=A Winner's Image =

Picture for a moment, an image of yourself five years from today, enjoying everything you want to be, do and have. Imagine it all in every perfect detail with the people in your life congratulating you for your outstanding achievements over the past five years.

The moment you begin building this picture is the moment a deep desire begins to build within you and you begin to generate an enthusiasm to achieve this image.

This image you hold of being a winner is about to enter the most critical area of making it a reality. It is now going to begin to cross a line where so few salespeople continue and so many turn back. It is the area where goals are changed from positive goals that move you ahead toward success, to negative goals that move you back into safety. This area is called 'excessive feedback' and comes from the world around you in the form of conditions and circumstances and from the world within you, such as doubt, worry and fears of rejection, not to mention the fears of success. "What happens if I succeed?"

The 'excessive feedback' that salespeople receive is both positive and negative. A salesperson with a winner's image will see the feedback as the raw material to mould and shape the desired results while many salespeople settle for less than what they could be simply because they allow the feedback to define who they are rather than seeing it as something outside of them.

Negative feedback does not say "stop what you are doing". It does not say "you are not good enough to pull it off". It is saying to "modify what you are doing".

Consider this: In my one on one meetings with salespeople, I often discover that they feel their uncertainty is about a lack of ability when in reality, the uncertainty is a signal that they are leaving their comfort zone. Understand that it is not a signal to stop; it is a signal that you may be on the right track. Remember, goals immediately create discomfort.

The Winner's Image is an idea of what you can be. It is an image that is a promise of what can manifest as reality with a consistent and persistent action to first achieve it in the mind.Belief, not ability determines performance.

The process of building this Winner's Image begins by developing the habit of living in the moment. Why? Because your creative nature does not function in tomorrow. You can and should make long-range plans but don't try living tomorrow. Create it by living in the moment of today.
