20091What are your dreams?

I had reached a point of not dreaming anymore. I was good at making task list and prioritizing things that needed to be done, but not dreaming.

My wife and I have been together since 1981. She has always said that she feel in love with a dreamer. The last four years have been very rough, and in that process I stopped dreaming.

Don’t let your past experiences stop your dreams!

Dream BIG for 2009.

THE CHALLENGE!

I have a challenge for you! Sit down and get a piece of paper and a pen out and write your dreams out. An easy way to do it is to look at the different areas of your life. What are your dreams for your Faith, Family, Friends, Career, etc….
Let your mind wonder… What does that new job look like? What does having more FREE time with your family look like? What will you do? What will that dream car look and feel like?

I think you get the idea.

DREAM BIG!

We did a simple survey on our website that asked the question, “As a Christian business owner, what is your number 1 business challenge?”

Here is what our survey results, so far.

As a Christian business owner, what is your number 1 business challenge?
Leadership/ Management Skills     22%

 

Time Management     17%

 

Finances     11%

 

Sales     50%

 
 

Sales came in #1 at 50%. So let’s talk about sales and why is it a challenge??

I had a sales manager that used to challenge me and ask me, what do you need

to sale today? 

I responded with, “what do you mean?”. 

What happened next changed my life as a salesman!

GOAL SETTING!

What are your sales goal? 

What is your quota? Quota is the minimal amount.  

What is your goal? What are you aiming at?

In order to hit this goal you should break it down to the ridiculous. 

Break it down to the month, week, day, and even hour. 

If you know what your close rate is and your average sale, then you should know

that if you call on X number of clients you should sell X amount.

Example: 

Goal – $100,000.00

Time – 4 months

Close rate of – 50%

Average sale – $500.00

$100,000 =

$25,000.00 per month

$6250.00 per week

$1250.00 per day

2.5 sales per day

5 sales calls per day 

This is the way you set a goal and the way you can break it down to the ridiculous.

If you are having a challenge in the area of sales I suggest you try this, you don’t

have anything to lose.

If you would like to hear a dynamic teaching from a seasoned sales professional

then listen to this Tele-Seminar on Sales.

Be On-Purpose

One of my favorite books is called, “The On-Purpose Person” written by Kevin McCarthy.

This little book is only 144 pages, but it is awesome. 

What is being On-Purpose?

Being On-Purpose shows you how to discover and accomplish what’s most important to you!

I first found this little book in 2003. This books helps you address the major areas of your life. In this book Kevin has you do a tournament worksheet for each area of your life such as Spiritual, Family, Vocation, Finances, and so on. 

In 2003 my # 1 priority was my relationship with God. My goal was to have a A.M. and P.M. prayer and study time.  My # 2 goal was to be my own boss and start a business. My # 3 goal was to be debt free by 2007. My # 4 goal was to work my little farm and have a garden.  The list went covered 10 areas. 

Here is the really neat part! In 2006 I found my notes and re-did my tournaments. It was interesting to see how life had changed.  My # 1 goal was still to have A.M. and P.M. prayer and study time.  My #  2 goal was to lose weight (My original # 2 goal of starting my own business became a reality in August of 2004) by diet and exercise.  My # 3 goal was to have family reading time before the kids went to bed. My # 4 goal was to improve my business by creating new streams on income when the weather was bad. I had a business working outside.

When you can plan on paper what is important to you and your family, have a plan to make it happen, and then be able to look back and see that it happened.

THAT IS BEING ON-PURPOSE!

Kevin McCarthy author \

I was so impressed by this book and the author that we recently had a Tele-Seminar with Kevin McCarthy on the topic of Service.  It was a great interview and would be well worth your time to listen to it.
