When your world catches fire, do this
|
You cannot help it. You pay yourself last. You are the last monkey in the queue. ​ Don’t believe it? ​ Well… let’s check. ​ You have your day planned out. You're going to be strict and responsible. You’re going to do what you're supposed to do and not get sidetracked. You’re going to have a proper breakfast, hit the gym, work without allowing interruptions. You’re going to leave at a certain time, and come home without looking at your phone until the next day, but... ​ You check your phone. 3 unexpected emails, 5 notifications… ​ The message from your boss, or a client. A new presentation to be delivered tomorrow. The guy that was going to help you is sick. The other lady you were expecting to review her job didn’t have the time to delivered it. ​ You cancel the gym. Start working from home with just a sip of coffee and leave two hours late. Work, work and work and cling to your phone until bedtime, which, of course, is three hours later than it should be. ​ You tell yourself silly things like you'll sleep tomorrow or that you need some time to unwind… ​ ​ Your discipline is weaker than the ideals of a politicians in front of their donners. ​ ​ Just a small piece of advice that you didn’t ask for. ​ Next time that someone call you with something urgent use one of these two techniques:
​ That’s your statement of intent. ​ And if you think that your boss or your client will fire you… you’re wrong. Nothing that send more authority to and calm more the other than knowing that you are busy and working hard. ​ So, next time that your world catches fire, remember: you can’t come right now. ​ For more tips, just join my mentorship in the link below: ​Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Last year, kindercare official picture, Christmas party with kids and family, strawberry picking, etc. This year, nothing. Last year, a competent person. This year, someone less so… or with less time… or with more excuses. No matter your contract. Your organization chart. Your incentives. Your whatever. People continue to be the key for success. Still companies squeeze to the bone salaries and benefits, and treat people like commodities… And honestly, they are not. At least, not yet… who...
I signed the contract on Monday. On Wednesday, I received a welcome email – I’m your personal property manager. Next day – Mail. We are talking care of connecting utilities. Later mail: Done! Next day – Mail: We are ordering the mattresses and the repairs as discussed during our meeting on the apartments. Early following week – Mail: We have listed the apartments. End of the week – Mail: We have conducted visits and we have received applications. We are doing our checks and will let you know...
Just yesterday, I had an interesting call. “What should I do if these guys are “locos”? Translated: What to do with a client that it’s not engaging? That’s a hard one. Let’s get more information: “Are they experienced?” “No” “Are they empowered?” “No” “Have they been instructed to give you nuts?” “Maybe” “Warm… Have you asked why **** is so important for them?” “No” “Warmer… Have you had recently a coffee or conversation with their bosses?” “No” “Ummm… let’s prepare an action plan” You can...
