Process

How is your life and business being impacted by the decisions you're NOT making?

Imagine a table in front of you.  On it are all the decisions you know you should make.  Some are large, some are small.  Some could have a profound impact on your business or your life if you would act on them, others are relatively insignificant.  Some are fresh surfaced, and some have been waiting for your final call for a very long time.  This exercise will help you sort these decisions out and put you in a better position to jump off the fence.

"Stretch goals change behavior."

This was a quote shared with me by an Inner Circle franchise owner, in reference to a Member who set a near impossible Action Item to achieve before his next month's Circle meeting.  When asked why he set such an agressive goal, he stated "stretch goals change behavior."

A major insight from Inner Circle#45 this past week, is that if you want to succeed at something (rolling out a new product line, adding a new sales person, setting up metrics to measure success, it really doesn't matter what) you have to put effort into allowing those involved to succeed. Adding a product line and just giving the sales force some brochures and telling to go sell, just won't cut it. Likewise with adding a new sales person. Giving him a territory and briefcase and pointing him at the door or phone will get you failure rather quickly.
