Motivational Monday #98: "On Call"

Image result for on call
Yesterday at church they talked about if we were "On Call" to step into a moment when it presented itself even if it wasn't convenient or it was the "right" time for us. It resonated with me on many levels. The one I wanted to share today was for work and business development. 

 We may be leaving a meeting and chatting on the way out making small talk with an agent. In that small talk they could mention a hurdle or a success in their business. We could respond with "It'll get better" or "Way to go on the success". OR we could step up and into the conversation and make it meaningful by having a thoughtful response like "What do you think is missing" OR "What actions do you attribute to that success". From there we can keep going, have a meaningful conversation and engage with them. From there we have the opportunity to bring value to them, and begin a relationship. 

 It's up to all of us to lean in and be "On Call" when opportunities present themselves. I encourage each one of us to think about and act this week. 

 Let's rock it team.

Motivational Monday #247: Adapting is not a luxury if....

  Adapting is not a luxury if you want to keep succeeding at a high level.   Recognizing factual changes in an economy, market or industry is something we all must do. Then, with that knowledge we must look at what we are current doing and make updates/changes accordingly in order to keep the pace we want to be on. If things change and we do not, we still change, but at the control of outside and not inside.  Change does not mean (though it may in some cases) leaving some things fully behind. It may mean we do MORE of some things, less of others or a combination of both. The only MUST is to do something; doing nothing is becoming a passenger. We also do not change for the sake of change. We change to help us adapt effectively. Effectively is defined as getting us to the goal or destination that we set forth. We don't lower our goal/standards when things change; we ourselves rise up.  It's a choice every day and many times during the day as well to rise up. Others will choose t

Motivational Monday #258: Give Up

Image
  Just because something use to be a road block in the past does not mean it has to be now. YOU CAN DO IT! Give up on thinking that hard is impossible. Give up on believing that the idea or thing in your heart is not for you. Give up on allowing outside opinions the power to hold you down.  When you give up these things it allows you to PICK UP what you need to achieve the goals you have in your head and your heart. Potential is a great things, but it becomes truly beautiful when you embark on the journey towards achievement of it. On the journey you will have obstacles, don't give up. On this journey you will encounter people who will hinder you as well as people that enable you; mind that difference. On your journey you will also be inspiring others by your words and actions for them to Give up as well, so they can PICK UP & Go as you are.

Motivational Monday #266: Take The Hill

Image
Standing at the base of a journey looking up my feel daunting. That may be true, it m ay be daunting, but worth it. We choose the journey ahead, forward & up because we want to improve, grow, succeed & provide. We grow into that accomplishment & when we get to the top we enjoy the view and celebrate. Please remember the journey that we take in order to get there. Those are the victors, wins, setbacks and stories that create it all while creating who & what we are.  We are capable.  We are equipped.  We are worth it.
