Stuck In A Rut? - Adopt The Samurai Creed!

Are you sick of feeling stuck in a rut? Are you ready to break free from the chains that bind you? Perhaps you should adopt the Samurai creed as your own. The Samurai were feared, fierce warriors in ancient feudal Japan. They lived by a very strict code. They were both feared and respected wherever they went. They had a very simple, yet powerful creed. "No hesitation, no doubt, no surprise, no fear." This creed is brilliant in its simplicity. It is the perfect strategy for getting things done. If you are sick and tired of feeling stuck in a rut, then maybe you should give some consideration to adopting the Samurai creed for yourself. Lets break the strategy down into its four separate elements. No Hesitation This is basically saying that once you have decided upon your course of action do not second guess yourself, do not hesitate but take instant and deliberate action towards the completion of the task at hand. You do not want to look back at all those missed opportunities because you hesitated and didn't strike while the iron was hot. Instead of waiting till the iron is hot, why don't you strike and make the iron hot? There is no time like the present when it comes to taking action. No Doubt Doubting yourself will only have a negative effect on your desired outcome. Do not let the seeds of doubt take root in the fertile soil of your mind. I think Henry Ford said it best when he said, "whether you think you can or whether you think you cant, you're right." You must have 100% faith and belief in yourself when you take action. You must remove all elements of fear from your mind, you must see yourself victorious in whatever endeavour that you are about to participate in. No Surprise This basically states that you should know as much as possible about what you are focusing on. You don't want any nasty little surprises, so its always best to do your due diligence before, rather than after. Do not rush into a situation without knowing as much as you possibly can about it. No Fear This states that it is best to have no fear. You have nothing to fear but fear itself. When you are afraid you are wasting the power of all the other elements in this powerful strategy. Can you imagine what you could accomplish if you adopted the Samurai creed?

Re: Who hates cold calling? - Here's how I have had success with cold calling: Adopt the right attitude.If you fear/hate cold calling, chances are you are feeling like an intruder. The person on the other end of the line isn't making us feel that way. We are. Why do we feel like an intruder? Could be a couple of reasons. One: we don't really believe in the value our product offers. Two: we aren't calling a somewhat qualified prospect. The person you are calling has problems. He/she WANTS solutions. EXAMPLE: I cold called someone yesterday. An ad agency. The web site offered a direct line to the agency principal. This was the conversation: "Hi, I'm a direct response copywriter who works with agencies who are swamped with writing projects. Do you ever hire outside writers?" [i:4b9wkh89]KEY: In one sentence he knows what I want. Before I called, I know that most agencies hire outside writers. It's a question of whether or not they need one now. [/i:4b9wkh89] His response? Yes. Now , here's where I need to resist the temptation to [u:4b9wkh89]tell[/u:4b9wkh89] him how great I am. I simply said, "I'd like to email you some evidence that shows how I can add value for your clients. Where can I email it to?" He gave me his email address and that was the end of the cold call. He didn't say , hmmmm, that would be nice...he simply, literally told me his email addresss. That's a sign he has a need. I sent him off some recent results I produced for a client. Yesterday he sent me an email asking to learn more about me. Who knows where it will go but it started with a cold call. So, why did this approach allow me to be heard and generate interest? I knew something about my potential prospect's needs. I let him know quickly what I was after. I didn't try to bend his ear with a 'Stop me when you hear something you like' story. Try this and see how if works for you. It's important to believe what you are offering can change the life of the person you're calling. Once you believe that, it's easy to understand that every time you make a call , you have a chance to make a difference for someone.
