A Slump Is The Same As A Dip

One of my great clients e-mailed me with these two questions;

• How do I get out of a slump?
• How do I get back in the groove?

Given that it is my understanding that you are in the middle of a campaign and it would be safe to say that you are exceeding your goals and burning the candle at both ends.

It is time to take some quite time and write out the list of the sales that you made, write out the difference that you made for your clients and write out how this made you feel.

This simple exercise will re-inspire you because all of your energy has been going out and you need to a little time to put some energy back in the tank to inspire yourself.

The reason that I say write it is this; I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand. – Confucius

Every business requires an investment to re-charge the energy ever once in a while.

It is what Seth Godin talks about in The Dip and what Stephen Pressfield talks about in The War Of Art … in short, there will be ups and downs, there will be fear and avoid resistance at all costs.

Sometimes you have to go through The Dip and have a bigger Vision like Spencer Johnson talks about in Peaks & Valleys … if one doesn’t have a big Vision then one will be stuck in the Valley of fear.

Dear All,

I’ve been shortlisted for Advisor.ca’s ‘Name That Visionary Contest’: Who are the Top 10 leaders in the industry today?

Round One is over and the candidates have been narrowed down to 20 entries.

The next step is to vote for the top ten entries and you can do this by clicking here;

There are two ways I could have played this:

1. Pretending to be a shy and demure Canadian, because that is what Canadians do, in the hope that people will vote anyway – “I don’t take part in these celebrity competitions because it’s beneath me”
2. Bold, outrageous and provocative – “asking for the business” – vote for me because I love the exposure!

Another reason that I am doing this is to demonstrate the power of E-Nurture Marketing as you are a reader of my E-Newsletter and we were initially introduced through speaking or via the internet.

Honestly, it would cost tens of thousands to receive the exposure that this contest can create.

So I’m asking for your help.

The next step is to vote for the top ten entries and you can do this by clicking here and PLEASE VOTE FOR ME;

 Again, why am I asking?

• The exposure is absolutely great for my professional career development
• The publicity is a vindication for all the hard work done with clients and the philosophy and ideas that we share in these and other pages
• The encouragement to me to keep fighting the fight for quality career and independent financial advisors
• My coaches and mentors all get to take a break as my unmet need of recognition is satisfied
• You will have to spend a few minutes thinking about your personal Top 10 leaders in the industry today
