He is most of the way through.....
Army Basic training....
In Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.....
Or if you have been in the Army.....
"Fort Lost In The Woods, in the state of Misery"....
He recently passed his "PT Test"......
Which stands for "Physical Training".....
When you are in Basic Training.....
And NOT used to exercise....
Call it "Physical Torture"!!!
You have to do....
40 push-ups....
40 sit-ups....
And a two mile run!!
Oh wait....
That is what I had to do......
Thirty years ago......
And after listening to my son....
ALOT of things HAVE gotten softer....
I am NOT a "physical" kind of person....
For me, the worst part....
Was the two mile run……
Two mile run……
Around a quarter mile track……
Being the “Half glass empty” kinda guy….
In THOSE DAYS……
I used to psyche myself DOWN……
While running this……
Seven and a half laps to go…..
Seven laps…..
Six laps……
And so on!!!!
It NEVER seemed to get shorter….
It was grueling because of the way….
That I would LOOK at it……
Rather than focusing on what I have accomplished….
But on How MUCH I had left to do!!!
When you have this kind of thinking…..
The “Inbox” is ALWAYS full…..
The “bills” are always piling up…..
The house is NEVER cleaned…..
The laundry is ALWAYS dirty!!!
Once I moved on to Germany….
With the Army…..
We had a course mapped out…..
No “laps”, just one BIG one!!
It didn’t seem as grueling…..
There was a goal to reach…..
A finish line!!!
But do you want to know what????
I never completed it any faster!!!
Was doing laps better than the long run…..
When it comes to accomplishing things……
In life and your business……
Can you guess which is best?????
Well……Joe Schroeder recently said…..
”The reason why ‘Self Help’ doesn’t work……”
Is because there is no repetition!!!”
Then, how many times has Diane Hochman taught about…
Having a “90 Day Plan”????
Do YOU stop it after 90 days????
Or do YOU repeat it again????
I think you know the answer to that!!!
She also has told us…..
”The Four ‘C’s’- Collect, Capture, Communicate, and Close”
Does that work just one time????
Tick….tick….tick…..tick……tick……..
(I think YOU know this one too)
Sooooooooo……any idea WHY you are struggling????
Because YOU are looking at this business as I did running laps…..
I count down my ”tasks to do”…….
Rather than the accomplishment I have achieved!!!
That is grueling……
And will defeat YOU everytime!!!
”One person opted in!!!”
NOT…….
”Four hundred people rejected my message!!!”
You CAN start a forest fire……
With just ONE Match……
BUT…….
You have to light the match first!!!
Want to meet some characters of CAN DO????
