Attention vs Intention - master self management (not time management)

You'll keep losing if you don't figure this out

Get Sales, Leadership and Mindset Tips that help you Live Better & Sell Better right in your inbox - all in under 5 minutes every single weekend.

If I could give any advice that I think would have the biggest impact on your sales results (and maybe even life).

It would be this.

Do ONE thing at a time with full intention.

When you're calling.

JUST call. 10 in a row. In bursts.

When you're emailing. JUST email.

Knock them all out in a row.

Check just 3-4 times total per day.

When you're demo'ing - JUST demo.

Be in it. 100%. Listen.

Bring emotion.

Remember even if you've done it 100 times, it's the first time for them.

When you're researching leads - JUST research. Move fast. Lead to lead.

No slack. No email.

Just get it done.

When you're with your significant other, kids, friends, etc. JUST be there.

100% intention. Bring joy, energy, and focus.

I've told my managers and team before. that 10 min of full INTENTION is better than an hour of ATTENTION.

Our inability to just do one thing at a time is killing us.

You can get so much more done and get it done better when you live this way.

Plan for it. Then execute it. One. Thing. At. A. Time Full intention.

You with me on this?

Self Management 101

Time management is a very important part of how you manage your day/week/month/year.

It’s the difference between missing small and missing big.

Here are some tips for you to get this on lock:

  1. Read the book "Train Your Brain” by Robert Seip. Low key one of the most underrated books you’ll ever read on this topic

  2. Understand the benefits of The 2-Hour Solution (my full 36-minute training on this topic can be found in my Sales Leadership Accelerator Membership). The 2-Hour Solution actually gives you 10 hours back (and then some if you get it right)

  3. Operate in bursts and keep your bursts task-specific.

  4. Time block things ahead of time and color code your calendar. Then run a time-audit to see where you’re spending time. Cut, Iterate and execute. Then repeat this exercise every month.

  5. Learn to prioritize. Not everything is important or urgent. Focus on the right activities so you’re getting the most out of your time and learn to delegate what you can and ignore what you can. THIS is the hardest thing to do IMO.

Speaking of time - think we’re up on the 5 minute read I promise our readers every single weekend.
