Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread

Christian Based Selling

We need to wake each day excited about what we can accomplish with the right attitude.  Yes, we need to get enough sleep to be well rested to be at our best.  However, if we are slow to rise chances are we have allowed ourselves to become overwhelmed with challenging circumstances.  

As professional sales people we influence the outcome of our deals but we cannot control what happens in the end.  While we do not have direct control over our clients' decisions, we can control how we approach each day in terms of our optimism and willingness to make the most of the day.  

Time is our most precious and limited resource.  If you're hitting snooze when you have had sufficient sleep then it is time to examine your heart.  Each hour of each business day represents opportunity.   Whether or not we capitalize on that opportunity depends on our willingness to approach our work with energy and passion! 

What time is your alarm set for?  Are you making calls to catch your primary targets before 8:30 am?   
​
Challenge: make a list today of the top 15 to 20 people that you would like to reach.  Tomorrow morning start dialing at 7:40 am while having your morning coffee or breakfast.  Have no expectation other than feeling good about starting your day in such an ambitious manner.
