How Goal Setting Unleashes Your Potential
How Goal Setting Unleashes Your Potential
I imagine he started thinking if he can do it so can I!
So, he established a goal to swim the 1.4 miles of chilly waters from Alcatraz to the city. According to the article I read his mother wasn't too happy about the idea.
She apparently changed her mind when she realized how committed Braxton was to his goal.
He achieved his goal and completed the swim in 47 minutes.
He was motivated by his clearly defined goal.
He says his next goal is to swim the English Channel.
I'm confident he'll achieve this very ambitious goal.
A few observations:
First, Braxton is only seven years old drawing inspiration from reading magazine articles. Maybe there is a lesson here for all of us.
Second, if a seven-year-old boy can set and achieve an extraordinary goal like this, shouldn't that accomplishment motivate you to become what you are capable of becoming?
Third, wouldn't every selling day be a better one if began your day with a specific and written sales goal?
On a different but related subject I started rereading Og Mandino's classic book, "The Greatest Salesman In The World."
The following quotes are from this phenomenal book.
"Failure is man's inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be."
Stupidity, in my humble opinion, is not setting goals in the first place.
Success comes when you "combine what you learn with the experience you acquire." It's imperative you keep the wheel of learning in motion.
If you want to learn more about how to become a great salesperson use this l*ink to get more information about this priceless book that only costs $7.99.

Braxton Bilbrey is a seven-year-old boy. He lives in Glendale, Arizona. He read about a nine-year-old boy who swam from Alcatraz Island to the city of San Francisco.
I imagine he started thinking if he can do it so can I!

She apparently changed her mind when she realized how committed Braxton was to his goal.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
