What do an Egret, Chicken and Entrepreneur have in common?
Last weekend, this question came to mind as we were hiking in a nature preserve. Upon hearing more foot traffic and a dog, the Egret quickly flew to the other side of the pond for safety. The infamous chicken crossed the road simply to get to the other side. Animals behave on instinct to get out of harms way.
The entrepreneur however, possessing a more powerful brain, will kill time worrying about how to get past their own roadblocks thus potentially becoming an endangered specie. However, the successful entrepreneur will make it past all of the roadblocks with fanfare.
Whenever you feel stuck and need to advance, review your long-term goal. Do you still smile when you think about it? If the thought of attainment alone alters your mood, then secure the help to get there. The help may well be you in solitude contemplating your next move. Organizing your thoughts and laying out milestones to get to your bigger vision will do wonders.
You may need to hire an assistant to help with the extra work or a mentor who can advise you on how to easily overcome that which is holding you back. Wouldn’t it be nice to be as free as the Egret to simply pick yourself up and fly over to your next best spot!
When you focus and take positive action to overcome roadblocks and advance forward, you send a huge marketing message out to the world that you have confidence and are a leader in your pursuit. You will begin attracting more prospects to your business.
Let others know what you are working on and where their insight might be helpful. In this manner business development will become automatic. Build your relationship with associates and clientele. This may turn into a collaboration with new partners which will then lead to closing more sales.
When you focus not just on you but the collective whole, you will easily remove your roadblocks, advance beyond the other side and experience the Smooth Sale!
