Each week when I meet a new group of incoming Sales Consultants. During the introductions questions I always ask is what are your hobbies. Most everyone will admit to having a hobby. Then I follow that question with have you ever invested in your hobby with money or time? Generally, most attendees will agree that if they have a passion for something they will invest the time or money to make themselves better.

As I lead them through this conversation it always takes a strange, quiet turn with the next question. So, when is the last time you invested in your profession? The room is sometimes quiet. Why is that, that many people do not invest in themselves.

I love challenges. So the next words out of my mouth are always the same. What can you do today, this week or this month to invest some time in yourself. I can include money, if your buying a tool that you are going to put into action.

You see it is about putting something into action.

So, my challenge to you is put something new into action. Invest some time into improving your trade. If  you will challene yourself to do this on a regular basis where would you be a year from now?

Have a great attitude, and a great day!
