When you decide that you want to improve. You MUST practice every… single… day. My wife and I enjoy going to the gym together. Sometimes we work out on our own, sometimes we take classes. We have been out of the gym for about ten days, I could easily offer various excuses – but let’s just keep it simple and call it “life.” So when we show up today to do our normal kickboxing class – it was tough, really tough. Neither of us had the stamina we normally have. And for me without stamina, I lost desire, and on top of that, I think I probably put on a few pounds, IN TEN DAYS! – and let’s just say, fortunately, the instructor, or coach, is awesome, because if he wasn’t I likely wouldn’t have made it out the other side of 60 minutes. This experience really made me realize how quickly we lose our basics, our simple skills, that we become accustomed to in everyday use. Not only does this apply to examples like the one I just gave, but in business as well. Many people, I’ll just say it, once they feel that they have “made it” – you know, they put in their 10,000 hours of deliberate practice… then they stop practicing, and practicing is often the thing that made them great and got them to where they are at in the first place. People that practice and maintain a learning mentality are the ones that excel the most. They see success, practice more, see more success, get results, you get the idea. I’m going to share with you 5 tactical things You Can Do To Practice that will help you to Learn and Improve! So here’s the deal – WRITE THESE DOWN (please) 1. Choose the right mentor(s). If you want to improve in an area, you must learn from people that are better than you are. While a lateral peer may have something to offer sometimes, you can’t get better from more of the same. But mostly you want to be deliberate about choosing people who are headed to where you want to go. People who are growing and learning, people who display excellence. 2. Show up. While “perfect practice” may be what you can walk through in your head, or a meditation, or watching another expert do the task. You MUST show up, physically, even when you don’t want to, including while you are still not as good as you want to be. Show up, excellence happens over time. 3. Consume The Right Data. Read books on the subject you want to improve on. Find relevant trade magazines. Watch videos. Google shit. Google is a magnificent learning tool. Listen to audiobooks on your business or subject. Take notes while you are doing these things. When you take the time to write things down they are more important and you will remember and recall better. 4. Be Observant. Being observant is different than just watching something. Observation means you are watching the ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlH2kFDc_z4

Check this video out ⚠️BUT⚠️ only if you want to sell more! We'll explore 5 simple marketing ideas that you can use to generate more customers! These will work for you whether you are a startup, a longtime entrepreneur, someone in retail business management, or a front line salesperson that just wants to crush it in business. As long as I have been in sales, managers and business owners have said, “It’s the salesperson's job to generate their own traffic!” - OR - “It’s your job to generate 50% of your own traffic!” But the thing is sometimes, we don't know where to start. So... where can you look for more customers? I have compiled this list of activities that have worked for me to generate my own customers and create my own destiny in sales. 1:47 Work with the people that you already know. ? Target someone that you have already sold. Talk to people that are already in your database. Call people back, respond to your messages and texts. Keep in mind that statistically only 50% of salespeople follow up even one time. Make sure that everyone that you know, knows what you do. Fill out the “ABOUT ME” section on your personal social media. 2:52 Plan on getting referrals. (FREE DOWNLOAD - https://bit.ly/referral_script) ? Word of mouth is still very powerful. And people are looking for a real human that they can trust and get real connections outside of social media. The struggle is that we often get nervous to ask people for who they know that may be in the market for our product. HOWEVER If you just ask, normally 1 in 4 people will know someone, or know someone that knows someone that needs what you have. Keep in mind referrals should not be your only method to market yourself o r your business, because then you are dependent on someone else to help you to sell and grow your business. 3:52 Social media ? Pick a platform. You need to be on social media. But you can’t be everywhere and everything to everyone. Try and dominate one or two platforms, become the resource for your industry. 5:20 Online Video. ? This is separate from basic social media. People are consuming video sites separate from social media and you can position yourself as an expert (but know what the heck you are talking about - there is an abundance of terrible advice) 6:38 What is your competition doing? ? People that want the highest level of success have to study their competition. If you played sports in high school - you likely watched film of opposing teams, or scouts came to watch you play to see how you were performing. It’s the same in business. ?
