If We Had No Courage

Monday Morning Match is a quick post – maybe a quote, inspirational story or idea – intended to spark some motivation inside each of you so your week gets off to a fantastic start on Monday morning.

What is on your agenda this week? Are there any difficult activities or events that you’ll be facing? What needs to happen this week so that next Sunday night you’ll be able to confidently say, “it was a successful week.”

“What would life be like if we had no courage to attempt anything? – Vincent Van Gogh

I’m sure if you’re like most people, you’ve got big plans for the week ahead. You probably had big plans at this time last week too, didn’t you?

Trust me, I’m not judging.  

Big plans aren’t the problem. Big actions and big results usually are.

It’s time to make something happen… and I’m not talking about checking email, updating, Facebook status changes, Foursquare check-ins and spending hours this week surfing through the MLS.

How many appointments with new clients can you schedule this week? How many signatures can you secure this week? How many times will you continue after hearing “no”?

Do it today. Start now.

Build relationships, solve problems and have fun.

Commitment is a big word whether you’re talking about personal relationships or a cable tv agreement. The idea of sticking with one thing for an extended period of time can be scary.
