Years ago author John Gray published his now classic relationship book entitled “Men are from Mars – Women Are from Venus”. Dr. Gray the wisdom that we must “fill up our tank” every day to maintain a positive mindset in the competitiveness of today’s business environment.
Dr. Gray said “It is important to fill up your tank every day so that you are armed to deal with the adversity that is bound to come. A full tank will reinforce your mental toughness and your mindset.”
Here are 4 ways you can fill up your tank every day…
1. Read inspirational material 30 minutes early in the morning or before you go to bed (better still, do both) Example: “The Magic of Thinking Big”, David J. Schwartz.
2. Listen to inspirational material in your car or on the treadmill while exercising. Example: Jim Rohn, Jack Canfield, Tamara Lowe, Wayne Dyer.
3. Search out exciting motivational input from others online. Example: TED talks – Simon Sinek, YouTube — Darren Hardy.
4. Invest in “The 90% Factor”
Bombard yourself with great material…every day is “Tank filling time!” By filling up your tank you are protecting yourself from ongoing negativity and the difficulties of dealing with emotional home buyers, emotional home sellers, even emotional real estate salespeople.
Build up your “armour”…sales success is 90% Mindset. NO Excuses. BK
