In my work with business professionals, I find that they often say to me that they have prospects that they haven’t followed up with (for whatever reason), or they lost track of some of the referrals people gave them.  First of all, it’s hard to believe that someone wouldn’t have a process for tracking their referrals/prospects because that is potential revenue – but apparently this happens and probably more than it should.  So, I came up with a simple tracking spreadsheet to help my clients better know who they have in their pool of prospects, in order for them to know where their p…

Today we are talking about tip #3 to re-evaluate and re-set your goals, which is to track your goals on a weekly basis. If tracking your goals on a daily basis is what works for you (and I recommend this, of course), then go for it! But working towards your goals is about micro-steps that get you closer to success, so you may not see measurable results on a day-to-day basis. Schedule some time each week to reassess your goals and track your progress towards them. You can utilize time blocking to set aside the same time on your calendar each week to help you do this. Think about what’s work…

It urges you to think that you can get whatever you want in life only if you put your mind and effort into it.  Ability undoubtedly plays an integral part too, but it will not suffice until you have a concrete belief system. Moreover, you will have to align your beliefs with the proper habits to propel you into positive action.  To download my complimentary thought-provoking Power of Visual…
