I wanted to take just a moment to discuss a
topic that is very important. A topic
that matters greatly in your attempt to be a success in anything that you
do. In fact, its a critical function on
your road to success that is ironically littered with failure.
I’m talking
of course about a very important function known as Effort!
Have you
ever stopped to think about how much we create for ourselves or keep ourselves
from having by the amount of effort we choose to give? When you go after something with an attitude
that is focused on what you want you easily overlook the obstacles that can
clutter your mind and cause you to stop in your tracks.
One of the
best ways for you to check on your level of effort is to ask! Be honest; check your attitude toward what
you are doing and ask yourself how you feel about your effort. You may find that you need to refocus for a
moment before making that next call and giving it the effort your clients
deserve.
Effort is
what you bring to the table when it comes to achieving your goals. Its your ante in the big poker game of
life. Little effort, little return, big
effort, Big Return.
Too many
times I see people who get to a point where they feel as if their efforts are
never going to payoff, no matter how hard they work. Most of the time, you would find that these
people are not giving the effort necessary for success and ultimately quit,
citing various influences outside of their control. Blame is usually placed everywhere but where
it should be, on them.
I can tell you this, not putting forth effort is a
sure fire way to get exactly what you are working towards….nothing!
Just for today, check your effort, be honest with yourself and if you find an area that needs improvement - work on it.
Look for Part 2 and 3 of this important topic in the coming blogs.
