No Excuses!

We have all heard this, but how many of us live by it? If you are not doing anything about the current state of your life, you are obviously making excuses, to yourself and to others.

What is your excuse if you are not in shape?

What is your excuse if you are not in the best relationship?

What is your excuse if you are not making sales?  Your kids don’t listen, you drink too much, you hate you job, you are broke?

If you sat down long enough and really thought about it, it’s nobody’s fault but your own. You and you alone are responsible for the current state of your life; and guess what? Only you alone can do something about it. We all have only 24 hours in day, no one gets more.( My friend Brad thinks he gets more cause he works with people in 5 time zones!) If you want to get in shape, make the decision and do something about it. I have 3 kids and work 10-12 hours a day so I get up at 5 am and go to the gym, some days it’s the only time that I can do it. Want a better relationship, then work on improving you! You can’t change some one else with ease. Want to make more sales, do more prospecting and learn more about how to connect with your target audience.

Lastly and certainly not least, if you are struggling financially, then sit down and take stock of where you are right now. How much are you bringing in each month, what are your outgoing expenses and can you cut back, where can you add more value and increase your income? Think of everything. If you want help brainstorming idea’s feel free to give me a call. I look forward to hearing from you.

Live with a take charge attitude, take no prisoners and make no excuses!

Cheers,

Pat

One Hundred percent!

According to Wikipedia it means mathematically the entirety or all of something. Lot of people know it and say it but how many of us actually give 100%. By this I mean day in day out on a consistent basis. If this was the case, we would not be complaining that we need to loose 20 lbs, make more money or have a better relationship. However we live in a day and age where people are actually proud about how lazy they are, and go out of their way to do as little as possible. I admit that there are several things where I know I could do better, given the time and the effort. I even recently heard an advertisement of someone boasting about how they work about 15 minutes of solid work each day.

If you notice I did not say it meant perfection. What you should get from this is that you should give your all, every ounce of it. No trying, just doing as Yoda would say. Get prepared for your life to change for the better in every area. You finances, your health, your relationship will all improve by you giving 100%, instead of the normal half assed effort. I am not singling out anyone in particular. We are all guilty of that.

Take this as an example: As much as I am a fiercely proud Canadian, I must commend my neighbors to the south. When it comes to the big events the American’s really pull out all the stops and leave nothing on the table. Take the Olympic’s for example, typically in most major events the American’s are the one’s on top or the one’s to beat. They find a way to really step it up and give their 100%.

Now that you have gotten this far, you may be wondering how does this apply to the topics frequently discussed on this site. Well it comes down to this, I promise to give you a 100% effort to help you secure the financing required by you personally or for your business. If you want references, any of the people who have given testimonials on this site would be willing to vouch for me. As always feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you.
