It's February - how are your goals going so far?

Where the heck did January go? Okay, so you started 2010 with great goals, anticipation, enthusiasm and energy. How are you doing so far? Are you on track with your goals? How’s that diet and exercise program working so far?

I don’t ask this just to be a pain in your hind side. I ask as a coach. We all need encouragement at times. We all get “stuck” sometimes because we are juggling so many commitments and activities. Decide what is most important to you and add some sincere effort to it today.

The difference between try and triumph is a little umph. ~Author Unknown If you need a hand for that extra “umph” - feel welcome to hire a coach you can relate to.

Busy time of the year!

I know it’s been a few weeks since I updated my blog - but it’s “crunchtime.” Sales managers and reps want ideas on how to finish strong in 2009 so that the momentum builds into 2010. By the way, you probably realize that 2010 is just over 60 days away - right? Yes, it’s crunchtime!

What goals do you have for the next 8 weeks? What did you want to accomplish that you have not yet? Who can help you reach your goals?

The most popular questions I am getting in my coaching and speaking business revolve around how to be more proactive, the most profitable “High Return Activities,” how to stay positive with clients and Focused on today and the future. A lot of people are dealing with more transitions, mergers, changing roles and challenges they have not faced in years. So, there is a lot of fear out there right now.

These challenges can be met - if you put some thought into it and don’t seclude yourself into a vacuum chamber. Brainstorm with other leaders, who have experience and vision. Do NOT get involved with the complainers and pessimists. They’ll suck any energy and hope you have - if you get in their grasps.

Low energy, high stress, limited time? Change habits and change your outlook!

This week I spoke with a friend who was feeling frazzled by the current economy. She has never worked so hard for such little money. The stress-levels are sky high, energy is low, morale is below sea level and my friend is really frustrated. I asked her what she was doing for exercise. “Neil, I just don’t have time or energy anymore.” That is a comment I hear often these days. Remember this. It doesn’t matter what is going on in your career, life or day. You control your attitude and your activity. Take responsibility and give yourself permission to get daily exercise! It will inspire you and raise yours self-esteem, energy and alertness. read more…
