Habits



An acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it  becomes almost involuntary (the Barbie Nun top splash was just to get your attention)
     I have read volumes about good habits and how to establish them.  From visualization to starting small to doing something for thirty days straight (repetition).  They are all important! However, I have to tell you something that I learned a long time ago regarding behavioral changes.  Back in the day, it was called "accountability partners" but in today's lexicon I would characterize it as "shout it out"
Tell as many people as you can about what it is you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Not only does it create accountability on your end (the heaviness of living up to expectations is a massive motivator for taking the right action) but it also might give you that "cheerleader high five" just when you need it.
     So start by telling everyone you are going to begin making 5 well researched prospecting calls per day and suggest to them that they ask you about your progress on this.........well....everyday. 
     Let me know what happens!!!
 Habitually yours,

PS:
     It was a hot day outside.....so three nuns decided to take off their clothes and bolt the door to their church.Since there were stain glass windows, nobody could see inside, and the door was locked. The nuns were busy doing renovations when a Thud Thud Thud hit the door. A shocked nun ran to the door and pulled her clothes up over herself, when she asked "Who is it"? The reply from behind the door was "Its the blind man". The 3 nuns looked relieved when they heard he was a blind man, no sight no problem they figured, and let him in. Upon opening the door, in entered a burly man in coveralls and said loudly "on which windows do you want these installed? "
Habitually yours,
dan
