Do you know all the players on your team?
March 17, 2008
I don’t know how I missed it at the theatre but this weekend I watched Akeelah and The Bee. (I am a HUGE movie buff for those movies that do not win Best Picture of the Year:)) There is a scene where Akeelha’s tutor, Dr. Larabee, tells her he has done all he can do to help her prepare for the bee. She protests insisting that she cannot possibly go on much less win the bee without him. He sends her away with "tools" – 5000 extra words to learn and reminds her that there are many people who can help her. Not only are there many people now but that there always has been….they are there if you look. As she goes back to prepare she realizes that truly there are many people who can help her…….and more importantly, want to help her succeed and that believe that she will. You will have to rent the movie and see what happens…….
But for today, I ask you…….what tools do you have and who do you know that would be glad to help you if you only let them know what you are trying to achieve? Who doesn’t want to help someone who is following their dream, their passion and stretching themselves to succeed in areas where they have not done so before? I want to be on that persons team….dont’ you??!!
Look around….who are two people you can engage as "success team players" this week? Ask today!
Also, when was the last time you kept a list of everything you wanted to do – business and personal?..I used to keep one on the refrigerator for ever….not sure why I stopped after I achieved those things..
Check out www.43things.com ……make your list this week too……set the intention for what you want today, tomorrow, next year…and keep adding to it……then, look around one more time and pay attention to who is right in front of you that would probably LOVE to help you achieve those things and more.
Check out the New Traveler Tips exercise on page 84 of The Field Guide To Sales…..create your list of 250 this week!
