LinkedIn Top Voice | INC 500 Winner | Founders: Spending too much time in sales? Feeling Founder overload? I can fix that without breaking the bank. I have been where you are now. Book an introductory call.
In America, about 300,000 kids play on high school basketball teams.
In college, that number goes down to. around 18,000.
Do you know how many make it to the pros??429.
That 0.0134%.
The same ratios are more or less true for baseball, football, tennis, and golf.??
Ridiculous odds of making it to the top.
Does everyone who studies physics win the Nobel Prize???
Does every salesperson become the top seller in their company?
Does every small business make the INC 500?
No, no, and no.
But that does not mean we don’t try.
If you’re a CEO or salesperson, you want to be number one in your industry or be the top seller.
But isn’t okay if along the way you have a great group of customers that are happy they learned about your company?
Isn’t okay if you make enough money to pay off your loans, send the kids to college, and take great vacations???
I think so.
The key is to have the mindset of a professional.??
Every day you must believe:
You’re playing in the super bowl, world series, or helping your customers succeed against problems they’re having.
To do this you need to turn pro in your mind.
To think and act like you’re on top.?Just like a top professional.
The legendary football coach Vince Lombardi said, "We chase perfection knowing we will never catch it.?But we may catch excellence along the way."
If you form good habits in your business and personal life and practice them daily with consistency, you will be a pro.?Guarantee it.??
So, here’s your Action Item this week and mission, should you decide to accept it:?Write down just one habit, that if practiced consistently will help you catch excellence and achieve whatever you want. Just one.
Small, incremental habits bring big results.
If you improve just 1% every day at something, in one year you will be 37 times better.
But you have to start.
Start today!
Turn pro.
You can absolutely do this.???
And if you need me to help, I got your back.?Reach out.
If you found this video helpful, and you haven’t already, please consider subscribing and sharing.?

Remember - One hand washes the other and together they get clean.
Have a rewarding week. See you next time.
