Why you should kick it up a notch to achieve your goals for the year

There’s only eight days left until Christmas are you where you want to be?

I found an interesting quote from Winston Churchill that I think you’ll like.  It’s interesting because only YOU can do it…only you can make your DREAMS (goals) happen.

Sometimes you’ve got to turn the heat up to get the water to boil.

Emeril Lagasse likes to “kick it up a notch” whenever he yells, “BAM!”.

Well, it is the same for you.  There’s one weekend before Christmas and you can do it if you’ll kick it up a notch.

You can achieve your goal for the year.

Ok, yes, I’m prodding you to do it because YOU CAN DO IT!

Now, go do it.

Below is the Winston Churchill quote:

“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

— Winston Churchill

Dave’s interpretation:

“If you will not focus on selling for the year when you have plenty of time to easily win without panicking, if you will not grab your goals when they are easy you may come to the moment when you have to really work your BUTT off and the odds are against you (time is running out).  There may even be a worse case..and you may have to work double time to make up for lost time even when there doesn’t seem to be any hope of succeeding.  But, it is better to exhaust every ounce of energy you have NOW to succeeding than to give up a miserable failure…not trying.”

Next time we’ll talk about a couple of strategies to help you achieve your selling goals for the last few days of the year.

Yes, it involves work.

But, if you don’t have money you’ve got time.

Happy Selling!
