Just Decide Already
Just Decide Already
Did you ever hear the phase – Progress is better than perfection?
If you are hung up on a decision, nothing every goes forward. Think about that pile on your desk that never gets done. That pile is a bunch of things we can’t just decide to deal with. Making a decision about throwing it out or dealing with it is crippling if we keep putting it down and noticing it every time we walk past it. It’s not just physically there — it’s mentally zapping our energy with guilt about letting it sit there day after day. It’s because we put off deciding what to with it.
Today I’m going to make a few decisions! That’s it! I’m not going to delay anymore. I’m hitting the pile and making at least 10 decisions on the spot. I’ve spent enough energy on that damn pile. Join me. Take something you’ve been ambivalent about and just decide already.
Giving it Away
Giving it Away
When you’re in a room, networking or selling or marketing, you want people to like you. To be interested in what you’re selling. To sign on for your service or your product. What do we do?
We tell them everything we know about what we do. No, no, no. We need to make them want what we know and we need them to want to pay us for what we know.
Instead we overwhelm them with knowledge instead of giving them an opportunity to get to know us better. And we need to find out more about THEM, and what they need.
So only tell them enough so you provide the barest minimum. A teaser of information. Only enough so they’ll want to come back for more of your gems of wisdom or more of the product you provide. Give them only a tiny demo and leave them wanting more.
