Today I have a blog post that might seem contrary to todays theme of #TalkingTuesday. The theme for today is that you start doing whatever it is you need to do to start and or continue on your journey. You have to learn that when you are actually engaging people in conversation, you must read the cues and start to learn how to close the deal or at the very least, gain their interest and intrigue. Talking is a necessary tool for success but you must start implementing actions with it so that you can begin to gather client’s and or customer’s.
Most people have a hard time transitioning from talking to doing so I have a couple of ideas to help you conquer this problem. The first idea is courage and the second idea is repetition.
Let me start with courage. You need courage in every aspect of life in order to move forward. We all suffer from some sort of fear and most of us live in our own little zone of comfort in order to avoid that fear. In order to venture out of the zone, we need to reach our inner strengths and muster up that courage to just do what needs to be done. I have read that there are only two forms of fear, the first is the fear of physical danger and the second is the fear that your ego is in danger. That fear of ego is the particular form of fear that I want to speak of because my blog posts are about being on a journey toward financial freedom and or your dreams. That being said, you have to begin expanding your comfort zone by taking baby steps. In other words, if you fear speaking to a room with one hundred people, start speaking to three or four people at a time and work your way up. Those little steps really help boosting your comfort levels. The second course of action to conquer your fears is to take action. You must just do it. A simplistic example is a swimming pool. You want to swim but when you dip your toe in, the water is freezing. Everyone is enjoying themselves and you too want to be part of the fun but you are afraid of how the cold water will shock your body and how uncomfortable the cold water will make you feel. However, you must stop talking about the water temperature and take action if you want to have fun with everyone else so, you take the leap and jump into the pool. It definitely shocks your body, it makes you uncomfortable and you are shivering but within a few minutes, your body begins to acclimate to the water temperature and before you know it, you too are now enjoying yourself. You must take action if you want to see results.
My second idea geared toward doing what needs to be done is repetition. It does not matter what area of life we discuss, repetition will always help you to succeed. Picture a student in school. They read their textbook for a given course but some how that one read through did not help them memorize the book. Why is this? The reason behind this is that they have to constantly read and reread that textbook until they commit to memory all necessary information. The only students who would be able to learn everything on one read through would be a student with an identic memory which are few and far between. The only way to learn and build courage is through repetition so make sure that you are constantly practicing and repeating behaviors which will build your inner strengths.
Therefore, the point of this blog post is to help you understand that even though #TalkingTuesday is an important tool to help you along your journeys path, you must start doing that which you speak of and that which you are trying build and grow. Start taking action and start doing.
I want to once again recommend the book Crushing It as it is a real booster for anyone needing that slight push forward. I have recommended this book previously and I suggest reading it again because as I have stated above, repetition in this form will help you commit necessary information to memory. If you have not read the book, please go borrow a copy from your local library or from a friend. If neither option is available, here is a link to get your own copy from Amazon>>> https://amzn.to/2OHJCFg
