Think & Act Differently with Sales Academy

'The Doldrums'

Did you know they call it 'the itch' because of the zone it occurs in, the Inter-Tropical-Convergence-Zone

But the doldrums are also a state of mind, a state of stagnation, depression, a feeling of low energy and low momentum...

Have you ever felt them?

What can you do about them?

Have a listen and enjoy. If you want help with this, to get past, to pull yourself out of the funk or to refocus where & who you want to be... then get in touch, drop us a message.

How many times do we hear people say things like "I am not racist but...." and then go on and say the most racist thing ever! Or "I am not having a go, but...." and then literally rip strips off you.

Ladies and gents, in my world, this is not acceptable! We have all done it in someway shape or form, I believe, that life is for learning and improving. Owning who we are and who we want to become and our journey there. 

I challenge you all to get involved in this discussion and raise awareness, challenge the prefix statements and enable others to learn and grow together. If we are complicit, we are allowing this to happen, we are in agreement, in pact with what is being said...our words hit, they land, they hurt, they trigger! 

Enjoy listening to this episode and I would love to hear your thoughts, views and opinions, with compassion and a good heart, I wish you all the happiness you can handle! 

Who knew that kids of today would be so focused on manifesting or as they call it 'scripting'. 

A term my daughter uses and asked me about increasingly over the last 12 months, and who now takes great pride in sharing with me whats coming to fruition. Isn't that interesting!   

The power of the mind? The power of universal law? The power of law of attraction? Whatever you think or feel, the power is in you to focus and attract, focus and create and creation is part of manifestation.   

A brilliant article in Vox.com (https://www.vox.com/the-goods/21524975/manifesting-does-it-really-work-meme) talks about this and i remember reading it last year and smiling as it had been my reality and is my reality when i choose to focus my time and energy on manifesting things, experiences, feelings - it tends to show up!  

One thing we can all recall if someone we know who only ever focuses on negative shit, and look what happens all the time to them, around them, because them....yes....more shit!   

Be mindful what you think of and wish for, right?

How many 'things' do you find yourself re-doing and it takes up so much brain power each time you do. Simple tasks, admin tasks, basic functions but each time you do it, you do it from afresh each time. 

I challenge you to look across the aspects of your business and look at what is systemised, what isn't and what are the priorities to get systemised on? 

Think about the return on the investment...consistent training, ongoing review against benchmarks & standards set, consistent outputs, higher service levels, better client retention, but also consider the personal aspects...less frustration, less headaches, less repeat, repeat, repeat and more LEVERAGE! 

Wouldn't that be nice? Know what? You too can have that with a little upfront effort, a little short term pain for long term gain. 

This is what we do at Sales Academy, we get results, FACT! 

OMG...how destructive is this emotion, this behaviour, this choice. 

From personal experience, this fucker of an emotion has held me back, tripped me up and let me to more destructive behaviours than i care to repeat, but the day I chose to say no more, was the day I decided to conquer my unconscious obsession with this emotion and the eradicate the damage I was doing to me, my life, my business & my loved ones. 

Guilt and shame can all blend into one at times, by I have made decisions in the past, tough ones that I have felt guilty of, yet its been my choice to learn how to deal with that guilt, learn from it and process it better, freeing me to make better decisions...but for years I chose different, i chose denial, i chose to carry it round yet never acknowledge it was there, eating away at the good in me and the good in my life. 

No more. Guilt...you fucker! 

This one has been a game changer for me for years. Whether that be living it, teaching it or holding myself and others accountable to it. 

A simple yet very powerful principle to embed into our lives and business that create a culture of accountability.

Power to you. 

Stop waiting for life to come to you. Why wait for the validation or permission of someone else or something else. We all wait even as grown ups. Take the plunge, enjoy the moment. Live your life. Be kind

We don't know what we don't know. We also don't know that what we know is correct most of the time...consider that for a moment!  

Getting comfortable in the uncomfortable in all areas of life is key to growing as a human being. Whether that be mentally, physically, emotionally, educationally, financially or spiritually...growing is the only constant. If we are not growing, we are dying.   

So what areas of your life and business do you want to grow stronger in? What part of your day is keeping you up at night? How many things are you putting off doing, because you don't believe you can?  

Time to start living....time to start getting comfortable in the uncomfortable.

Have you ever heard Dan Stanley of Better Men (https://better-men.uk/) speak before. If not, I wholeheartedly encourage you to follow this guy and join up with his tribe of men who in his words, leave their ego in the car park and walk out together. 

Dan joined us at Evo networking (https://www.evo-networking.com/) this morning and gave us 45 minutes of absolute gold in terms of challenging our thinking and how we feel about success, our lives and what really matters. He shared lots of wisdom as well as mentioning two epic books, which I highly recommend picking up, one being Legacy - the story of the All Blacks and the second being Untethered Soul - an absolute game-changer of a book. 

Dan asked us and challenged us to reflect on our choices, our disciplines, our habits that aren't serving us and to consider new ones that would serve us better, leaving us with an epic quote, part of that you can find in the title of this podcast and the purpose for this podcast.

Enjoy and reflect on it...what are you avoiding that you know you need to make a shift with. 

**Public disclaimer, my partner doesn't pick her toe nails...thought I better make that clear! 😂

People always say that life is about compromise, relationships, business etc etc its all about compromise! 

Here is why I don't agree with that! Because when we compromise ourselves, our values, our beliefs, what makes us us, disappears. Understand for you, how you define the difference between accommodate and compromise! 

Enjoy
