Are you looking to end the year with record growth? The momentum you build NOW leading into the holiday season will influence the pace of your business as you move into the New Year.

Yes, it’s time to think about the New Year – today!  If you aren’t already sprinting with a 90-day plan, now is the time to leverage this exciting cycle of the season!

And with working smart in mind … let’s review why it’s important to identify WHO on your team deserves your time.

A key principle for high achievement is: Do not slow down your pace to match the pace of anyone on your team!

Through experience, you’ll discover that not everyone will be willing to take action and go the distance.

Case in point: Your new Consultant doesn’t come to the business presentation they were scheduled to attend, or misses the conference call they agreed to be on, or is a no-show at a training event.  That’s the time to recognize the situation for what it is.  No need for judgment … just awareness.

Your job as a leader is not to MOTIVATE people … but to find MOTIVATED people.  To find people who are willing to take action and the necessary steps to make their dreams come true.

And for most of us, it’s when we find our next like-minded business partner … you know, that excited and motivated Consultant who jumps into action … that we realize exactly who we are looking for!

I understand that it’s easy for people to TELL us what they are going to do.  However, it’s important to evaluate whether their ACTIONS match their WORDS.

Here’s a phrase that sums this up beautifully: “Work with the willing, and love the rest.”

If you are committed to work smart during the 4th quarter … and move into the Holiday season with momentum and pace … this is a proven strategy that must be part of your 90-day plan.

Ask yourself, “Do you want to create a record year for you and your team?”   If so, the momentum you build NOW leading into the holiday season will influence your year-end results and set you up for 2018!
