Much to be Done

With the holidays quickly approaching there is much to be done. Christmas presents to be bought and wrapped, fudge and cookies to be made and maybe a party or two to attend.

This is a great time to celebrate our successes over the past year and to be thankful for all the past year has given.

I can think of no better profession to be a part of than that of a Sales Professional and for that I am truly thankful.

But with one year ending and one soon to arrive we must begin setting goals and planning for next year.

Over the past several months I have discussed the importance of planning and setting goals. If you would like to refer back to some past articles, just click here on Goal Setting.

It is my hope that many of you are already setting goals and making plans to reach your goals. I am reminded of the article which we discussed how

“Those that set goals and write them down are 10 times more likely to achieve what they desire than those who don’t set goals.”

I encourage you to spend some time over the next couple of weeks thinking about the things you really want to achieve over the next 12 months. Don’t be afraid to think about goals that will require you to stretch and do things differently than you have in the past. I am asking that you think about:

• Goals that can and will make a difference in you and your families lives.
• Goals that will help build long lasting relationships with customers and co-workers and
• Goals that help you improve or become the person you want to be.

Write your goals down, think about them, then choose 3 to 5 goals you are truly committed to achieving over the next 12 months.

Don’t worry about making your plans to achieve your goals just yet, we will get to that after Christmas.

For now enjoy the holidays, celebrate with your family and friends and begin to think about the successes you want to celebrate next Christmas!
