Do you ever take time to see the light?
Today, I had the pleasure of enjoying a ride through the countryside viewing farm animals of every kind – even a llama! Our destination was Bodga Bay. The area is one where the ocean and the bay come together. We hiked over a mile upward to enjoy an extraordinary view, watch the waves break and feel the warmth of the California sun.
On the drive home, I was struck by the comparison of the streaming sun and the tunnel of darkness entrepreneurs have to navigate to get to their light at the end of the tunnel. Only for most, they proceed from one dark tunnel to the next, rarely taking time to enjoy the occasional sunlight.
Most entrepreneurs are so stressed all the time by trying to keep up with the “have-to’s” they do not schedule in a break for quiet time or enjoying a more pleasurable pastime. When you do take time for yourself to enjoy the world around you, you will feel your mind and body relax and become clear about your intentions. You will feel a renewed energy and be better focused to begin anew the following week.
Make a promise to yourself that from now on you will schedule in a couple of hours of getaway time in a place that makes you smile. Honor the time and make it yours. You will be amazed how much better your feel.
You may even find it surprising that when you make your special time a habit, more people will be attracted to you and your business. When you are relaxed, you encourage your prospects and clients to relax. You will help them to dismantle the barriers between you serving to build relationships and a more honest dialogue. The outcome will be both your conversations and sales will improve.
Remember, ink in the private time and you will soon experience the Smooth Sale!
