Sometimes I seem to get stuck. I sit and think about what I might say that could make a difference to someone. I've learned that when I am stuck and my mind seems blank it seems to help if I think about what book I've read lately or maybe something I heard recently. I've been sitting here for a few minutes now and have read the above and "a ha!" What makes a difference?
As I've said before, this is a simple business and the main job I have is to get myself in gear and DO SOMETHING. What makes a major difference for me - and it will for you as well - is personal discipline. The definition of discipline includes: Activity, exercise, a regimen that develops or improves a skill; training; to be well-behaved.
Given that this is a skilled-based business, our personal discipline may be the major factor if we are to create an environment of growth. The idea is: am I able to get myself doing the right things for building my business? It's simple. Our job is to learn how to get ourselves in action. It's about taking the next step and when someone takes the next step, and then does it again over and over again, you will make progress. I don't think anyone wants to stay at 2000 PV for months on end, so it's a matter of training yourself to be more disciplined. When you do that you and your business will grow.
That is the thing that makes this business unique. Our job is to train ourselves and we do that by attending as many meetings as possible and at the same time applying what we learn. Learning by itself is a good thing, but learning and then applying is the secret. My future is based on what I am willing to get myself to do because no activity means no growth.
My last thought is I want to give you my personal definition of discipline; it is doing what's important.
What important for you to get done today?
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
