There are days I don’t feel like working out, running, writing, or even going to work- but you force the behavior to go to work because you’ll get fired if you don’t.
Like work , you have to force the behavior when you don’t feel like doing something because you refuse to let your feelings govern your emotions.
There are few days when you truly “feel” like doing “it.” Your first day starting a change is probably the most optimistic day you’ll have...after that it gets tough, sore, and resultless.
Those tough days (after day one) are the days you have to trigger your Activation Energy (ht:Tommy Baker) and chase your first bead.
Chasing that first bead is like going to the gym cold & unmotivated, but once you break a sweat you get into your grove...
Chase your first bead...
In sales jump in front of that first customer and get your lingo and rhythm going, it’s a quick win and carry’s over to the next customer regardless of the initial results.
Writing: keep writing-the first page is terrible but by page 2 your thoughts are flowing & page 2 is now your new page 1.
Reports, projects, jogging- any tough project CHASE YOUR FIRST BEAD...
After a few minutes of persistently staying with it, your emotions will line up with your movements and you’ll catch your grove.
Stay in The Sales Life 💪
