What you’ll get:
Post Pandemic Productivity & Profitability
Daniel Burrus is considered one of the World’s Leading Futurists on Global Trends and Disruptive Innovation.
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.
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.
We want to start by reminding our audience that you can be certain of one thing, and you’re in total control of it: and that thing is YOU. There are other things that you can influence based on your words and actions, like your family, friends, business customers and your social footprint. But that’s it. You can’t even influence the guy walking down the street.
So get over what you’re wanting to do and deal with the reality of what’s going to happen as you walk out the door. Try to get back to normal and deal with the new normal. And focus on the things you can control instead of the things you can’t control.
So now we want to talk about a few things you can control and be aware of. These include:
Obviously, positive attitude is in there too, but I think that’s kind of a given.
Now, probably not everyone is certain that they’re in a place to check off all these boxes yet. Some people are going to need help getting to their personal best or taking that leadership position. After all, there is no pandemic handbook. No one’s lived through this before.
But here’s what we want you to do: think about that list and rate yourself for each of those categories. Where do you stand for each of those categories? Are you performing at your personal best? Are you acting as a leader? Are you adapting to the customer? And are you taking action every day on behalf of yourself?
Now, let’s discuss what things you need to be doing to recover more quickly than your competitors. Start by asking yourself, “What have I been doing that’s going to help you recover in a way that your competitors aren’t ready for?”
Then, consider other questions like:
And along the way, don’t forget to consider how cool it is to be able to see it from your home and connect with anyone in the world anywhere through your computer. Think about how many more contacts you can make, how many more prospects you can meet with because you’re not wasting time getting in your car, trying to get there and then wasting time in between the appointments.
If you’re feeling stressed at just the idea of trying to adapt your business to the “new normal,” you need to hear more about one of Jeffery’s new courses, The New Normal.
Because once quarantine has ended and everything has started to go back to normal, everyone’s going to know that they have to sell something. But the reality is not everybody is going to be ready to buy something. So you’re going to have to deal with a new reality as a salesperson or an entrepreneur and find the answers to questions like:
There’s gonna be three people that emerge from this pandemic: winners, watchers and whiners. And you have to define which one you’re going to be. You’ve already been a watcher. You’ve probably watched more crap on Netflix than you can even remember.
Now, it’s time to emerge with information that people can use immediately. And that’s what this course is all about: helping people understand how to win. So that when you get out there and you put the course into action, you can win or you will win.
I know that this pandemic has been a big time of uncertainty for all of us, and you may be struggling with not feeling in control. But now is the time to lace up your boots a little bit tighter and get ready to not hit the road, but to hit the video screen, Facebook, Zoom, whatever, and establish a new normal where instead of making one call a day while flying to Dallas, you can make 20 calls online in video before noontime.
