Hi,
It's been a
really crazy time around here. I've been doing a lot of traveling,
from a training in Las Vegas to visiting family in Houston and
Minneapolis to attending my brother's wedding in Norfolk, VA and my
cousin's graduation in Portland, OR.
At the same time, I've been
transitioning my business so that I can offer you the Focused
Business Action program at a greatly reduced price. I've had to
really work hard to keep focused on my business while enjoying
hanging out with family I don't see all that often.
Luckily I have many strategies at my disposal including the one below to help me remember where I put
things and what I want to accomplish.
Warmly,
Scott
P.S I've got a special offer at the
bottom of this newsletter for those who want to get into action right
away to grow their business. Details are below.
P.P.S. Welcome to all the new readers
who just joined from my old subscriber list! You're going to love
the resources you'll find here to help you build your business.
Enjoy!
Stop Losing Stuff
Do you often forget where you put things down?
Do you then waste lots of time looking for them?
For many of us life is full and can be one big blur.
-
You're not aware of where you
put your keys down on the way in the door to your home or
office.
-
On your way out the door for lunch,
you're thinking more about where you're going to eat then
where you just laid down that important contract.
-
At the end of the day you're tired and have no desire to
think any more about work. You leave without writing down where you
left off, and as a result, the next morning have no idea what to
start off with.
Here's a simple strategy I picked up as part of the wedding of
my first marriage. Even though the marriage wasn't so successful, I
did learn a ton. One of my favorite lessons I found in
The
Groom's Survival Manual
The whole wedding thing has a way of getting out of hand, and the
book really helps a groom to...well, survive the whole hoopla. I just
gave a copy to my brother who is getting married this weekend (Congrats, Jeff). Anyway, I
digress. The book suggests that you take a mental snapshot of the
moments you want to remember during your wedding and the accompanying
hoopla. Otherwise, the whole weekend goes by in a blur and that's
how you remember it.
The first step in learning to remember
things is to learn to pay attention. As you set down your car keys,
look for a moment at the top of the kitchen counter where you're
putting them, and take notice of them there. When people can't
remember things, it's most often because they failed to pay attention
in the first place. This sounds self-evident, but it's really a
powerful technique. If your attention wanders in a meeting and you
feel you might "misplace" an idea or topic, ask for it to be
repeated.
The next time you want to remember where you put something, take a
mental snapshot of it. Blink your eyes (like Samantha from
Bewitched)
and take a "mindshot". You'll be amazed at how well the image
sticks in your memory allowing you to remember where you left the
important item.
