The 4th quarter is right around the corner. Don't fall prey to the laziness that often clouds the holiday season. If you do, you will pay for it in the 1st quarter. If you are not working today, there is no immediate real effect in your cash. 90 day later however, the lead you should have generated will never have been followed up on, never got into contract, never had the chance to close and as such you will not be paid.

While this slowing down is natural, it’s not a good way to keep your business on-track for those big end of year goals, is it? Maybe you feel a little trapped between fewer easy opportunities this time of year, difficulties in the weather, and even distracted from work by the holiday spirit.

Avoiding failure keeps you stagnant. Embracing it allows you to move forward mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially. Ignorance = Fear; Knowledge = Confidence. Acquire the knowledge you need to live the life you desire. Delaying your education is the same as putting off making your best life possible. “Uncertainty and fear are relieved by authority. Training is authority.” ~ Ryan Holiday (Author of Ego is the Enemy) Get away from judgment and criticism and into curiosity. Open your mind to new thoughts and integrate those thoughts into inspired action. “We should hunt out the helpful pieces of teaching and the spirited and noble- minded sayings which are capable of immediate practical application – not far far- fetched or archaic expressions or extravagant metaphors and figures of speech – and learn them so well that words become works.” ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca (Roman Stoic philosopher and later advisor to the emperor Nero) Versatility is the key to emotional, mental, and financial success.
