Roeboater Thoughts

I think we can all remember the times when a customer sang our praises and we grow within the sphere of their office or the group they ran with. Sometimes it happens organically which is great, but I want to think about the times that it didn't happen organically and we cultivated it ourselves.  We have a great response, we ask for a Reach 150 &/or "Who do you know that we should be working with to?" (I hope we are asking that question) Right now in Q-4 it's a great time to begin asking our clients how we have preformed for them as a business partner this year for them. I'm not just talking about our top 5% clients, but a solid mix to get a feel for how we are doing, where we can improve & where we are excelling as well.  Let's rock this market! YOU can do it with the support of your great TEAMS. 

Check out this link to a short 3 min video: https://www.facebook.com/coachtomferry/videos/10216321063481118/ Don't stop at 1 call.  Have discipline to drive your day, don't allow it to drive you.  Get out....the business isn't in your office; it's out in the marketplace.

Last week out in the field I came across this quote written on a whiteboard in an office. It caught my attention so I took a picture of it to come back to later which I did over the weekend and reflected on it.  Today is the 90th Motivational Monday that I've written and we have 90 days left in 2018. The previous 275 days we cannot change (the start), but we can start where we are (today) and change the ending. The really cool part is that we can focus on making great impact/change for the end of this year which will set the stage for our 2019 start. When we start with momentum in the right direction we can be an unstoppable force. That doesn't mean that there won't be obstacles along the way, that just means that you'll look at those obstacles as growth opportunities and not a  deterrent.  This week let's look at & act on the things/habits we can bring back or start that will help us change the ending. Our lives are not in silos so when we focus on impr
