Why Work? There’s No Business Out There!
Right now, April 30, 2020, because we’re dealing with the COVID-19 quarantine, it’s the perfect time for everyone in Sales and Management positions to take it easy and enjoy that well-earned rest you’ve been wanting.
OH NO! Did my fingers really type that pathetic squalor? My fingers should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves. I certainly hope my hands didn’t approve of what my fingers were doing. Now isn’t the time to sit back and take it easy. Now is the time to be creative, original, ambitious, aggressive, and forward thinking. Of course, it’s much easier to say, “I guess while I’m stuck at home I might as well just hang out here and relax. After all, I can’t make business happen when there’s no business out there.”
Is that ridiculous or what!? Even when business is booming you can’t make anything happen if you just sit there staring into oblivion and playing tiddlywinks by yourself. Wake up at 8 AM every morning, have breakfast, go straight to work and use that productive brain of yours. If you have a home office that’s exactly where you’ll go to work. If going to work means you’re sitting at the kitchen table or at the dinning room table or on the couch in the living room in front of the coffee table, so be it, that’s your work- station. You weren’t working part-time before the Coronavirus, you’re not a part-time worker now.
As a Manager you can be working on improving company systems, working on or developing an appraisal system, calling employees to check on them and possibly giving them doable assignments. If you’re in Sales you should be calling past, existing, and potential clients. Take advantage of this time to develop, innovate, improvise, and expand what you do and how you do it.
Do you believe you can’t work because there are little feet running around the house? I mean children, not rats. Once again, adapt, be creative, innovative. Keep the children busy so you can also be busy . . . busy at what you should be doing . . . working.
The Hall of Fame football coach, Vince Lombardi, said, "The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor."
If you’re a salesperson or manager, which your probably are, and aren’t working with a coach (trainer) you’re not quite the salesperson/manager you could be!
