment, it’s rarely simple or automatic.
