3 Ways to be Impeccable
Being impeccable with everything you do; your words and your actions builds your confidence and gains trust from the people in your life.
The most successful sales reps, in my experience, are the ones who follow through. They are the ones that say they are going to do something and actually do it, no matter how small or big. The ones that are not successful are the ones who have big lofty goals, but would never follow up or follow through on any of those goals.
Hold yourself accountable in everything that you do, especially when no one else is watching you because that's where you're likely to slip up most.
You know that no one will notice you didn't make your bed, or that you didn’t rinse your mug or put it in the dishwasher so then it doesn't matter right? The problem is by not doing it, you are not showing up for yourself. That is going to lower your self-confidence.
Time is a non-renewable resource. If someone steals money from you, you can make more, but if someone steals your time, you can’t make more. Leave earlier, show up, and don’t insult people by being late. Using the traffic as an excuse is just an excuse to yourself for not being impeccable.People want to be with people they trust, even if it is just trusting you to be on time.
Don't commit yourself to anything unless you are sure that you are going to be there 100%. This is way better than continually being the first one to say yes under pressure and always being the first one to back out or cancel.
People stop asking and counting on you to be there and show up.
Three Ways To Help You Be Impeccable
1. Integrity
This includes inner and outer integrity.
You know how much integrity you have or want but do you know what integrity other people perceive you to have?
People want those around them to have integrity, be honest and good, with the right morals, who treats them well.
Being late, not showing up at all, shows a lack of integrity.
2. Reliability
We all know what it feels like to be let down by someone. Someone only has to let you down several times before they are the last person you will call in a moment of need. Once again, be reliable and show up,
3. Respect
Everybody wants and deserves to be respected. Treat other people the way that you would like to be treated. Having respect for all those around you, no matter what their position in life will allow you to have more respect for yourself and keep your integrity in place.
When you realize that the most important person in your life is you and that you are the one that you're supposed to be focusing on, and you're the one you're supposed to be taken care of. You take care of yourself. You will become a better person. You'll become a better parent. You will ultimately impact every single person who is in your sphere of influence.
And that is where everything starts to change. But it comes down to realizing that you have to start being impeccable with doing what you say you're going to do is showing up on time with taking the actions that you need to, because the way you do one thing is the way do everything. And your relationships with other people matter in relationships with yourself, matter as well.
But you've got to start looking through everything that you do and ask yourself, how can I be more impeccable with every single thing that I do? And it comes down to the three things that I said, integrity, reliability, and respect
If you want to change yourself, you're going to have to think about your standards, how impeccable you are with your words, with your actions, with yourself, and with other people.
