Recipe for my success and proud of it
I start my day with a protein drink, hit the office gym for weights 3-4 days a week at about 7:30 for 30 minutes. Cardio is done 3 nights a week and Saturday and Sunday and when on vacation too. I also, mix in my version of YOGA which is a stretching regimen, almost daily, for 10-15 minutes (twice a day). Golf is also a summertime 3 day a week gig.
Now, if you do not like what you do, none of the above will keep you pumped up. If so, get a new job. I get as much joy from closing a $250K vehicle or equipment transaction as I did playing lacrosse in college. In short, like what you do and spin that passion into a game, mission, and regimen. That takes me to where I set goals annually. Some call me insane. Probably am-a bit, but I laugh a lot. Here is the insanity. Actually, I record all workouts from AB work, to my cardio, cycling, rowing, treadmill and arm work. Also, I continually set monthly and annual work out and sales goals. Adjustments seem to be always happening. That is called stay in the game. I am always chasing a workout or a transaction. I only think of what is next, never what was (unless there was a lesson to be learned), and how do I get there? Then, that is the next game recipe to succeed in whatever your goal is.
NO, I am not quitting anytime soon. Always looking for the next transaction, next vendor program, or new piece of equipment for the office or home gym.
I will sign off with this. When I started in biz, there were 40000 banks in the US. Now, there is probably about 4000 +/-. I wish I had a $1.00 for everyone that said “I would not make it”. They are gone and I am here. HAHA
My wife Eileen, is my best cheerleader and I greatly appreciate her support. Today, I got here at 7, did 30 minutes of strength training, did a few transactions, handled a few PR missions, and now home for cardio and stretching.
Happy selling. Feel great about what you do; or, find something else that gets you pumped.
