December 31, 2013 & Dealing With The Same Clients, Products And Services?

I am sure that you have heard that it rarely snows on the south west coast of Canada – Here’s an 8pm, Wednesday December 17, 2008 photo after a few hours of shovelling it. It’s 6am Thursday morning and we have no electricity so it’s coaching by candle light … thank goodness for my laptop and an Aircard.

Here’s an excerpt from my December 2008 Newsletter…

Imagine that it is December 31, 2009 and you are looking back at the year. Ask yourself the following questions and write down your answers: What did you accomplish? What goals did you set and achieve? What made you happy? These questions can be asked in all of the following categories:

• Personal – consider education, fitness, travel, income, relationships and your own sense of well being.
• Business – think about your vision, administration and office or computer systems, finances, marketing, office management, production, products, sales, your team and training.

How will it make you feel to have achieved all of these accomplishments by December 31, 2009?

Now, imagine that it is five years into the future, December 31, 2013 and that you are dealing with exactly the same clients, products and service that you are now.

How does that make you feel?

Change doesn’t fail because it is too early; change fails because it is too late.
