Suffering from 'spinning wheel' syndrome? Here's the cure...

Do you suffer from spinning wheel syndrome?

Here are some of the symptoms:

• Feeling like you're in a constant state of overwhelm
• Not having complete, total confidence your direction is the right one
• Taking one step forward and two steps back with your book-of-business
• Working harder and harder with little to no results to show for it
• Getting criticized by yourself and family for being too focused on work
• Criticizing yourself for not being more successful

If these describe your situation, you are not alone.

Today, we want to offer three pieces of sage advice we've received that we would do well to listen to more ourselves.

1) Limit your access to information.

I realize that such advice coming from a Sales Team Leader that specializes in producing information to help our Field Representatives grow is a little odd.

But the truth is, you are being bombarded with information from thousands of sources every single day.  Trying to filter it out has become a full time job that is eating up much or all of your valuable and productive time.

Thus, limit your sources of information.  In essence, this means removing distractions from your life.  Some of those distractions have become habits like watching the news or finding ways to avoid work you're afraid to complete.  Those distractions will be difficult to rid from your day, but if you want off of the merry-go-round, then you simply have no choice.

2) Integrate more discipline into your life.

One mentor of ours put it to us this way...

"It may be time to grow up." 

His point was that it's time to force discipline upon yourself so you can achieve your full potential. 

Yes, this is easier said than done, so you will have to determine if the inconvenience of change and effort is worth the result it produces.  That result being a fulfilling life moving you ever closer your goals and objectives.

3) Clarity

This is a powerful word. 

In our experience, we've found that most insurance professionals never really move ahead because they have no distinct and CLEAR goal or objective.

And we're not only talking about a yearly goal, but a monthly one, a weekly one and a daily one.

You can have more than one, but each goal AND its outcome must be crystal clear in your mind's eye.

Putting all this together looks like this:

Discipline + Limited Sources of Information + Clear Focus on Your Objective => The Cure for Spinning Wheel Syndrome (and with it a life of satisfaction and achievement.)

Isn't it time for you to stop spinning your wheels?

Sincerely,

Your 2020 Coach
