I want to do a follow up to a message I sent out a few days ago. It was about having HOPE. I will lift out some statements from the book I mentioned, The Hope Quotient by Ray Johnston.
"Getting and staying encouraged is everyone's need - whether they know it or not."
"When people lose their hope, they lose their ability to dream for the future..."
"They brought me in to train their people. What was their number one need? Fresh vision for the future. Where does that come from? Hope."
The following is a very simple definition of the word hope I got from the internet: a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.
I just have some questions:
- Are you expecting to grow yourself and your business?
- Are you expecting to have new people come into your organization?
- Are you expecting your monthly PV to grow?
- Do you need a fresh vision for the future? (I think I do)
According to Ray Johnston the answer for the way to get a fresh vision is to have hope. When I first saw this opportunity I was hopeful it was true so it seems that having hope is a starting point for making things happen. The other word that seems to be vital is "expectations." I've heard some people say that having expectations could be negative because "what if...." Lots of what ifs but I have a hunch that people who have that view of expectations don't challenge themselves very often.
Think about this over this weekend. Are you hopeful? Do you need a fresh vision for your future?
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
