Secret to success in selling is…

A few months ago, Michael Content, shared with me 2 little sayings that he has printed up and reads every morning when he sits down to do his Daily Success Plan activity to close even more loans.

I printed it up myself, and come to find out, he may be on to something… I’ve had a noticeable uptick in my team’s closed loans since I started it too

So I thought I would share it with you for you to print up to try it yourself for 30 days (that’s all it took for us to see a noticeable difference).

Here you go…

The secret to the success in selling is to be committed to my daily success plan without being emotionally attached to my results. 

I can’t always control my daily results, but as long as I follow through with the process, the law of averages will always play out and my epic results will take care of themselves.

I can get control of my time and my life only by changing the way I think, work, and deal with the responsibilities that I have each day. 

I can get control over my tasks and activities only to the degree that I stop doing some things and start spending more time on the few activities that can really make a difference in my life.”

That’s it.  I know I know, it sounds a bit “woo woo-ish”, but it’s funny how what we say is soooo important.  That’s been proven over and over again.

It has surely been working for me, but I found I have to actually read it out loud while sitting at the desk right before I start working the daily plan.

Do it for 30 days, along with the Daily Success Plan for 30 days and then let me know how much you increased your loan count.

Of course this won’t work without following the very specific Daily Success Plan.  That’s like buying a car without an engine.  Feels good sitting in it, but it doesn’t actually move.

So I’ll give you the Daily Success Plan too

Just go here and we’ll walk you through it step by step <no charge>.

Getting rid of the clutter, so you can…

I’ve got something for you that has been a game-changer not just to my bank account, not just for my mortgage business, but for my entire life…

…. And it isn’t about numbers, interest rates, or credit scores.

It’s about YOU, your life, and how to maximize your happiness while minimizing the clutter.

In our hustle to close deals and make the magic happen, we often pile up some tasks, commitments, and some relationships that were put into place to help us, but sometimes, after a while, may feel like a big ol’ boat anchor holding us back.

Don’t get me wrong, the vast majority of our relationships are nothing short of awesome, but those few can suck the energy out of us like a New York City blackout.

They can make it so we dread going to work, thus robbing us of being at the top of our game.

I want you to do a bit of homework (don’t worry, it’s not hard).

I have found great success in my personal and business life in a process I call “Simplify Your Life” (inspired by Brian Tracy)

Ask yourself, “What or who is in my life right now that, knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t invite into my life today?”

This ain’t about regret, or uncool at all folks. It’s about grabbing your life by the horns and steering it where YOU want to go.

Could be a sticky task you’ve been dreading, a draining relationship, or even a shiny gadget that’s been collecting dust instead of making life easier.

Once you’ve nailed down these speed bumps, ask yourself, “What’s the first step to take to break free and eliminate this from my life?”

Could be a heart-to-heart chat, a polite “no, thanks,” or just deciding to part ways with the thingamajig that’s lost its sparkle.

Now, let’s not go crazy and start ditching everyone who disagrees with us on the latest sports scores.

Especially when it comes to family, it’s important to be cool, be patient, and remember: no one’s perfect.  We show grace to long time friends and family.

Challenges are just part of the game, and open, honest talks can turn them into opportunities.

The point of all this? To help you focus on what truly jazzes you up and makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning, ready to take on the world.

You deserve a life filled with people and tasks that light you up, not weigh you down.

Remember, simplifying your life and bettering yourself is a marathon, not a sprint.

Every step you take gets you closer to a life that’s more fulfilling, less stressful, and chock-full of the good stuff. So, take it easy on yourself and enjoy the ride.

I’m super excited to hear what you think about this idea, so let’s chat!
