The New York Times has referred to him as one of the top three business gurus in the highest demand as a speaker. In this episode we
discuss the coronavirus pandemic and how it impacts you.

GOOD. BETTER. BEST.

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

Are you the best at what you do?

Everyone wants success, but very few achieve the success they dream about.


This personal challenge e-book describes the personal evolution necessary to become a super-star.

Regardless of the challenging year it’s been, there is always a positive.

We want you to ask yourself, what is one thing you did this year that inspired you the most? Think about the top sale you made or a new relationship you built. What is one thing you are most proud of? You’re not going to be able to think of just one thing, it is going to end up being probably two or three things. It could be something virtual you did or it could be related to your sales. When you have that one thing, start to put it into perspective and show yourself how it impacted your life. 

We get it, this year has not been easy and it might have been full of challenges. You may have been stifled by your lack of freedom, but good things have happened in the midst of all that. We challenge you to document what good things have happened this past year so you can begin to create your plan for 2021. Everything happens for a reason, no matter how bad they are. You just have to think about the lessons and opportunities you

The One Thing

Why you need to put yourself first as you enter 2021.

When you are creating your list of good things you recognize happening in 2020, we want you to think about how you are going to put yourself first. For Jeffrey, his moment that had an impact this year was his high school reunion. It got canceled due to covid-19 and they decided to do it on Zoom. Because of this one Zoom instance, they now participate in weekly Zoom calls. This allowed him to reunite with old friends that he grew up with and challenge each other. It was very nostalgic for him and it’s the one thing he is thankful for that came out of 2020. He plans to now continue those relationships going into 2021. 

Now that you have started thinking about your one thing from 2020, we want you to think about one thing for 2021. It can be your one sales thing, your one reading thing, your one personal development thing, your one family thing, etc… Plan your 2021 and make it an intention to do things next year that will catapult you into a different category for your one thing. 

The Importance of Reflection to Create Your 2021 Plan: The Bottomline

Put yourself out there, and do things that are going to make you and your sales better. Look back on 2020 and remember the good times. Bring that one thing into 2021 with you to make it the best year. If you are having trouble thinking of that one thing, start with your health because a healthier you means a better you. We want to challenge you to think about all the good things that have happened to you this year. We wish you all a happy healthy and safe New Year.
