Re: EXCELLENT question...here is one (MY) answer.
Quote:
I hearsya brudder. However, I think you answered a different question. That's the why should I get off my dead ass and take action question. I couldn't agree with you more. Once I got off my dead ass and started my cold calling regimen, God was I money maker. But what got me off my dead ass? That sir probably has a unique answer since, that is if we believe, we are all unique. My motivation was to show the boss I could produce like a champ and that he didn't make a mistake in hiring me. I also knew that if I produced like I told myself I could, I'd make a bundle of ole Mr. Scratch. I was a new hire at Dean Witter BTW. I'm not bragging by a long shot. I was only in the top 10%. Some of the guys I knew were in the top 5%. Moving forward to today. I'm 72 and don't really need to work a day on my shortened horizon. At the same time I just wrote and sent off to the home office another life insurance policy. Can't help myself. Gotstodoit or shrivel up and die. My take action reasons are of course my own and may not fit anyone else on the forum. However, I did know once I made up my mind only me/yours truly was responsible to take action. I took it. Yeah proving my boss wasn't a jerk in hiring me certainly helped to motivate me BUT (still big) I had to take the action. Anyway all your stuff is excellent and your experiences seem to parallel some of mine. I don't know if that's a plus or minus but I do know we know action comes only from within. Enticements and money are nice but there will always be people who won't take a single step forward. I say recognize that and keep putting that one foot in front of the other. It'll work out for at least you or me in my case. |
