The cure to getting your butt whipped by the competition is to WORK HARDER.
6PM...Any given weekday. Where are you? Racing to happy hour? Turning your cell phone off?
5AM...Any given weekday. Where are you? Fast asleep? Watching the "news"?
8PM...Any given weekday. What are you doing? Watching "reality tv"?
Is it any surprise your competition is mopping the floor with you, Chief?
Top performers are using every waking moment to improve and to become better than YOU.
Do you read books about your trade or industry? Business management? Sales & marketing?
Are you a member of and attend regular meetings of trade associations? (Associated General Contractors? Home Builder Association? Etc...)
Are you getting regular exercise & watching your diet? Do you belong to a gym?
Are you networking with other professionals via civic groups & social media?
If the answers to the above questions are "NO"...There's a good chance your business is getting stale.
How in the world are you going to grow your business and your status in the industry staring at the boob tube, aimlessly watching bad news and garbage known as sitcoms?
The choice is yours. But you can bet your sweet bippy that the company you are losing business to is choosing to invest their time & energy becoming better professionally & mentally.
Business books, gym memberships, association dues and business social media are all cheap or free. So...The only real investment you need to make to become better than your competition is your TIME.
Try investing time & effort in growing professionally for the next 30 days. Report back to me the results of your new efforts and I will include them in a future Hard Hat Society blog.
