I've been out of town for a week and I'm headed back out tomorrow. Only a day and a half to get caught up and organized. But since my last trip resulted in a gain of five very unwanted pounds (yes - it was a cruise and no - I don't have any self control) I decided I needed to get out on my bike this morning.
Of course, it was raining. But I don't like to go to the gym. I only like to pay them money every month. Biking is what I like to do. I figured a little rain won't hurt so I just turned up the ipod and tried to burn a few calories.
Why am I telling you this? Well, it's because we have opportunities every day to market and put ourselves out there, but usually we find plenty of excuses to NOT do it. Too much to do in the office. I don't feel well. The Realtor won't be there. It's raining.
What if you did it anyway? I feel about 100% better than I did before my ride. I'm motivated to get as much done as I can today and life feels good. I may even go to the gym later. Now that's a miracle. You may feel like doing MORE marketing after you get over the hump of doing something you just didn't feel like. It's actually a very motivating thing.... pushing yourself and feeling that sense of accomplishment.
So get out there. Push yourself to do something you've been keeping on the back burner. You'll feel great!
Invariably, it is when I reluctantly call on that one last office, a lead results. You would think I would learn from that. It does give a lot of motivation though, because when you leave that office, you are pumped.
