As I began my work day today, I realized that much of what I started came so natural to me that felt like I was in a “zone” where everything went right. Even the “karma” from other people that I dealt with, seem to “fall in place.” My goal was to get about 10 prospects to agree to receive my business materials and agree to a follow up meeting for presentations. Well I am proud to say, I scored 100%! Funny really. I had the plan, worked up the presentation, got the list of who to call, had my trusty scratch pad on my desk ready and willing to take down notes of the prospect’s needs. Normally, it would certainly be half empy pad because many people were just not responsive. But today was different. I don’t know if it was the “bounce” in my step or just the confidence I felt today…something happened and I could do no wrong.
I remember the amazing sports talent of Michael Jordan, basketball extraordinaire….on a certain interview with a well known sportscaster, when asked the secret of his skill, he replied, ” I just know I can put the ball in the basket, I am in the zone and I know I will never miss.”
We all manage to get in the zone, a place where everything is in sync and amazes us. Although many of us do not get in that state often, we know when it happens. Be cognitive of when you reach this point and strive to reach it day in and day out. That is what life is all about.
Peace and Love,
Bruce
