How to make Monday the best day of the week
The Difference Between Making a Living VS Making a Fortune.
Its that time of the week again…
The day that some people dread to get out of bed to,
While a rare few are burning for the alarm to go off.
That’s right, its Monday.
You see Monday is a special day because it’s the day of the week that humans have decided that the doors of business become wide open for another painstaking yet sometimes supremely rewarding week of buying, selling, and prospecting. (Or, sometimes… the lack thereof)
Monday is a catalyst.
What happens on Monday can set the tone for the rest of the week.
4 good Mondays in a row can make your entire Quarter.
And a quarter of great Mondays could make your whole year.
This advantageous and occasionally explosive day of the week is so often overlooked and undervalued.
This is the perfect opportunity to be the person who gets the ball rolling for everyone you come in contact with.
The one who makes the call.
And when you take the initiative to make the calls, you are eventually the one who is calling all the shots.
How?
By being the reminder, instead of the reminded…
The reminders have their notes in hand and thoughts gathered from the week before with SPECIFIC ACTION STEPS WRITTEN DOWN.
Actions steps that move the needle.
Needle moving actions are born from the intention to win.
The intention to win comes from having that burning desire you hear so much about.
I could sum up this entire concept with just one simple quote.
“Successful people are always doing what the other guys are still talking about doing”
Now you probably think that I’m going to say that the people who need to be reminded are lazy, unaware, unmotivated losers…
If that were the case I would just be calling myself a loser, Because let’s be honest.
We all need to be reminded about some things in life on a consistent basis.
But the ones who take action on the awareness of what they need to be reminded of and find new ways to remind themselves make it so they are now AT THE VERY LEAST calling the shots for themselves.
After all…. You can’t GENUINELY give to others what you don’t already have for yourself.
It’s kind of like being in a plane crash…
They know that they can help more people if they have their own air mask on first.
The people who need to be reminded are simply those who have not picked up enough momentum to even HAVE other people to remind about anything yet.
You can’t start a car while its going 100mph.
However when you get the wheels rolling as soon as possible,
As long as possible,
AND your doing the best you possibly can.
You start to see the results that got you excited about what you do in the first place.
If you continue to rely on others to remind you on what you need to do to make money you won’t go broke, but you will ONLY ever be making a living.
But Bandrew….
Making a living is not a BAD thing.
Okay, but why not take a little extra effort and make a FORTUNE.
Taking REAL initiative in life is the difference between making a living, and making a fortune.
Real initiative is nothing more than just doing what you see needs to be done without being asked to do it.
What does it FEEL like to take real initiative?
It feels like not caring if you get the credit for doing what you did.
This is real leadership.
If you don’t lead a team or a company you might not think you need to learn about leadership.
But that’s the first mistake that most people make because for ALL PEOPLE the first step to success is learning how to lead yourself.
You have to be willing to take initiative in your own life before your going to make any real impact in other people’s lives.
When you think about impacting lives, I want you to think about impacting the lives of people you can reach out and touch.
Friends, family, partners.
The people who you love the most.
This is what all of us want deep down.
It’s what gives life real meaning and purpose.
Helping those who mean the most to us.
So Next Monday, Have the intention to wake up excited for the alarm clock to go off.
I want you to wake up with intention.
Wake up with intention to be present, to remind others, and most importantly…
to MAKE A FORTUNE.
Cheers to our success, Golden
