As you know - there are a whole lot of talkers out there. But when all is said and done it's the DOERS that make it happen. I know that you've seen them before - the guy in the next office who always talks about how great he is, how many people he knows, and always has a way to let you know that he knows more than you. Who cares...
The truly successful people - the people that stand out in the crowd - are those that actually get it done. It doesn't matter what that guy does or doesn't do. What matters is what YOU do. That guy lives in his own world and it doesn't matter how successful you are, he will always find a way to put you down to make himself better. In the end its important that you are continually becoming better at what YOU do.
I find that there are times when I get a little lazy and start forgetting the steps that it takes to make things happen. For instance, when I was in sales I would get into moods where I didn't want to make the cold calls that I needed to make and then wonder why my sales were dropping.
Now that I'm an Executive at my place of business I find that sometimes I get distracted by whats going on in the office and I am not focused on my work or what I need to do to take my company to the next level. When it really comes down to it I am responsible for helping the company move forward. What I do affects the direction of the company. So, I need to PERFORM. I need to make it happen.
The moral of the story is - check in with yourself every once in a while. Are you doing what you're supposed to be doing? (don't lie)
Challenge yourself to be better!
