Preparation Today - Gives Success Tomorrow
February 23rd, 2010Preparation Today will lead to your success tomorrow!
Post by Sam Collins
It has taken me a long time to realize that most of us accept our lives, rather than lead our lives. Why? Because the path of least resistance is always the easiest to take. But, unfortunately, we all don’t get a second chance at success.
If you are proactive, you focus on preparing. If you’re reactive you focus on repairing.
- you don’t make decisions because they are easy
- you don’t make decisions because they are cheap
- you don’t make decision because they are the most popular
Begin to make your life better by determining to make good decisions. Begin by narrowing down areas that will make you successful.
- Attitude; reveal the right attitude daily
- Priorties; act on the most important daily
- Health; follow healthy habit daily
- Family; put it at the top of your list, daily
- Think; set aside 5-10 minutes daily
- Commit; keep your commitments
- Finances; manage your daily
- Faith; have faith in something daily
- Relationship; build solid foundations daily
- Generosity; plan on giving back daily
- Values; practice good values daily
- Growth; seek to improve yourself daily.
If you can work on these 12 daily dozen and decide explicitly you will act in the right direction, then you can be successful!
Remember, keep moving forward to stay ahead in reverse.

What makes a winner?
February 22nd, 2010What makes a winner?
post by Sam Collins
I had just pulled up to the parking lot to meet my friend. We had volunteered to do some chores at the soccer club. We were the first to arrive. It was a cold and rainy day. As we sat in our warm vehicle, a car pulled up and a young lady, with soccer ball ran onto the field.
Both my friend and I watched as the young lady went through self motivated drills. She was juggling the ball, doing sit ups, crunches, and overall putting herself through the ropes.
My curiosity eventually got the best of me. I got out of my car and went to find out more about this motivated young lady. I introduced myself and told her how impressed I was with her and I wanted to know more. She went on to tell me, she was home for a break and played women’s soccer for Yale. She was working out to keep in shape and keep touching the soccer ball in order to great ready for a big game. Wow!
Now I was motivated! If only I could get my soccer team to have such an explosive and dedicated work ethic. If there was only some way to make that happen?
I had no clue what the women’s Yale soccer record was that year. I just knew I met a winner. You too can be a winner if you dedicate yourself to be the best you can possibly be!
So what does it take to be a winner on the “Hometown” RM team:
1. You must be a self starter
2. Make up your mind to stay in the game
3. Be a team player
4. Don’t be afraid to step onto the field that others won’t tread
5. Set the benchmark for your success and don’t care what others think
6. Work hard - but- work smart
No doubt many of you are winners now. But remember, being a winner today does not necessarily mean tomorrow is a guaranteed success! It’s called competition.
Winning is an attitude! Winners take success to heights beyond what others are willing to give!
Remember, keep moving forward to stay ahead in reverse.

It’s not about what you say, but how you say it!

Have you ever noticed politicians when they talk? They get asked questions and rarely if ever do they answer? In most cases, it’s not what you say, but how you say it! The best communicators are similar to politicians, but in our case, hopefully what we say will be meaningful, educational, and show compassion with true understanding for the things on our seniors minds.
So it is when you begin your communications with your senior prospects.
So, you want to start the conversation with uncovering the hidden stuff…
* Consider asking open ended questions, you ask, they talk, and you listen.
* Take notes during the questions and use them to understand
* Listen intently, do not interrupt
* Begin your conversation with, “Tell me about…”
You must consider the same question will get a different response from different clients; there is no right or wrong answers. Your job is to listen intently to how the answers that are expressed. Make notes for current and future reference.
Here is a list of control/action verbs that your seniors will appreciate when working with them:
Choice, control, create, decide, elect, embrace, guide, handle, lead, maintain, manage, option, organize, pick, plan, select, take action.
Using these words in a positive manner will add security and comfort to your senior clients. Remember, seniors are especially concerned about their lives and resist giving away anything to anyone who hasn’t earned it.
So, you need to know what to say and how to say it. I have lots of ways to say things, all tailored to different situations. Most seniors have different backgrounds, history, and opinions; you can’t come up with just one shoe fits all solution.
Below are just a few How to Say it’s:
“Mr. B, tell me, what concerns you most, since you have retired?”
“Mrs. H, tell me about, where you grew up and the impact that has had in your life today.”
“Mrs. S, thank you for your inquiry, but before we begin, I would like to know about you, do you have time now to talk?”
“Mr. S, tell me about what do you think is the biggest challenge facing you in daily life?”
“Mr. J, do you consider a legacy important and have you considered how that legacy will be shared.”
“Mrs. S, tell me a little about what you did when you worked full time?”
Once you understand the compelling underlying issues, concerns, and mindset of your senior prospects , then and only then can you consider a positive dialogue. You need to know everything you can.
Remember, keep moving forward to stay ahead in reverse.
