Today I got week five off to a good start and a sad start all at once. I set my goals high and finally found my motivation. Marie had tried in vain to help me figure out what motivates me during our personal conference Sunday and left it to me when the PC was over.
My motivation comes from a verse that I've been meditating on recently -- Colossians 3:23. The verse is, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as you're working for the Lord, not for men." Yeah, that solved that lack of motivation issue pretty quickly. Luckily, I had a taped sermon in my car that discussed that verse and others like it for a good 40 minutes. I played that tape over and over all day today, which was positive. I'll probably have it memorized at some point.
OK, as for my first day...
The day was great in terms of attitude and effort level. It was also fairly good (for me) in terms of customers and reaching new firsts. I didn't reach a few of my goals though. I wanted to get 25 strong units every day this week, but today I only got 5. I also wanted to get 12 sit-downs every day this week, because I haven't gotten 12 sits yet, but I only got 11 today.
My firsts were --
11 sits
Selling two handbooks at once
Selling three handbooks at once
Completely ignoring the fact that I had weak customers (meaning I was unsatisfied) and still driving forward toward the 25 strong units that I wanted.
That's awesome that you're motivated to strive for you goals. It just goes to show how essential daily prayer is.
