Ask yourself: what would have to happen for me to reach this goal in 1/10 of the time?

Spoiler: it’s not 10x harder, it’s just a different path.

Questions I’ve asked myself this week:
Imagine if you actually worked every minute you sat at your desk “working”.. How much more productive you’d be..
How much more free time you’d have..
#productivity
Don't sleep on cross-sells and up-sells
They're a surefire way to boost your total order value
Create a list for each and use it when selling
Clearly define the additional service/add-on and its benefits
And the total order value 📈
#sales#increaserevenue
Turn convos into 💰💰
(This is primarily for #agencies / #creatives)
Show spec work
Aka, give sneak peaks of what it'd be like to work with you
Video/photo story/mood boards
Social feed mock ups
Design mock ups
Risk? They may grab&run
Worth it? The increased conversion, yes
As much as constant phone/email checks kill productivity, we're still human and get FOMO. You can have a balanced day by scheduling in breaks & setting timers for deep work & phone/email checks. My go to is 2 hours of deep work & 15 min breaks. #productivitytips#timemanagement
Here’s how you’re loosing out on your potential:
You don’t have a place to dump your thoughts
You likely think of them & just keep going about your day
Solution: Have a note called “ideas”
Dump all thoughts here
End of each day, distribute into actionable steps w/ due dates
You suck at some things
That’s ok, everybody does
The fix:
1 Identify what you suck at
2 Note all the reasons why you suck at this thing
3 Note all things you can do to not suck anymore
4 Focus on fixing the one thing that’ll make all other things easier or unnecessary to fix
It's the most opportunistic time of our generation💰💰💰
I know it's easy to get caught up in the stress of a recession, but there are so many opportunities right now.
Lots of wins for anyone who has cash set aside to buy undervalued assets because of the reduced demand.
#1 way to reduce the amount I'm affected by negative situations:
➡️I remind myself that everything in life is relative & that it could be worse.
✅By doing that, it humbles you, & you can refocus on what's important as fast as possible.

Upset?
Remember:
Life's a rollercoaster.
There's ups, there's down
It's inevitable.
Without the downs, we wouldn't feel the ups.
Make the best of every situation, regardless of your circumstances.
This is how you win. #mindsetiseverything
