Yes, Yes, Yes – Understanding  what is holding you back

Great quote from the new Jim Carrey movie, “Yes Man”,
“Yes: say it a million times, then say it another million
times, what happens?”

What happens is that things start to move forward and
that your life takes a turn for the better.

What happens is you leave the rest behind and lead the race.

What happens is success.

Do any of the following sound familiar to you?

We need to get sales up.
No, we can’t get sales up, have you looked at how bad the economy is?

We need to go to the trade show in New York.
No, we can’t go, not a good time to spend the money.

We need to invest in some training for our people.
No, we can’t spend money for training.

What would happen if we got rid of the “No” and said “Yes” instead?

Let’s look at these three situations again:

Number 1:
We need to get sales up.
Yes we do and here is what we are going to do.

1.  Stop focusing on the negative that is being presented -
dump the negative.
2.  Start putting the right attitude on and face forward -
show people we believe we can do it.
3.  Get creative and become different – this is a great time to sell.

One of the big problems today is that it has been so
easy for so many years to sell, that many people
without any skill or ability have been able to survive.
But guess what?  That is not the case anymore, now
you have to be good to make it.  So, what are you
doing to do to be the best?

Number 2:
We need to go to the trade show in New York.

Yes, we are going to the tradeshow, in fact, we are going to
do it up right.  You see, many customers of our competitors
will be there.  But our competitors have elected to stay home.
Sounds like open territory for us.
How does this conversation sound.
You:    ”Hi Joe, good to see you and Cindy at the show”
Joe:    ”Thanks, we though we would see our supplier
here, but they do not have a booth”
You:    ”It has been tough on a number of companies,
but why not come over to our booth and let
me show you a few things.  We are doing very
well in this economic times and are
reaching out to really help our customers.”
Cindy:  “Well, I do not want to get caught short if our
supplier is in trouble financially.  Let’s see
what you have to offer”

Number 3:
We need to invest in some training for our people.
Yes, and not just training, but the good stuff.  There are some
great deals out there right now and we can take this chance to
upgrade our staff ’s skills.  Beside, once things really get
rolling, there is never time to train.  Let’s go for it, now.

Yes you can get your sales up.
Yes you can go to the trade show.
Yes to you can spend the money for training.

Yes, yes, yes.

This week we are looking at the “U” in the word success.
This means taking a look at and trying to understand the things that are
holding you back, the things that are affecting your attitude,
the things that are roadblocks to your success.  Then defining
how to remove them and get them out of your way.

The inability to say “Yes” to the things that will help
your organization create success are definitely roadblocks to
your movement forward.

The attitude that so many people have about the economy is really
creating an even greater problem.  Remember that attitude
controls so much.  Move forward and create success while the
others are still focused on the bad economy.  How much further
will you be ahead.  How much ground can you pick up.  How much
more successful will you be.

Understand what is holding you back and get it out of your way.
Success is right there for you, right now, go for it – Say YES!

And rent the movie “Yes Man” – it is another great Jim Carrey piece.

If you are not getting the results you want in your life,
career or business, then you need to call me.  People hire me
to help them attain the results they want.

Coaching can lead you to that result.
