Bankruptcy to Millionaire

Know your outcome.

The title of the entry is also the outcome I wish to achieve with this blog over the long run. Specifically over the next 48 months.

Knowing my outcome is one of the most important things to gettin ANYTHING done. Whether it’s hanging out with friends, or writing your next book. You should know your outcome.

What is it that you want to achieve by doing This. Ask yourself when you start your day: “What’s my outcome?”

Maybe it’s as simple as, to relax and not be bothered by anything or anyone all day. Or maybe it’s to gain a feeling of accomplishment.

When you start a new project ask yourself “What’s my outcome going to look like when I finish? Or the next time you get in an argument with your wife or girlfriend ask yourself “What’s my outcome from this fight?”

Chances are this will help you realize what you really want. You don’t want to yell and scream until you’re blue in the face. You want to reach an understanding with each other, or find common ground.

When I start my day of cold calling. I know my outcome: “To gain at least 3 project leads”. Once i know my outcome, I can plan on how I’m going to achieve this. If I just go out and don’t know what my outcome is going to look like. How do I know if I’ve ever achieved it?

Once you have clearly defined for yourself what it is that you are looking for as an outcome. You will begin to see the exact path to take, and achieve exactly what you’ve set out to do. Otherwise you’re just driving blind.

What’s your outcome?

This coming Wednesday is a day I’ve set aside to make COLD CALLS for the advertising company I work for.

In spirit of massive action:

So in addition to just “going out” and calling on businesses. I commit to gaining at least 1 new project on that day. If I do not get at least 3 project lead, I will continue to go out full time everyday until I achieve this.

One of my biggest downfalls in my ability to achieve massive financial success has been my willingness to give up if it gets hard. Or not giving 110% every time.

NOT ANYMORE!

I will be busting my ass every moment to gain as much business as humanly possible. This will not only help build integrity and momentum. It will also help financially with commissions.

I’m going to leave you with a quote from my #1 Sales Mentor:

“Obstacles can’t stop you. Problems can’t stop you. Most of all, other people can’t stop you. Only you can stop you.”
