I have said on many occasions that clear goals are an essential element in achieving consistent results.
No doubt, many of you began 2020 with clear goals. Then along came COVID-19 and perhaps your goals went out the window. And if you didn’t abandon the idea of achieving goals this year, you may have put your goals on hold. I wouldn’t blame you if you did.
But without goals, the adverse effects of the pandemic on your income will be deeper and remain longer.
If you put your goals on hold, may I suggest that you dust them off and reset them?
Survival, or Growth and Prosperity?
By the end of September, three-quarters of 2020 will be behind you.
You have four months to get yourself out of survival thinking and into a growth and prosperity mindset. You have four months left of the year to get results.
And which line of thinking will serve you better – focusing on surviving, or focusing on growth and prosperity?
We become what we think about. Think survival and you will survive. Think prosperity and you will do the actions to manifest prosperity in your life.
Shock
The last pandemic the world saw was in 1918. I’ve never seen a pandemic before and neither have you. COVID-19 was a shock.
However, we need to keep moving forward!
Set goals, put plans in place, and focus on prosperity. Then get to work.
Thinking
Your thinking makes all the difference.
What you do from this point on determines whether you’ll be a victim, or somebody who overcame adversity and who grew not only as a salesperson but also as a human being.
I can’t change the COVID situation, but I can change how I deal with it. I can choose to set goals and to work toward them.
You have that choice too.
Dust off those goals!
