Roeboater Thoughts

Today is what we make of it. In the words of Wooden "Make Today Your Masterpiece." We have just 10 more Mondays in 2021. Let that sink in. We can make them incredible we we approach them with verve for growth, success, passion (you can keep choosing adjectives) :) Write down 10 goals that you want to accomplish by the end of the year and share them with an accountability buddy. It's important that we write them down, but also that we make them known to someone other than ourselves as well.  Have fun with this. Push yourself with this. You'll thank yourself for doing this.

The enthusiasm of the customer/client (really anyone) cannot rise higher then what we bring to their experience with us.  We set the bar for every meeting and interaction that we have on a daily basis. We begin setting it not when we show up, but on our way there. It's important for us to build small margins in our day to get our head and hearts right for what is coming next.  Cast nervousness aside.  Welcome in the expectation of success; every time.  When people have an interaction they don't just care about the 'what' we are sharing; as humans we crave the feeling of importance, care and connection as well. We cannot glaze past it, so as we embrace it we grow in depth of value and relationship which creates something that can be lasting. 

  We may talk about competition but our most competitive rival is ourselves. We truly compete against ourselves.  Will | Desire | Drive | Execution Many things will pull us from the above terms, but it's up to us to stay true & focused to achieve what our goals are.  Don't get distracted by shiny objects, fads or other rabbit holes that appear.  Today focus on creating opportunities for yourself & seizing them. 

  Did you know that the goldfish only has a 10 second memory? Yup, it's true just ask Ted Lasso.  They don't get discouraged, they keep swimming forward and do not let disappointment get them down. They have the horizon, or what is out front to look forward to. Today be encouraged that anything that may be weighing you down can only be temporary. Its up to us to replace it with the next good thing.  Bad sales call, move on and make a good one. Rough meeting with a client, focus on what you can learn from it and grow. This doesn't have to be just in a silo for worth either. I know for me when I feel a rut and a bit down I'll hop on my bike for 10 min or do another workout session for just 10 min and I'm refocused and good to go.  Have an amazing one!
