Edition 372 Monday 27/03/17
Hi,so much for rituals not even my lucky bits and pieces
could save me this time as I finished a dusty third behind better speakers on
the day.Crikey it was amazing I even made it having to set off at sparrows from
our overseas training camp on beautiful Waiheke Island.There were challenges
even getting out the door and down the hill in the dark to the first Ferry off
the island!!All I can say is thank goodness for the ‘Team Jones’ support of my
beautiful wife Christine who kept me calm, found my lucky underpants,cut my
hair, sewed a button on my trousers made me a coffee and 2x crumpets and got me
to the boat on time!!
Regardless of the result the only thing that really matters
is my family!!

reckons he could have helped out with some last minute speaking tips
if he had been awake but after briefly stirring he thought I had it covered and
opted for more zzzz
As mentioned above we have been lured overseas back to the
magic that is Waiheke. We adore the island feel and always manage to kick back
and relax totally on ‘island time’.
We plan to keep enjoying the opportunity to take regular time
out together in this amazing marine environment where you cant help but cut the
motor and let the breeze take you!!
I hope you are also changing down when you need to, have a
good one…..cheers Jonesey.

in the scheme of things! L

Crikey I have been encouraged in recent weeks with the things
I have put in place.
I have never had so many self generated opportunities to work
on.
Whilst that is great I am now struggling to stay on top of
the workload (go figure!).
Generating more leads is great but what about all the normal
day to day tasks?
I am finding it hard to stay on top without it all becoming a
little overwhelming.
Some of my follow up has been delayed and tardy as a result
which bugs me.
Time to get better organised,in fact highly organised and
battlefield strategic
I have had to block off pockets of time and commit them to
getting specific tasks done.
This means not answering emails or phone calls as they come
in (thieves of time).
As mentioned in previous episodes focusing on a set number of
daily tasks and staying on them until they are done is the key.Following up on
opportunities and diarying these for further follow up once cards are dealt.
The discipline aspect is huge, drift and the day is gone,weaken
and the chances are lost!
Its not easy,if it was then everyone would be a sales
success.In fact it is so tough that only a small % make it to the top in this
profession.
So what are the secrets I can share based on my recent trials
and tribulations?
Prioritise short sharp daily task lists and block out time to
get them ticked off, keep it simple and on track without getting
overwhelmed….small steps.
It is easy to get and feel overwhelmed,it is important to
accept that you wont get everything done every day so get over that and you
will be half way there.
Above all else you must enjoy and have fun doing what you
do….or why do it?...Good luck!!

is never an accident,it is always the result of a commitment to excellence
