What’s Important Now. Do you have any idea what it is that you need right now and if you do, are you aware how to motivate yourself and get to where you need to be? Let me put it more directly. Imagine there’s this girl/boy you like and you want to marry them. You know what you want – so how are you going to get there? Of course you’ll be very nice, loving shower them with all the love an attention – you will put in the effort to get this person – at least some of you will anyway.
And what about when you get into an accident on your way to a date– what would you do first? If you think you should call up this girl/boy and explain lovingly why you are going to be late or not turn up at all, there’s something wrong with you and you should get your priorities sorted.
What you should do is to call the tow truck and do whatever it is to get you car fixed. You cannot just live in the moment thinking that your short term decisions will benefit you in the long run. Please don’t be blur. You must prepare for what’s ahead and focus on key wins for long term benefits.
This is especially true with sales. You have to be consistent and project revenue for the future. If you can’t win now and today and know what’s important, how on earth are you going to make it? You will suffer like hell for sure.
With each daily win, your future tomorrows will be solid and secure. They key is to press on with perseverance and patience – this is extremely important. Set daily goals for yourself. Don’t just think your daily goal is to beat traffic and have a good dinner. Live your life wisely and effectively right now otherwise you had better just forget about your tomorrow.

In order to win, we must make sure that we have all the right tools. The knowledge, skills and right attitude to win.
Guess what?! I have been thinking a lot about goals and motivations recently.
Your write up enlighten me! I like your phase "we are not merely there to bit the traffic..".
I will always always always treasure your sharings and live up to them.
Allow me to use a proverb:
"what ever the mind can conceive and believe, we can achieve.."
Thanks Ernie for the sharing and reminding all the time. We always heard ATCENians said "Sharing is Caring".
To be a winner you need to accept challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory. So equipt yourself with the necessary skills and knowledge to move forward.
