I want it!

Yesterday I had an appointment to start the day. It went well but was more of a relationship build than a ready and willing to pay client. After which I had planned to cold call. After getting to the car I decided (as i normally would) to get in go home and call it a day. The pressures of the goal and the need to drink started to creep in. Driving home i thought about my lack of positive feedback or sales. Fortunately I had no money to drink. But after getting home and watching a little TV I recalled how this is how my downfall always starts. An early exit during the afternoon usually leads to an entire day off, which always ends up being a week or more causing me to have to start all over. However the goal and the need to achieve mixed with the confidence to know that I can do it made a potent cocktail that fueled the rest of my afternoon. I then knocked out 40 calls and set a few appointments.

I want it!
I want to achieve my goal and as the days pass I feel stronger in knowing that I will reach it. Oh how life is going to be once its completed. I want to make it happen and know that if I keep the momentum going its only a matter of calls before I knock out the first sale. Keep it up.

Steps
Another thing that Ive noticed/learned is that just by keeping the daily routine I'm ensuring success. In the past I've stopped and started so much I had never got to the point of warming up. Now I've warmed up and kept moving. For me in sales for my confidence to stay strong I have to keep calling and build on the day to day. Otherwise its like running a marathon without having ran. I have to keep my jog to build that wind up that will keep my going throughout the length of the full race. It feels good to be in control and conquering my fears.
